Transitions

  Chapt

Time offset execution with the key not inserted

Selecting the transition type determines the way in which the transition occurs.
Carry out the type selection with the transition type selection buttons in the 
transition control block of each M/E or PGM/PST bank.

The following are the transition types.

This is a dissolve, in which the new video progressively fades in over the 
current video, with the sum of the two video outputs maintained constant. At 
the mid-point of the transition (when the fader lever is in the center position), 
the output of each is 50%.
This transition type can also be selected for an independent key transition. In 
this case, the key either dissolves in or dissolves out similarly, with the 
progress of the transition.
