aTransition type selection buttons Press one of these buttons, turning it on, to determine the type of the next transition for a background.

To select the key transition type, hold down the [KEY1] or [KEY2] button, and press one of the following buttons, turning it on. 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%.

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

DME: This applies a wipe-like transition, using the DME effect selected in the DME Wipe menu.

bKey transition selection buttons To insert or delete key 1 on the next transition, hold down the [KEY1] button, and select the type of transition using the transition type selection buttons. If the key is currently not inserted, the transition will insert it, and if the key is currently inserted, the transition will delete it. You can use the [KEY2] button in a similar way.

cTransition execution section

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

When the split fader function is enabled, by pressing the projection on the left side of the grip you can release the lock and separate the two halves of the fader lever. With the split fader lever, in a background mix transition, you can control the background A and B buses independently.

Transition indicator: This comprises 30 LEDs, which show the progress of the transition.

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

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

TAKE button: Pressing this button carries out an auto transition of the set transition rate. The transition starts immediately, and the button lights amber. When the transition completes, the button goes off.

dWipe direction selection buttons

REV (reverse): When this button is off, the wipe proceeds in the normal direction. When the button is lit, the wipe proceeds in the reverse direction.

The normal direction refers to the black to white direction or in the direction of the arrow as shown in the appendixes “Wipe Pattern List” and “DME Wipe Pattern List” (Volume 2).

NORM/REV (normal/reverse): The wipe direction alternates between normal and reverse every time a transition is executed.

ePattern limit buttons

LIMIT SET: Move the fader lever to the position of a particular pattern size, and
