Transition Limits
The Transition Limit allows you to set the point in a
transition where an auto transition stops. When active,
the point in the transition where the auto transition will
stop is indicated by a ashing segment on the transition
progress bar next to the fader handle. The auto transition
proceeds to this point and stops. The second auto
transition starts from the transition limit point and goes
back to where the rst transition started.
Tip: If you turn Limit off when the transition has stopped at the
transition limit point, the next transition starts from the transition
limit point and goes forward to complete the transition, instead
of going back to the start.
To Set Up a Transition Limit
A transition limit is set using the fader of the ME that
you want to set up the transition limit on. The transition
limit is specic to the ME it is set on.
1.
Set up the transition you want to perform.
2.
Press NEXT until Limit is shown on the menu.
Tip: You can use the same procedure for a MiniME
™
or
MultiScreen.
3.
Move the fader to the position in the transition where
you want to set the transition limit point.
4.
Toggle the Limit knob (On) to set the transition
limit point.
The segment on the transition progress bar next to
the fader handle ashes, indicating the location of
the transition limit point.
The transition limit is set and active for the ME you set
it on. You can turn transition limit on and off by toggling
the Limit knob while the fader is at either the top or
bottom limit. If the fader is not on a limit when you
toggle the transition limit on, a new transition limit will
be set. Double-press the Limit knob to reset the transition
limit point.
GPI Output Triggers
Each video source can have a GPI output assigned to it.
This GPI can be used to trigger an external device, such
as a video server, to play the cued clip when the video
sources from the video server are taken on-air. This
trigger can be set up to occur automatically any time the
video source is transitioned on-air, or it can be triggered
manually.
An automatic GPI output trigger can be overridden if
required.
Note: The Next Button Secondary Function must be set to GPO
to be able to trigger a GPI output manually using the NEXT
button.
Keep the following in mind when working with GPI
output triggers:
•
The RlClip knob must be set to On to trigger a GPI
output with a transition.
• Edge triggered GPI outputs remain triggered for the
congured duration.
• Level triggered GPI outputs toggle between high and
low each time they are triggered.
To Manually Trigger a GPI Output
The GPI must already be set up as a output and the Next
button functionality must be set to GPO before you can
manually trigger it.
1.
Press and hold the NEXT button.
While holding the Next button, the mnemonic
buttons light for each GPI output that is currently
triggered.
2.
Press the mnemonic button for the GPI output you
want to trigger.
To Override a GPI Output
The RlClip personality option must be set to User for
you to override GPI output triggering.
1.
Prepare the transition as required, but do not perform
the transition.
2.
Press the transition type button again to bring up the
transition menus.
3.
Use the RlClip knob to select whether the GPI
output is triggered (On), or is not triggered (Off).
