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 group. 3 Set the transition rate. Notes • 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. No. Parameter Adjustment 1 Transition Transition rate 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 189). 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. PTN LIMIT button LIMIT SET button TRANS PVW button 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 410). Note 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. Notes • 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). 93
