Transition Subpanels
E-MEM recall operations result in another set of conditions for
lever arm transitions. When an E-MEM recall places a transition at
a point different from that of the lever arm, the lever arm becomes
inactive until it is moved to catch up with the transition. For
example, assume the lever arm is on a limit and an E-MEM recall
puts the transition at some midpoint. In such a case, the lever arm
would be inoperative until you moved it far enough to catch up
with the transition. At that point, you could use the lever arm to
complete the transition or return it to the beginning limit. (Or, you
could press AUTO TRAN to complete the transition). Another
example of use with E-MEM is a case where the lever arm is off
limit and an E-MEM recall puts the transition on a limit. In this
instance, both lever direction lights would be lit, indicating the
lever arm is inoperative. Moving the lever arm to either limit will
turn the direction lights off and reactivate the lever arm. (You
could also use AUTO TRAN to resume the transition since auto
transitions continue to function even when the lever arm is
inoperative.)
Pressing the AUTO TRAN button starts an automatic S-linear
transition at the rate displayed on the LEDs next to the button. The
AUTO TRAN
button supports the same transitions as the lever arm:
BKGD B
, BKGD A, KEY 1, KEY 2, KEY PRIOR, or any combination
thereof.
You can specify a transition rate by entering a value from 0 to 999
frames on the numeric keypad on the Effects Memory subpanel. A
zero frame transition is equivalent to a cut. (Refer to the M/E and
Master Effects Memory subpanel descriptions later in this section
for further information on setting the rate.) The lamp in the AUTO
TRAN
button remains lit for the duration of the transition.
Pressing AUTO TRAN a second time during a transition, stops the
transition at the current point. The transition can be completed by
pressing the button a third time or by moving the lever arm to its
opposite limit. The lever arm becomes active when it catches up
with the auto transition in progress. Pressing the CUT button
leaves the transition where it stopped but reverses the two videos
or the logic state of a key. Similarly, you can start a transition by
using the lever arm and complete it by pressing the AUTO TRAN
