Settings" (page 452).

Pattern Limit

When a wipe or DME wipe pattern is selected for the transition, you can
specify the range of movement of the wipe pattern through the course of the
transition, for each bank independently.
When the pattern limit function is enabled, carrying out a transition results in
the following effect for example settings.
• When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end of the transition is
the same as when the fader lever is at the center position in the normal case
(with the pattern limit function disabled); the wipe pattern does not complete.
• When the limit value is set to 0%, the wipe effect is completely disabled, and
carrying out the transition produces no change in the image.
• When the limit value is set to the maximum 100%, the image changes in
exactly the same way as when the pattern limit function is off, but when the
transition is completed, the cross-point selections on the background A and
B buses do not interchange.
There are two ways of setting a pattern limit: either by operating the fader lever
to save the fader position, or by using the Wipe menu or DME Wipe menu to
access the Edge/Direction menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
Notes
• A pattern limit only applies when a wipe or DME wipe is selected as the
transition type.
• A pattern limit cannot be applied to an independent key transition (see page
188).
