Bus fixed mode
Depending on the transition, the cross-points of the
bac
kground A bus and background B bus do not
interchange.
When the fader lever is at the top of its travel, the
bac
kground A bus signal is 100% output. When the fader
lever is at the bottom of its travel, background B bus
signal is 100% output.
To execute a manual transition, operate the fader lever in
t
he direction of the transition as shown below.
Auto transitions are executed regardless of the fader lever
po
sition.
• When the background and one or more keys (1 to 8) are
t
argets of a transition, the transition direction of all
selected background/keys must be the same as the fader
lever operation direction.
• If as a result of an auto transition, the fader lever position
does not match the background/key signal output state, a
non-sync state occurs and LEDs light/flash at both ends
of the transition indicator.
Split fader
Split fader is a function that splits a single fader lever into
left and right, allowing you to control background A bus
and background B bus transitions independently.
The fader lever on the simple-type transition control
b
lock is split into two by pressing the lock button to
unlock the two fader levers for use as split faders.
The split fader levers support the following buses.
• Right fader lever: Background A bus (main)
• Left fader lever: Background B bus
The split fader function can be enabled/disabled for each
swi
tcher bank. You can also change which is the main
fader lever.
For details about setting split fader, see “Enabling/
Disabling Split Faders” (page 394) and “Setting the
main fader lever when using split faders” (page 419).
The following conditions must be satisfied in order to use
th
e fader lever as split faders.
• Bus fixed mode is set.
• Split faders are enabled.
• Mix or NAM (non-additive mix) is selected for
t
ransition type.
• If the transition type is a clip transition, Mix or NAM
(
non-additive mix) is selected for the background
transition type.
• If the switcher bank operation mode is set to multi
pr
ogram 2 mode, the switcher bank is set to main.
If these conditions are not satisfied, only the main
(
background A bus) fader lever can be operated.
When not using split fader lever operation, disable split
fad
ers.
If enabled, a black image or super mix image may be
out
put when the transition type is changed.

The relationship between the position of the fader lever
and t
he output for a mix transition type is given below.
The A bus and B bus output for a NAM transition type is
an i
mage created using non-additive mixing.
The transition indicator displays the progress of the
