Transitions
In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, the switch from the current video stream 
(appearing on the corresponding program monitor) to a new video stream is 
referred to as a transition.
Selecting the Next Transition
To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how the image will be 
changed as a result of the transition. This selection is carried out using the next 
transition selection buttons (see page 261) in the transition control block of 
each M/E or PGM/PST bank.
In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can change one of the images, the 
background, and keys 1 to 4 (downstream keys 1 to 4 in the PGM/PST bank), 
and also vary combinations of these simultaneously.
The following are examples of transition.
Changing the background
A background transition switches from the video currently selected on the 
background A bus (the current video) to the video selected on the background 
B bus (the new video).
In the default selection of flip-flop mode (see page 45), the background always 
switches in the direction from the A bus to the B bus. When the transition 
completes, the cross-point selections on the A and B buses are interchanged.
