Fade-to-Black
This function gradually darkens the program output video 
of the PGM/PST bank, eventually cutting it to black.
In multi-program mode or DSK mode, fade-to-black is 
executed for a number of programs simultaneously.
You can also set fade-to-black so that is not applied to 
particular programs in the Setup menu.
For details, see “Enabling/Disabling the Fade-to-Black 
Function” (page 468).
To execute fade-to-black, the “Fade To Black” utility 
command must be assigned to the following buttons 
beforehand in the Setup menu.
• Cross-point buttons on the cross-point control block in 
utility/shotbox mode
• Memory recall buttons in the utility/shotbox control 
block
• User preference buttons in the menu panel
This section describes operation using a memory recall 
button ([FTB] button) in the utility/shotbox control block 
assigned with the “Fade To Black” utility command.
Executing fade-to-black
Press the [FTB] button in the utility/shotbox control block 
to execute fade-to-block at the preset transition rate.
During the transition execution, the [FTB] button is lit 
light purple. When the transition is completed (screen is 
black), the [FTB] button color changes to red.

AUX Mix Transitions
In addition to M/E and PGM/PST, you can make 
transitions between two AUX buses.
Preparing an AUX mix transition
The following preparations are required.
a) In 4K format, the following combination of output connectors can be used 
in an AUX mix.
XVS-9000:
- For 3840×2160P 2SI and 3840×2160P SQD, pairs of odd-numbered 
output connectors starting from 1 (1 and 3, 5 and 7, 9 and 11, and so on)
- For 3840×2160PsF SQD, pairs of groups of four output connectors per 
group starting from 1 (1 to 4 and 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and 13 to 16, 17 to 20 
and 21 to 24, and so on)
XVS-8000/7000/6000:
- 1 to 4 and 5 to 8
- 13 to 16 and 17 to 20
- 25 to 28 and 29 to 32 (XVS-8000/7000 only)
- 37 to 40 and 41 to 44 (XVS-8000/7000 only)
Executing an AUX mix transition
Use the [AUX MIX] button in the cross-point pad on the 
following control blocks to execute a transition.
• AUX bus control block (AUX bus operation mode)
• Cross-point control block in key/AUX bus delegation 
mode
• Cross-point control block in free assign mode
This section describes the use of the AUX1 and AUX2 
buses in the AUX bus control block as an example.
