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

b Next 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.
c OVER indicators
When key 1 and key 2 are inserted, the OVER indicator for
the key on top lights.
d Transition 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).

Press the corresponding button to instantly insert or delete
key 1 or key 2. The [KEY1 ON] button lights in red when

button works in the same way.
