The BLACK button is used to transition the system’s output to/from black, no matter what combination of sources are currently on Program. For example:
•If a single source is on Program (e.g., Input 1), the system will mix to black at the current transition rate.
•If multiple sources are on Program (e.g., Input 1 + Key), the system will mix all sources to Black at the current transition rate.
When BLACK is pressed, one of two different actions can occur, depending on how the “Black Auto Take” function is set in the User Preference Menu.
•Black Auto Take Off
