removed, and if it is not currently inserted, it will be inserted.

In the PGM/PST bank, this inserts or removes downstream keys 1 to 4.

KEY PRIOR (priority): When this button is lit, the setting of the key priority after the next transition is enabled. The key priority after the next transition appears in the key status display.

ALL: Pressing this button turns on a preselected set of the [BKGD], [KEY1] to [KEY4], and [KEY PRIOR] buttons. Make this setting in a Setup menu.

bTransition type selection buttons You can assign these buttons in setup to any transition type (see “Overall Control Panel Settings (Config Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2)).

Press one of these buttons, turning it on, to determine the type of the next transition. When multi-program mode is selected in the Setup menu (see “Settings for Switcher Configuration (Config Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2)), two or more of the following buttons may light.

MIX: In a background transition, the new video fades in as the current video fades out. During the transition, the overall signal level is maintained at 100%.

In a key transition, the key fades in (for insertion) or out (for removal).

NAM (non-additive mix): The current and new video signals are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video increases progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half while the new video is maintained at 100%.

SUPER MIX: The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first

half of the transition as the new video is mixed while increasing progressively to 100%. The current video is then progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half while the new video is maintained at 100%.

PST (preset) COLOR MIX: In the first transition, the current video is replaced by the color matte in a mix (dissolve), then in the second transition the color matte is replaced by the new video also in a mix (dissolve).

WIPE: The current video is replaced by the new video, using the wipe pattern selected in the Wipe menu.

DME: A wipe type of transition is carried out, using the DME effect selected in the DME Wipe menu.

FM1&2ClIP, FM3&4ClIP, FM5&6ClIP, FM7&8ClIP: A recorded clip is played back together with the transition. At this point, you can also carry out a transition (wipe or mix (dissolve)) simultaneously together with the clip.

cTransition execution section Transition indicator: This comprises multiple LEDs, which show the

progress of the transition.

Fader lever: Move this to carry out a manual transition.

Transition rate display: This shows the “transition rate” (the time from the beginning of a transition to its completion) set for an auto transition, in frames.

You can set the transition rate using the numeric keypad control block, Flexi Pad control block, or menu.

AUTO TRANS (transition) button: Pressing this button carries out an auto transition of the set transition rate (duration). The transition starts immediately, and the button lights
