WhiteFlash
Perform a two-step transition where a dissolve to and
from white, or other selected color, is performed in the
middle of the transition. The video signal on the
Background bus is transitioned to a color background of
the selected WhiteFlash color. The color background is
then transitioned to the preset bus. WhiteFlash consumes
a pattern generator for the transition.
Each ME has a separate WhiteFlash generator.
To Set Up a WhiteFlash
A WhiteFlash transition is performed just like a normal
dissolve except that you must set the color for the ash

Wipe Transitions
A Wipe is a gradual transition where one video signal is
replaced with another according to a wipe pattern. In the
example below, a line wipe is being used.
Figure 23: Wipe Transition
For Key transitions, the key is wiped on or off-air with
the transition and the background remains untouched.
The duration of a wipe transition depends on either the
transition rate for the ME, or the rate at which the fader
is moved.
To Set Up a Wipe
A wipe transition requires that you select a wipe pattern,
set the direction and number/size of wipe pattern, as well
as set a background and key transition rate for the auto
transition. A fader transition does not use the transition
rate.
