2. Basic operations
2-1-3. Selecting the transition mode
Use the [BKGD] and [KEY] switches in the transition area to select the bus signals for which the transition is to be executed. If the switches have been pressed at the same time, both switches are selected. The indicator of a selected switch lights in amber.
The switches cannot be selected while a transition is being executed or suspended.
Use the [MIX] and [WIPE] switches in the transition area to select the background transition mode. Select one of these switches, and the indicator of the selected switch lights in amber.
MIX always applies to key transitions whichever switch has been selected.
2-1-4. Manual transition (using the fader lever)
Operate the fader lever to execute transitions manually.
If the fader lever has been operated during auto transition, auto transition will be switched to manual operation as soon as the fader position overtakes the amount of the transition being executed.
The bus tally LEDs on the left of the fader lever indicate the program bus output status.
Top LED only lights: | PGM/A bus output |
Top and bottom LEDs light: PGM/A, PST/B output (during the transition)
Bottom LED only lights: | PST/B output |
2-1-5. Auto transition
When the [AUTO] switch is pressed, the transition is executed automatically using the transition time which has been set.
If the [AUTO] switch is pressed while the fader lever is at a midway position, the remaining transition will be executed automatically using the transition time which has been set.
The auto transition time is set using the menu. It can be set separately for BKGD and KEY.
1 Press the [FUNC] switch to light its indicator, and press the [TIME] switch to display the TIME menu.
2 Turn [F1] to display the BKGD or KEY menu.
3 Turn [F4] to select the display unit using the UNIT item.
4 When frames (F) have been selected as the unit, turn [F2] or [F3] to set the transition time.
5 When seconds (SEC) have been selected as the unit, turn [F2] to set the second units or [F3] to set the frame units.
