transition 
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). 
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 
overpowers the other 
signal. 
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%. 
The current video is 
replaced by the new 
video in a two-stage 
transition, with a color 
matte (unpatterned 
display) inserted during 
the first stage. 
The current video is 
replaced by the new 
video according to a 
predetermined  wipe 
pattern. 
Using an image 
transformation effect, 
the current video is 
replaced by the new 
video as in a wipe.

Transitions 
 
When you select a signal in the background A row or 2nd 
 
   
row of a switcher bank, and the bank and signal are linked
 
to an audio mixer, then the program output of the audio
 
mixer will switch along with the signal selection.

 Notes  
•
 
For details about audio mixers that can be connected,
 
contact your Sony service or sales representative. 
•
 
When the signal is switched via a snapshot, keyframe, or
 
similar means, the audio mixer will not be linked. 
•
 
When bus fixed mode is selected in the Setup menu
 
(
1 
p. 73), the audio mixer program output is linked to
 
the bus output as the background. 
 
 
Signal Name Display 
You can attach a name (source name) to each signal
 
assigned to a cross-point button, with a maximum of 16
 
characters. 
•
 
The source name displays in the cross-point control
 
block show the source names of the video signals
 
assigned to numbers 1 to 23 (or 1 to 15). 
•
 
To display the source names for numbers 24 to 46 (or 16
 
to 30), press the following [SHIFT] button. 
ICP-6520/6530: [SHIFT] button on the right of the
 
source name display. 
ICP-3000/3016: [SHIFT] button assigned to the 1st row. 
 
Colors of lit cross-point buttons 
In a particular row of cross-point buttons, only the last
 
pressed button is effective, and lights amber or red. The
 
amber indicates the “low tally” state, and the red indicates
 
the “high tally” state, to indicate whether or not the
 
selected signal appears in the final output video.
