Mix The new video progressively 
fades in over the current 
video. The sum of the two 
video outputs is maintained 
at a constant, with the output 
of each at 50% at the mid-
point of the transition (i.e., 
when the fader lever is in the 
center position).
Selectable
NAM (non-
additive 
mix)
The current video and new 
video signals are compared, 
and the signal with the 
higher luminance level is 
given priority in the output. 
The signals are compared at 
the mid-point of the 
transition when both signals 
are at 100%, at which point 
the signal with the higher 
luminance level is output.
Not selectable
Super mix The current video is 
maintained at 100% output 
for the first half of the 
transition as the new video 
is mixed while increasing 
progressively to 100% at the 
mid point of the transition.
Not selectable
