• 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 376).
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 91).
2 Press the [LIMIT SET] button.
This sets the current fader lever position as the pattern
limit.
