Stopping A Fade Or Cut
You can prevent a camera from bumping into an obstacle using the STOP button. Or, if a camera is
partway through a slow fade to a shot that you no longer want to use, the STOP button will halt the
movement so that you can select a different shot. You can select either a profiled (smooth) Stop that
is acceptable for on-air use or an abrupt Stop that generally would not be used on-air (see Panel
options - Always stop fast on page 58).
1.
Make sure that the red thumbnail is the camera that you want to stop.
2.
Select STOP on the touch-screen or the joystick control panel to stop the movement of the pedestal
and/or head. The selected shot will change from red to grey.

Now you can select a the same shot or a different shot and FADE or CUT to it.

Select a shot on camera #1 and its thumbnail will turn green.

Select FADE on the touch-screen or the control panel and immediately pull the Fade Time bar
towards you to decrease the fade time and speed up the movement.
3.
The fade timer in the shot thumbnail will indicate the progress towards the new time for the shot.
4.
Push the Fade Time bar away from you to increase the fade time and slow down the movement.
Edit menu
The Edit menu provides options that let you rename shots, modify the fade time, delete shots, resave
a shot or swap shot positions on the grid. The RETURN option can be used to cancel out of the Edit
menu, returning to the workspace and displaying the Camera Selection and Status bar.
NOTE:
If the selected shot cannot be reached within the time stored in the
shot, the camera will move at its maximum speed.
