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.
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.

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.
DSK CUT
The DSK CUT button is used to cut the DSK on or off air and indicates whether the DSK is currently on or off
air. The button is illuminated if the DSK is currently on air.
DSK AUTO
The DSK AUTO button will mix the DSK on or off air at the rate specified in the DSK rate window.
Fade to Black
FTB
The FTB button will fade the program output to black at the rate specified in the FTB rate window. Once the
program output has been faded to black, the FTB button will remain illuminated red until it is pressed again,
fading the program output up from black at the same rate. A fade to black cannot be previewed.
