Transition indicator: Displays the progress of the transition with 24 LEDs. The number of lit LEDs increases as the transition proceeds.

Transition rate display section: Displays the specified transition rate (the time from the start to the end of the transition, in units of frames).

See “Setting Transition Rates” (page 69) for more information about how to specify transition rates.

AUTO TRANS (transition) button: Press to execute a transition automatically at the specified transition rate. The transition begins immediately, and the button lights in amber. The button goes out when the transition finishes.

CUT button: Press to execute an instant transition.

bNext transition selection buttons

To specify which part of the video to switch (change) in the next transition, press one of the following buttons, turning it on.

BKGD (background): Switches the background video in the next transition.

KEY1, KEY2: Press the [KEY1] button, turning it on, to insert key 1 into the background in the next transition, or to delete it from the background. If key 1 is not currently inserted, the transition inserts it. If key 1 is currently inserted, the transition deletes it. The [KEY2] button works in the same way.

KEY PRIOR (priority): When key 1 and key 2 are inserted in an overlapping state, the key on top appears in front on the monitor. By pressing this button, turning it on, you can reverse the priority of the two keys in the next transition.

cOVER indicators

When key 1 and key 2 are inserted, the OVER indicator for the key on top lights.

dTransition type selection buttons

To select the type of transition, press one of the following buttons, turning it on.

MIX: In a background transition, the new video overlaps the current video, finally replacing it. During the transition, the sum of the output levels of the A bus and the B bus is maintained at 100%.

In a key transition, the key fades in (for insertion) or out (for removal).

EFF (effect): A transition using the selected effect pattern is executed.

See “Selecting Effects” (page 56) for more information about how to select effects.

PST (preset) COLOR MIX : This is a two-stage mix (dissolve), comprising two transitions. In the first transition, a color matte is gradually mixed into the current video. In the second transition, the new video is gradually mixed into the color matte.

You can perform both of these operations in a single transition.

For details, see “Setting a Preset Color Mix” (page 175).

eKEY1 ON and KEY2 ON buttons

Press the corresponding button to instantly insert or delete key 1 or key 2. The [KEY1 ON] button lights in red when key 1 is inserted into the program video (final output video). Otherwise it lights in amber. The [KEY2 ON] button works in the same way.
