Displaying a List of Transition Rates and Changing the Settings

In the Transition menu, for each bank you can display a list of the M/E (or PGM/PST) transition rates and independent key (or DSK) transition rates, and change the settings.

These settings are linked to the other transition rate setting operations. You can also display and set the fade-to-black transition rate.

Displaying the Transition menu

In the menu control block, press the top menu selection button [MISC], then select VF3 ‘Transition.’

The Misc >Transition menu appears.

About the Transition menu display

The display of the independent key transition rate in the Misc >Transition menu depends on the selection in the <Key Transition> group of the Engineering Setup >Switcher >Transition menu for each of the M/E and PGM/ PST banks.

When [Same] (On direction and Off direction settings the same) is selected in the <Key Transition> group: Only “Key” (or “DSK” in the PGM/PST bank) appears.

When [Independ] (On direction and Off direction settings independent) is selected in the <Key Transition> group: “Key(On)” and “Key(Off)” each appear. In the case of the PGM/PST bank, “DSK(On)” and “DSK(Off)” appear.

For more details, see “Settings Relating to Video Switching (Transition Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
