Cut Press button Cut if you wish to execute a hard cut transition .
Auto Press button Auto to execute a transition at the selected Trans Dur rate. During
the transition, the button lights up and the selected transition duration time runs
down in the associated display.
The transition can be completed prematurely by pressing Cut.
It is also possible to stop the automatic transition by pressing Auto again and then
continue by pressing it once more. It can also be finished manually with the fader.
Trans dur The Trans duration function permits setting a transition duration between 1 and
9999 frames.
Adjusting the time:
D
Press Trans dur. The Trans dur button and the buttons of the numeric keypad
in the TiM/E Memo
t
panel will light up and prompt the entry of the transition
duration.
D
Enter the desired transition duration with the numeric keypad.
The entry can be verified in the display. Errors can be deleted by pressing Clr.
D
Confirm the entry with Enter NEXT or press Trans dur again.
D
If Trans dur was pressed accidentally, press it again to disable the function.
Trans PVW Trans PVW permits an optional preview of the transition on the preview monitor
without affecting the output picture.
Button Trans PVW will light up when activated. All current settings are stored and
are automatically restored when you leave the Transition PVW mode.
It is now possible to select other transition types, to deselect picture components
and to execute the transitions with Cut or Auto or manually with the fader.
Note: Please note that the Trans PVW mode can only be enabled or dis-
abled when the transition is finished, i.e. when an automatic transition
has been completed or the fader is in final position.
If another background picture is to be transmitted to the output while Trans PVW
is enabled, this can be made by direct selection on the bus which is identified by
On Air. This will result in a hard cut to another background picture.
Limit set, Limit on The Limit set and Limit on buttons serve to create reproducible partial transitions.
This mode is possible with all types of transitions.
Limit set permits storing the desired value set with the fader.
Limit on enables the mode. Any transition with Cut or Auto and any manual transi-
tion with the fader is only executed up to the value previously defined with Limit
set.
If the transition is made with the fader, the yellow arrow to the left of the fader does
not change the direction when the fader is moved to a final position, thus indicating
that the transition is not completed.
If Limit on is switched off at the point defined by Limit set, a jerk-free transition to
the next contribution can be made with the fader. The remaining fader path is then
stretched to the full fader path.
