Setting the transition preview mode

To select the transition preview mode, in the <Transition Preview> group of the Transition menu, select any of the following.

One Time: The transition preview ends after a single transition.

Normal: Switching the [TRANS PVW] button on or off switches between the transition preview mode and the normal transition mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Selecting the transition mode of the independent key transition control block

 

Same: The transition settings for the On and Off directions are the same.

 

 

 

Independ: The transition settings for the On and Off directions can be set separately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Selecting the background transition flip-flop mode

In the Transition menu, press [Bus Toggle], to switch between on and off.

On: Flip-flop mode

Off: Bus fixed mode

Split Fader: When the bus toggle is off, the split fader settings are enabled. For each of the M/E and P/P banks, select enable or disable.

In the bus fixed mode there is a fixed relationship between the position of the fader lever and the signal output on each bus. Depending on the direction of the transition, the fader lever must therefore always be moved in a particular direction, as shown in the following table. This does not affect an auto transition, which is executed regardless of the fader lever direction.

Next transition Transition direction  Fader lever movement
Background A --> B Downward
B --> A Upward
Keys 1, 2, 3, and 4 On --> Off (deletion) Downward
Off --> On (insertion)  Upward

 When a transition applies to a combination of more than one of the background and keys 1, 2, 3, and 4, then the transition for all of these must be in the same direction complying with the above table.

If as a result of an auto transition, for example, the fader lever position does not agree with the signal output, this is a non-sync state and LEDs light at both end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader lever does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition. If the fader lever is moved in the direction away from the lit LEDs, this carries out the next transition, over the remaining part of the fader lever travel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting the split fader to be enabled or disabled

Press [Split Fader] to switch between Enable and Disable. This setting is only valid when using a simple transition module with Bus Toggle set to Off. (Japanese market only)

 

Enable: When the fader lever is split, the split fader effect is enabled.

Disable: Even when the fader lever is split, the normal fader lever effect is obtained.

 

 

 

 

 

Enabling or disabling the fade-to-black function

In the <FTB> group of the Transition menu, press the program output name to toggle between On and Off.

On: When the [FTB] button is pressed, a fade-to-black is carried out.

Off: Even when the [FTB] button is pressed, no fade-to-black is carried out.

The PGM2 to PGM4 settings are only valid in Multi Program mode or DSK mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting a preset color mix

 

The status area shows the stroke mode setting for each M/E bank, the setting for whether or not the key status is maintained, and the one-time mode setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the <Stroke Mode> group, select whether to carry out a transition in one stroke or two strokes.

Normal: Carry out a preset color mix with two transition operations.

Single: Carry out a preset color mix with a single transition operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the <Non Drop Key> group, select the key setting for a transition including a key.

To carry out the transition with the key state maintained, press [Key1] to [Key4], turning them on.

In non drop mode the key remains visible even if the background has changed to color matte.

In drop mode the key passes the same transition as the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If each time a transition ends the transition type is to return to the previous setting, press [One Time Enable].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Settings relating to fader lever operations

To select the way in which the fader lever position and the transition progress are related, use the following procedure.

 

Normal: The transition progress is linear, according to the fader lever position. (Factory default setting)

 

Adv Tally Mode: When the fader lever is moved from the end of its travel, the tally is output slightly before the transition starts.
