Executing a Transition
Chapter 3 Signal Selection and Transitions
Executing an Auto Transition
The following two modes can be used for auto transition.
Cut
A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video. When
the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously.
Auto transition
The transition from the current video to the new video is carried out
automatically at a constant rate, using the transition effect selected as the
transition type.
You can set the transition rate in advance. (See “Setting the Transition Rate”
(page 120).)
Transition control block
To execute a transition on the M/E or PGM/PST bank by a button operation,
use the following procedure in the transition control block.
To carry out an instantaneous cut transition: Press the [CUT] button.
To carry out a gradual transition: Press the [AUTO TRANS] button.
This executes the transition at the preset transition rate (see page 120).
While the transition is executing, the [AUTO TRANS] button lights
amber. When it completes the button goes off.
To complete a partially executed transition instantaneously: Press the
[CUT] button.
The [AUTO TRANS] button goes off.
