Pattern Limit
When a wipe or DME wipe is selected as the transition
type, you can specify the transition execution limit.
When the pattern limit function is enabled, the following
t
ransitions occur, depending on the execution limit
settings.
• When the execution limit is set to 50%, the result at the
c
ompletion of the transition is the same as if the fader
lever is at the center position with the pattern limit
function disabled.
• When the execution limit is set to the minimum of 0%,
t
he image is not switched even when the transition is
executed.
• When the execution limit is set to the maximum of
10
0%, the image changes in the same way as if the
pattern limit function is disabled, but when the
transition is completed, the cross-points on the
background A bus and B bus do not interchange.
The pattern limit is configured using the transition control
bl
ock, simple-type transition type control block, or the
menu.
• When the operation mode of the switcher bank is set to
mul
ti program mode, pattern limits can be set only
when the background transition type is a wipe or DME
wipe. If a key is selected for a next transition, the
pattern limit settings are reflected in the wipe or DME
wipe selected for the background transition type.
• The buttons used for configuring and executing pattern
lim
its must be assigned to the transition control block/
transition control block (simple type) beforehand.
For details about assigning buttons, see “Assigning
Control Panel Buttons” (page 402).
