Transitions
Overview
Switching from the current output image to a new image 
is referred to as a transition.
Switching a background image or key insertion/removal 
can
 be performed, depending on the transition.
The method for switching images (transition type) can be 
set
, and the transition executed using the buttons and 
fader lever on the control panel.
Independent key transition
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to 
con
figure independent transitions for each key.
Executing an independent key transition in combination 
wi
th a common transition enables different transition 
types to be used for the background and keys.
Transition operation flow
Changing the background
To switch the background in a transition, select a 
background for a next transition.
Select a background image using background A bus and 
bac
kground B bus.
When set to flip-flop mode, background A is the existing 
i
mage and background B is the new image. The 
background always switches from background A to 
background B. When the transition completes, the cross-
points of the background A bus and background B bus 
interchange.
In bus fixed mode, depending on the transition, the cross-
poi
nts of the background A bus and background B bus do 
not interchange.
For details, see “Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode” 
(page 104).
Inserting and removing a key
To insert/remove a key in a transition, select a key for a 
next transition.
When a key that is not inserted in the current background 
i
mage is selected, depending on the transition, the key is 
inserted.
When a key that is inserted is selected, depending on the 
tr
ansition, the key is removed.
You can also simultaneously insert and remove keys 
when swi
tching the background.
You can also change the key overlay sequence (key 
pr
iority), depending on the transition.
