2 Press the [AUTO TRANS] button. Manual Transitions (Fader Lever) You can switch from the current image to the new image using the fader lever on the transition control block/ transition control block (simple type). This executes a transition with the set transition type. To execute the transition completely Move the fader lever over the full range of its travel. To pause a partly executed transition Stop moving the fader lever. To resume a paused transition Resume moving the fader lever. Changing from manual transition to auto transition Stop fader lever operation and press the [CUT] button to instantaneously complete the transition. Stop the fader lever operation and press the [AUTO TRANS] button/[TAKE] button to complete the execution of the rest of the transition with the preset transition rate. For example, if the transition rate is set to 100 frames, and the fader lever has moved through 1/4 of the transition, then the remaining 3/4 of the transition is executed in 100 frames. • If the fader lever is moved in the direction away from the lit/flashing LEDs, a 100% transition is executed over the remaining part of the fader lever travel and the LEDs turn off. • Even in non-sync state, you can execute an auto transition. During auto transition execution, the transition indicator shows the transition progress in the usual way, but when the transition completes, the indicator once again indicates non-sync state. Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode Cross-points can be switched by a transition in flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode. For details about setting flip-flop mode/bus fixed mode, see "Setting Flip-Flop Mode" (page 394). Fader lever Lit buttons Fader Lever Operation Non-sync If the fader lever is stopped in an intermediate position and an auto transition is executed, then the fader lever position will not match the current position of the transition when the transition is completed. This is termed non-sync state. You can check for non-sync state by whether the top and bottom LEDs of the transition indicator are lit or flashing. For details about LED light/flashing settings, see "Setting the transition indicator display in non-sync state" (page 418). Non-sync state and LED display • If a non-sync state occurs after moving the fader lever from top to bottom, the top two LEDs light/flash. • If a non-sync state occurs after moving the fader lever from bottom to top, the bottom two LEDs light/flash. • Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit/ flashing LEDs does not execute a transition. When the fader lever reaches the end position, the non-sync state is released and the LEDs turn off. Flip-flop mode Bus fixed mode Flip-flop mode The signal selected on the background A bus is the current image, and the signal selected on the background B bus is the new image. The background always switches from background A to background B. When the transition completes, the cross-points of the background A bus and background B bus interchange. 104
