Performing Transitions using ExternalHardwarePanels
Graphic wipe parameters
Rate Rate specifies the length of the transition in seconds and frames.
The rate can be adjusted using the rate knob or by entering a number on the
number pad and pressing the set rate button.
Normal The normal direction moves the graphic from left to right.
Reverse Reverse changes the direction so that it moves the graphic from right to left.
FlipFlop When FlipFlop mode is toggled on, the transition changes between normal and
reverse every time the transition is executed. The ‘Normal’ or ‘Reverse’ light
indicates the direction of the next transition.
Fill Source The fill signal is the graphic used to move across the top of the transition.
Key Source The key signal is a grayscale image that defines the region in the graphic that
will be removed so that the fill signal can be correctly stacked on top
of the wipe.
Graphic wipe images
The graphic wipe feature requires a static graphic that is used as a moving border for a
horizontal wipe. This graphic should be a vertical ‘banner’ type graphic that is no more than
25% of the total screen width.

Manual Transitions
Manual transitions let you manually transition between program and preview sources using the
fader bar in the transition control block. Mix, dip, wipe and DVE transitions can all be performed
as a manual transition.
To perform a manual transition
1 On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
2 Select the transition type using the transition type buttons in the transition
control block.
3 Manually move the fader bar or transition slider from one end to the other to execute
the transition. The next move on the fader bar or transition slider will begin a new
transition.
