Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode
The following describes the difference between flip-flop
mode and bus fixed mode, taking an M/E bank as an
example; the functionality is the same, however, on the
PGM/PST bank.
Normally, when a background transition is carried out on
the M/E bank, the signals selected on the A and B rows of
cross-point buttons are interchanged at the end of the
transition. That is to say, except during a transition, the
background output is always from the background A bus.
This is called “flip-flop mode.”
The alternative is known as “bus fixed mode,” in which
there is no bus interchange. In this mode, when the fader
lever is at the top of its travel the output from the A bus is
always 100%, and when the fader lever is at the bottom of
its travel the output from the B bus is 100%.

Setting a Preset Color Mix
In a normal preset color mix, in the first transition, a single
color matte is gradually mixed into the current image, and
in the second transition the new image is gradually mixed
into the color matte. In the preset color mix settings, if you
select “one-stroke mode,” these two operations are
combined into a single transition operation.
With the “one-time mode” enabled, when a preset color
mix is completed, the transition type always returns to the
immediately previous setting. To set a preset color mix,
use the following procedure.
