Functions 9000-DVS 1 Chapter

Transition preview

With the preview output of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance. To carry out a transition preview, press the [TRANS PVW] button in the transition control block. (See “Transition Preview” (page 247).)

Note

In multi-program mode, DSK mode (page 152) or bus fixed mode (page 43), it is not possible to carry out a transition preview.

Pattern limit

When a wipe or DME wipe pattern is selected for the transition, you can specify the range of movement of the wipe pattern through the course of the transition, for each bank independently.

When the pattern limit function is enabled, carrying out a transition results in the following effect for example settings.

When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end of the transition is the same as when the fader lever is at the center position in the normal case (with the pattern limit function disabled); the wipe pattern does not complete.

When the limit value is set to 0%, the wipe effect is completely disabled, and carrying out the transition produces no change in the image.

When the limit value is set to the maximum 100%, the image changes in exactly the same way as when the pattern limit function is off, but when the

transition is completed, the cross-point selections on the background A and B buses do not interchange.

You can specify the limit value either by entering a numeric value in the menu, or by operating the fader lever to set the fader lever position. (See “Pattern Limit” (page 239).)

Note

The pattern limit function is not available in an independent key transition.

Fade to black

The PGM/PST bank provides a fade-to-black function, controlled with the [FTB] button in the fade to black control block. (See “Fade to Black” (page 253).)

Note

In multi-program mode or DSK mode, it is possible to carry out a fade-to-black on a number of programs simultaneously.

You can also make a Setup menu setting such that a fade-to-black does not apply to particular programs.
