Basic Oper
ation
 NOTE
If the AUDIO FOLLOW VIDEO button has been pressed to turn 
on to interlock the audio faders with the transition lever or the 
audio level of input source 5 to 8 has been adjusted with the 
SHIFT key pressed, the audio fader settings may not match the 
actual audio level.
In such a case, the audio level is adjusted as follows according 
to the operation of the audio faders:
When the audio fader is moved in the direction in which a 
difference with the actual audio level decreases, the audio 
level does not change until the fader position matches the 
actual audio level.
When the audio fader is moved in the direction in which a 
difference with the actual audio level increases, the audio 
level changes according to the fader position.
The audio level adjusted by the MASTER fader changes 
according to the fader position.
AB Transition
AB transition is an effect of switching from source video A 
to source video B, and vice versa.
There are two methods of video switching: “wipe” and 
“mix.”
Transition wipe
• 
 
Source video B (or A) appears by wiping out source 
video A (or B).
Transition mix 
• 
Source video B (or A) appears by overlapping source 
video A (or B).
The following diagram shows an example of transition wipe.
Transition is executed with the transition lever or the AUTO 
TAKE button.
1
 
Set [TYPE] to [AB] in the [BUS] submenu of the 
[SETUP] menu ( page 27).
2
 
Select source video A and source video B 
( page 33).
3
 
Slide the transition lever to the A side (or B 
side).
4
 
Select the transition pattern to use (
 “To select 
a pattern” on page 35).
Patterns registered as direct patterns ( page 23) 
can be used.
5
 
Process the selected pattern by applying 
effects including border, shadow, and trail 
( page Vol.2-3).
6
 
Set the pattern position (transition start 
position) using the joystick.
Press the CENTER button to turn on, and the pattern 
position is set to the center. 
Press the HOLD button to turn on, and the joystick is 
fixed to the current position.
NOTE
There are some patterns for which the position 
cannot be adjusted with the joystick.  
 For more information, refer to “List of Transition 
Patterns” at the back of Volume 2.
For the patterns registered as direct patterns, the 
settings of the effects or position applied to each 
pattern are saved in memory and applied when the 
pattern is called next time (if [MODE] in the [SETUP] 
menu is set to [PRESET]). Any settings made for the 
patterns not registered as direct patterns are not 
saved in memory.
7
 
Set the transition time (from switching start to 
end) ( “To set the transition time” on page 35).
8
 
Slide the transition lever to the B side (or A 
side) or press the AUTO TAKE button. 
When the AUTO TAKE button is pressed, it is lighted 
and the source video switching is automatically 
executed (auto transition) from A to B (or B to A).
To temporarily stop auto transition
Press the AUTO TAKE button again. 
This button flashes and the video switching is paused. 
When the button is pressed again, it is lighted and the 
switching is resumed.
To limit the transition to one direction
When the ONE WAY button is pressed to turn on in the 
PATTERN area, the transition goes in the same direction 
regardless of the direction in which the transition lever is 
moved. (No transition is reversed.)
However, if a transition pattern which is not reversed 
intrinsically is selected, the ONE WAY button flashes when 
it is pressed.
To synchronize the audio faders to the 
transition lever
Press the AUDIO FOLLOW VIDEO button to turn on.
