Transitions
Overview
On each switcher bank (M/E and PGM/PST) the
background can be combined with one or more keys (1 to
8) to execute a transition.
For 4K format, two keys (key 1 and key 2) can be used on
each switcher bank.
Changing the background
A background transition switches from the video selected
on the background A bus (the current video) to the video
selected on the background B bus (the new video).
In the default selection of flip-flop mode (see page 90), the
background always switches in the direction A bus t B
bus. When the transition completes, the cross-point
selections on the A and B buses are interchanged.
Inserting and removing a key
This inserts a key in the current video. If you select a key
which is already inserted, the transition will remove the
key.
A simultaneous combination of inserting and removing
keys is also possible.
Combining a background and key
You can simultaneously insert and remove keys when
switching the background.
