Transition Style Buttons
The transition style buttons allow the operator to select one of five styles of transitions; mix, wipe, dip, DVE,
and stinger. Mix, wipe, stinger and DVE transition styles are selected by pressing the appropriately labeled
transition style button which will illuminate yellow.
The Dip transition style is selected by holding down the SHIFT button while pressing the MIX/DIP transition
style button, or by double-pressing the MIX/DIP button. The button will illuminate green indicating a shifted
transition style.
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.
Next Transition
The BKGD, KEY 1, KEY 2, KEY 3, KEY 4 buttons are used to select the elements which will transition on air or
off air with the next transition. Any combination of background and keys can be selected by pressing multiple
buttons simultaneously. Double-pressing the BKGD button selects all of the next transition upstream keyers
that are currently on air and copies them to the Next Transition buttons.
Pressing any of the next transition buttons will clear selection of all others. When selecting the elements of
the next transition, the switcher operator should look at the preview output because it provides an accurate
representation of what the program output will look like after the transition is completed. When only the
BKGD button is selected, a transition from the current source on the program bus to the source selected on
the preview bus will occur.
ON AIR
The ON AIR indicator buttons indicate which of the upstream keys are currently on air and can also be used
to immediately cut a key on or off air.

Downstream Keyers

DSK TIE
The DSK TIE button will enable the DSK on the preview output, along with the next transition effects, and tie
it to the main transition control so that the DSK can be taken to air with the next transition.
Because the tied downstream keyer is now tied to the main transition, the transition will happen at the rate
specified in the transition rate display of the transition control block. When the DSK is tied, the signal routing
to the clean feed 1 is unaffected.
