Transition type You can set the way in which the transition occurs. You can select the following transition types. Transition type Mix NAM (non-additive mix) Super mix Preset color mix Wipe DME wipe Clip transition Cut Description The new image progressively fades in over the current image. The sum of the two image outputs is maintained constant, and the output of each is at 50% at the mid-point of the transition. The current image and new image are compared, and the image with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The output of each is at 100% at the mid-point of the transition. The current image output is held at 100%, and is mixed with the new image. The output at the mid-point of the transition can be 0% to 100%. A color matte (plain image) is inserted during the transition, where the current image is switched to the new image in a two-stage transition. The current image switches to the new image using a wipe pattern. The current image switches to the new image using a DME wipe pattern. Plays back frame memory video content linked to a mix or wipe transition. The current image switches instantaneously to the new image. Basic Operation for Transitions The basic transition operation flow is as follows. 1 Select a background image using the background A bus cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block. 2 Select the switch target of a transition. Select a next transition using the next transition selection buttons in the transition control block. For details about next transitions, see "Next Transitions" (page 96). 3 Set the state for after the transition executes. When switching the background, select a background image using the background B bus cross-point buttons. For details about selecting a signal, see "Chapter 4 Selecting Signals" (page 81). When inserting a key, set the key to insert. For details about setting keys, see "Chapter 6 Keys" (page 116). When changing the key overlay sequence, set the key priority. For details about key priority, see "Key Priority" (page 97). 4 Select a transition type. Select a transition type using the transition type selection buttons in the transition control block. To switch (cut) from the current image instantaneously to the new image, proceed to step 6. For details about transition types, see "Transition Type" (page 99). 5 Set the transition type. Make the required settings for the selected transition type. • Transition rate settings (see page 101) • Super mix settings (see page 100) • Preset color mix settings (see page 100) • Wipe settings (see page 149) • DME wipe settings (see page 165) • Clip transition settings (see page 173) Using transition preview mode, you can check the execution of the transition. 95
