When the transition is completed, the [PTN LIMIT]
button turns off, and the pattern limit is released.
Depending on the transition execution method, the
action will be as follows.
• When you press the [CUT] button, the pattern limit
is immediately released, and the video switches
instantaneously.
• When you press the [AUTO TRANS] button (or
[TAKE] button), until the next transition state, the
transition is executed over the duration given by the
transition rate.
• When you move the fader lever, the transition is
executed from the pattern limit state to the state
before the pattern limit was executed.
Moving the fader lever even a little synchronizes the
fader lever position with the transition state, and you
can move the fader lever either in the forward
direction or in the reverse direction.
Depending on the Setup menu settings, the transition
is executed at the instant you press the [PTN LIMIT]
button, turning the button off. In this case, execution
continues for the time specified by the independent
transition rate in the menu, up to the next transition
state.
