Transition Type Buttons
The two transition type buttons allow the operator to select one of five types of transitions; mix, wipe, dip,
DVE, and stinger. Mix and wipe transition types are selected by pressing the appropriately labeled transition
type button.
Dip and DVE transition types are selected by holding down the SHIFT button while pressing the desired
transition type button, or by double-pressing the desired transition type button. The button will illuminate
green indicating a shifted transition type.
The stinger transition type is selected by simultaneously pressing both transition type buttons. When stinger
transitions are selected, both buttons will be illuminated green.
PREV TRANS
The PREV TRANS button enables the preview transition mode allowing the operator to verify a dip, mix,
wipe or DVE transition by performing it on the preview output using the fader bar. Once you press this
button on, you can preview your transition as many times as you like allowing you to make changes and
corrections as needed. You can even preview stinger transitions! Once you are happy with the preview
transition, press the button off and you are now ready to send your transition on air.
