Program Preset Transition
Program preset transition is an effect of switching from 
program video (base video) to preset video (video used as 
an effect), and vice versa. 
It is executed in the same method as described in “AB 
Transition” except for setting [TYPE] to [PRG/PRE] in Step 
1. The ONE WAY button is disabled because it limits the 
switching direction only from preset video to program video 
(the button flashes when pressed).
 NOTE
During program preset transition, the buses are switched to 
each other every time transition is carried out.
This state of bus switching can be checked with lighting and 
flashing of the ME PVW button.
When the buses are in the same state as the initialization, 
the ME PVW button is lighted. When transition is carried out 
once and the bus source is switched to the other, the ME PVW 
button flashes.
Keying
Keying is a combining effect of adding source video B as a 
“key” to source video A, and vice versa.
The keying methods included the basic pattern key 
( page Vol.2-5), chroma key ( page Vol.2-6) , luminance 
key ( page Vol.2-7), and title key ( page Vol.2-8).
The following diagram shows an example of the basic 
pattern key.
Keying is executed with the transition lever or AUTO TAKE 
button.

Select source video A and source video B 
( page 33).

Slide the transition lever to the A side (or B side).

Patterns registered as direct patterns ( page 23) 
can be used.

Process the selected pattern by applying 
effects including border, shadow, and trail 
( page Vol.2-3).
