Fade To Black
The Fade To Black function is normally needed when a live broadcast has a problem, it would
be used to take the program output to “Black”.
To use fade to black, enable FTB by selecting Fade To Black - “Pgm”.
The above parameter controls alter the FTB profile and transition timing.
Profile - The Profile parameter control will adjust the FTB transition curve profile. Changing the
curve profile will make the transition accelerate or decelerate at a specific moment in the FTB
transition period. The curve profile can only be used to change the Cubic S/Sin S and Cubic
Curve/Sin Curve profiles, which are selected using the Shape parameter control. The Linear
profile cannot be adjusted.
Shape - Selecting one of the Shape options will depict the type of profile curve, this will alter
the acceleration rate for a FTB transition.
Linear - constant transition, no change in transition acceleration
Cubic C and Sin C - these profiles are similar to each other, the default transition will have a fast
acceleration at the start and slowdown towards the end.
Cubic Curve and Sin Curve - these profiles are also similar to each other, the default transition
will accelerate at the start slow down towards the mid point and accelerate again.
Time - this parameter alters the amount of time that it takes for the FTB to transition. The
parameter adjusts the minutes/seconds, frames and fields. FTB works with the “Cut
