Transition Preview
Carrying out a transition preview
To carry out a transition preview, use the following procedure.
For an overview of the transition preview, see page 34.
1 In the M/E or PGM/PST bank transition control block, press the [TRANS PVW] button.
The [TRANS PVW] button lights green, and the switcher is now in the transition preview mode. At this point, the preview output is the same as the program output before the [TRANS PVW] button was pressed.
2 Operate the fader lever, or press the [AUTO TRANS] button or [CUT] button.
On the preview monitor, you can check the effect of the transition.
To terminate a transition preview
There are three modes for a transition preview. To terminate a transition preview, carry out the operation which depends on the mode, and press the [TRANS PVW] button, turning it off.
Lock: Toggling the [TRANS PVW] button on and off switches between the transition preview mode and the normal mode.
Hold: The preview mode obtains only while the [TRANS PVW] button is held down.
One Time: Each time a transition ends, it reverts to the normal mode.
For details of the mode setting, see “Settings Relating to Video Switching (Transition Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
