Displaying a List of Transition Rates
 
and Changing the Settings 
In the Misc >Transition >Key/ME/FTB menu (3231), for
 
each bank you can display a list of the M/E (or PGM/PST)
 
transition rates and independent key (or DSK) transition
 
rates, and change the settings. 
These settings are linked to the other transition rate setting
 
operations. 
You can also display and set the fade-to-black transition
 
rate. 
 
 
Menu display 
The display of the independent key transition rate in the
 
Misc >Transition >Key/ME/FTB menu (3231) depends on
 
the selection in the <Key Transition> group of the
 
Engineering Setup >Switcher >Transition menu (7334) for
 
each of the switcher banks. 
When [Same] (On direction and Off direction settings
 
are the same) is selected in the <Key Transition>
 
group: Only “Key” (or “DSK” in the PGM/PST bank)
 
appears. 
When [Independ] (On direction and Off direction
 
settings are independent) is selected in the <Key
 
Transition> group: “Key(On)” and “Key(Off)” each
 
appear. In the PGM/PST bank, “DSK(On)” and
 
“DSK(Off)” appear.
