Performing Transitions
The iMC-Panel-100 is a master control panel that sets up and initiates program transitions in an
Imagestore 750. The Imagestore 750 executes the transitions.
Setting up a transition is the primary task of the panel operator. Automation can also set up and
initiate transitions but that is of little concern to panel operators, except that operators may
inhibit or enable automation and must generally avoid interfering with automated transitions.
Most transition operations involve selecting a source on the preset bus, selecting a transition
type and rate, and transitioning the source to program. Some transitions involve applied video
effects and voice-overs.
Basic Transition
Follow these steps to perform a basic transition:
1 Select the desired source on preset.
2 (Optionally) select or deselect the desired video effects and voice-overs on preset.
Use the menus to choose, and possibly modify, video effect settings.
3 (Optionally) select the desired transition type: cut, V-fade, cross-fade, PB cut-fade, or another.
Select the desired transition rate: slow, medium, or fast.
4 Press the transition button. At the end of the transition period, the selections on the preset
bus will appear on the program bus. During the transition, the preset sources and program
sources will combine according to the transition type and rate.
Please note:
• You can “hot cut” to a new source directly on the program bus at any time, simply by press-
ing the desired source on the program bus. Hot cuts are not recommended.
• Once a transition is initiated, it cannot be stopped, except by (hot) cutting to a different
source directly on the program bus during the transition period.
• Automation also initiates transitions.
Transition Options
The Imagestore 750 has several configuration options that affect how transitions occur and how
the preset buttons and program buttons function.
Some of the differences in behavior are subtle.
The options are identified here by their names in the configuration software. (Some of those
names are cryptic.) These are the options:
• ‘Cut All from Air on Hot PGM Switch’
This option can be enabled or disabled.
When it is enabled, performing a hot cut on the program bus causes all effects (DVEs, XG
keyer layers, DSKs, and voice-overs) to be removed (cut down) from the program bus.
