Ross Vision - Transition Type Buttons

Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD) Transitions • Ops 5–5
TRANS LIMIT
The Transition Limit (TRANS LIMIT) allows you to set the point where a transition will stop.
This allows you to have a transition proceed only half way and stop. The next transition is
performed from that stop point, back to the original starting point. With a Transition Limit in
place, a transition will not proceed to the other end of the transition.
For More Information...
• on setting up a Transition Limit, refer to the section “Transition Limits” on page Ops
5-17.
ROLL CLIP
The Roll Clip allows you to tie the playout of a VTR, Video Server, or Audio Server to the next
transition, or have the clip play immediately. Roll Clip only works with external devices that are
being controlled by the Vision switcher. The Roll Clip operates in one of two modes as follows:
• Play — In Play mode, pressing the ROLL CLIP button immediately plays the cued clip
on the external device that is tied into the Transition Module. This includes devices on
MLEs that are re-entered onto this MLE. Only one device per bus can be played using the
Roll Clip.
• Arm — In Arm mode, selecting ROLL CLIP tells the switcher to play all cued clips that
are part of the next transition when the transition is performed. When a transition is
performed, all cued clips start to play, including clips on MLEs that are re-entered onto
this MLE.
• Armed Always — In Armed Always mode, the switcher locks the ROLL CLIP button
in Arm Mode and does not allow it to be turned off.
Note — If a pre-roll time has been set up for your device, the Roll Clip will hold the transition for
that amount of time before it starts the transition. The pre-roll time is not applied if the Roll Clip is
set to Play Mode.
Transition Type Buttons
The Transition Type buttons (Figure 5.6) allow you to select what type of transition you want to
perform. You can select a Dissolve (DISS), Wipe (WIPE), Squeeze & Tease transition (DVE), or
run a Sequence (SEQ) from the Transition Module.
Figure 5.6 Transition Type — Transition Module (4-Keyer Shown)
Unlike the other transition types, a Sequence does not take a source on-air or off-air. Instead, the
sequence is run as created with the key going from the start position to the end position with no
transition at the end.
