361Executing a Transition
Chapter 3 Transitions
If the fader lever is moved in the direction away from the lit LEDs, this
carries out the next transition, over the remaining part of the fader lever
travel.
Even in a non-sync state, you can carry out an auto transition by pressing the
[AUTO TRANS] button. During the auto transition, the indicators show the
transition progress in the usual way, but when the transition completes, they
once again indicate the non-sync state.
Fader Lever Operation in Bus Fixed Mode
In the bus fixed mode there is a fixed relationship between the position of the
fader lever and the signal output on each bus. Depending on the direction of the
transition, the fader lever must therefore always be moved in a particular
direction, as shown in the following table. This does not affect an auto
transition, which is executed regardless of the fader lever direction.
For an overview of the bus fixed mode, see “Flip-flop mode and bus fixed
mode” (page 45).
Fader lever operating direction in bus fixed mode
Manual transition completed as auto
transition when moving the fader
lever upward: Top two LEDs light.
Manual transition completed as
auto transition when moving the
fader lever downward: Bottom two
LEDs light.
Once the fader lever is moved
to this position, the non-sync
state ends, and the next
transition (direction shown by
the arrow) is possible.
