To enter a difference value
To set the transition rate by specifying a difference value 
from the current value, press the [+/−] button, enter the 
difference value, and press the [TRIM] button. Each time 
you press the [+/−] button, it toggles between plus (+) and 
minus (–).
Setting the transition rate (menu)
This section describes setting the transition rate on the 
M/E-1 bank as an example.
1
Open the M/E-1 >Misc >Transition menu (1171).
2
Select the transition type in the <Transition Type> 
group.
3
Set the transition rate.
To display the transition rates in list view and 
change the settings
You can display the transition rate, independent key 
transition rate, and fade-to-black transition rate for each 
bank, and change the settings (see page 190).
Pattern Limit
When a wipe or DME wipe is selected as the transition 
pattern, you can specify the transition execution limits for 
each bank independently.
When the pattern limit function is enabled, the following 
effects occur, depending on the execution limit settings.
• When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end 
of the transition is the same as when the fader lever is at 
the center position with the pattern limit function 
disabled; namely, the video is not completely switched.
• When the limit value is set to the minimum of 0%, the 
video is not switched even when the transition is 
executed.
• When the limit value is set to the maximum of 100%, the 
image changes in the same way as when the pattern limit 
function is off, but when the transition is completed, the 
cross-point selections on the background A and B buses 
do not interchange.
There are two ways of setting a pattern limit: either by 
operating the fader lever to save the fader position, or by 
using the Wipe >Edge/Direction menu or DME Wipe 
>Edge/Direction menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
• A pattern limit only applies when a wipe or DME wipe 
is selected as the transition type.
• In multi-program mode, pattern limits can be used only 
when the background transition type is a wipe or DME 
wipe. If a key is selected for the next transition, the 
pattern limit settings are reflected in the wipe or DME 
wipe selected for the background transition type.
Transition control block
To perform pattern limit operations, the [PTN LIMIT] and 
[LIMIT SET] buttons must be assigned to buttons in the 
transition control block beforehand in the Setup menu (see 
page 411).
The [PTN LIMIT] and [LIMIT SET] buttons are set on the 
transition control block (simple type) by default. Also, 
transition preview and cut operations are not supported.
Setting the pattern limit with the fader 
lever
1
Move the fader lever to the position corresponding to 
a particular pattern size.
• First make sure that the [PTN LIMIT] button is off.
• To adjust while monitoring the video on the preview 
monitor, first press the [TRANS PVW] button to 
select transition preview mode (see page 98).
