a Transition type selection buttons
Press one of these buttons, turning it on, to
determine the type of the next transition for
a background.
To select the key transition type, hold down
the [KEY1] or [KEY2] button, and press
one of the following buttons, turning it on.
When multi-program mode is selected in
the Setup menu (see “Settings for Switcher
Configuration (Config Menu)” in Chapter
16 (Volume 2)), two or more of the
following buttons may light.
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%.
WIPE: The current video is replaced by the
new video, using the wipe pattern
selected in the Wipe menu.
DME: This applies a wipe-like transition,
using the DME effect selected in the
DME Wipe menu.
b Key transition selection buttons
To insert or delete key 1 on the next
transition, hold down the [KEY1] button,
and select the type of transition using the
transition type selection buttons. If the key
is currently not inserted, the transition will
insert it, and if the key is currently inserted,
the transition will delete it. You can use the
[KEY2] button in a similar way.
c Transition execution section
Fader lever: Move this vertically to carry
out a transition.
When the split fader function is
enabled, by pressing the projection on
the left side of the grip you can release
the lock and separate the two halves of
the fader lever. With the split fader
lever, in a background mix transition,
you can control the background A and
B buses independently.
Transition indicator: This comprises 30
LEDs, which show the progress of the
transition.
Transition rate display: This displays the
transition rate (the time from the
beginning of the 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.
TAKE button: Pressing this button carries
out an auto transition of the set
transition rate. The transition starts
immediately, and the button lights
amber. When the transition completes,
the button goes off.
d Wipe direction selection buttons
REV (reverse): When this button is off, the
wipe proceeds in the normal direction.
When the button is lit, the wipe
proceeds in the reverse direction.
The normal direction refers to the black
to white direction or in the direction of
the arrow as shown in the appendixes
“Wipe Pattern List” and “DME Wipe
Pattern List” (Volume 2).
NORM/REV (normal/reverse): The wipe
direction alternates between normal
and reverse every time a transition is
executed.
e Pattern limit buttons
LIMIT SET: Move the fader lever to the
position of a particular pattern size, and
