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
tran
sitions occur, depending on the execution limit
settings.
• When the execution limit is set to 50%, the result at the
co
mpletion 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%,
the image
is not switched even when the transition is
executed.
• When the execution limit is set to the maximum of
100%, t
he 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, or the menu.
• When the operation mode of the switcher bank is set to
mu
lti 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
li
mits must be assigned to the transition control block/
transition control block (simple type) beforehand.
For details about assign
ing buttons, see “Assigning
Control Panel Buttons” (page 397).
