Manual Transitions

Manual transitions allow you to manually transition between program and preview sources using the fader
bar in the transition control block. Mix, dip, wipe and DVE transitions can all be performed as a manual
transition.
To perform a manual transition on the software control panel or the broadcast panel
Step 1. On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
Step 2. Select the transition type using the transition type buttons in the transition control block.
Step 3. Manually move the fader bar from one end to the other to execute the transition.
The next fader bar move will begin a new transition.
Step 4. During the transition the red and green buttons on the program and preview buses both turn red
to indicate that you are in the middle of a transition. On the broadcast panel, the fader bar indicator
also displays the position and progress of the transition. On the software control panel, the virtual
fader bar displays the position and progress of the transition.
Step 5. At the end of the transition sources selected on the program and preview buses are exchanged
to indicate that the video source that was on preview is now on program and vice versa.
