Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD) Transitions • Ops 5–19
WhiteFlash
The WhiteFlash feature allows you to perform a two-step transition where a dissolve to and from
white, or other selected color, is performed in the middle of the transition (Figure 5.27). 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 background generator for the transition.

4. Toggle the MLE Rate to Yes or No to use the transition rate for the MLE as the

total MLE Rate.
• No — Select this option to not use the MLE Rate as the transition rate for the
WhiteFlash. The Onset, Hold, and Fade rates are the number of frames for each
part of the WhiteFlash. The MLE Rate is not used for this transition.
