Split Fader

What does “split fader” mean?

The term “split fader” refers to the function of carrying out a transition with the fader lever split into left and right halves, so that the background A and background B buses can be manipulated separately.

To use the split fader, the following conditions must be met.

The fader lever is in bus fixed mode. (See “Settings Relating to Video Switching (Transition Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).)

The necessary settings have been made in a Setup menu to enable the split fader (See “Settings Relating to Video Switching (Transition Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).)

A background is selected for the next transition.

For the transition type, [MIX] or [NAM] is selected.
