Executing a Transition

   Chapt

To carry out the transition completely: Move the lever over the full range of 

its travel.

To pause a partly executed transition: Stop moving the fader lever.
To resume a paused transition: Resume moving the fader lever.

Using the [AUTO TRANS] button, the [CUT] button, and the fader lever, use 
the following procedures.

During an auto transition started by pressing the [AUTO TRANS] button, 
operating the fader lever immediately enables the fader lever, and the [AUTO 
TRANS] button goes off. Thereafter, the fader lever controls the progress of 
the transition.

• Press the [CUT] button to instantaneously complete the transition.
• Press the [AUTO TRANS] button to complete the rest of the transition at the 

preset transition rate.
If the transition rate is set to 100 frames, and the fader lever has moved 
through 

1

/

4

 of the transition, then the remaining 

3

/

4

 of the transition is carried 

out in 100 frames.

If the fader lever is in an intermediate position when a transition is completed 
as an auto transition, then the lever position no longer agrees with the transition 
state. This is termed a non-sync state.
In a non-sync state, two lit LEDs indicate the position from which a normal 
transition can be carried out. This is either at one end position or both end 
positions of the fader lever travel.
Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit LEDs does not carry out a 
transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state 
is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
