key is currently inserted it will be removed, and vice versa.

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 Press one of these buttons, turning it on, to determine the type of the next transition. 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.

cTransition execution section Transition indicator: This comprises 30

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 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 amber. When the transition completes, the button goes off.

CUT button: Pressing this button carries out the transition as a cut (i.e. instantaneously).

dWipe direction selection buttons When you have selected a wipe or DME wipe as the transition type, press one of these buttons, turning it on, to select the wipe direction.

NORM (normal): The wipe proceeds in the direction from black to white as shown on the pattern in the lists of patterns (see the appendixes “Wipe Pattern List” and “DME Wipe Pattern List” (Volume 2), or in the direction of the arrow.
