Functions 9000-DVS 1 Chapter

background output is always from the background A bus. This is called “flip- flop mode.”

The alternative is known as “bus fixed mode,” in which there is no bus interchange. In this mode, when the fader lever is at the top of its travel the output from the A bus is always 100%, and when the fader lever is at the bottom of its travel the output from the B bus is 100%.

Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode

For details of fader lever operation in bus fixed mode, see page 195.

Transition preview

With the preview output of the M/E bank 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 196).)

Note

In multi-program mode, DSK mode (page 129) or bus fixed mode (page 33), 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.
