3) Next Transition Group
The three buttons in the Next Transition Group indicate which combination of
layers is armed for the next transition. The state of these buttons affects the M/E’s
“lookahead” preview output.
Figure 3-15. Next Transition Group
To use the group, simultaneously press the combination of buttons that you wish
to arm. Any combination can be pressed. Whichever combination you enable
automatically disables those buttons that were not pressed.
For example:
S If BG, KEY 1 and KEY 2 are lit, pressing BG turns the BG button
on, and turns off the KEY 1 and KEY 2 buttons.
S If KEY 1 is lit, simultaneously pressing BG and KEY 2 turns the BG
and KEY 2 buttons on, and KEY 1 off.
Following are descriptions of each button in the Next Transition Group:
~ Enable BG to arm the background layer for a transition.
• When BG is on, the selected PST source appears in the M/E’s
preview monitor output. When the transition is performed, the
PST source flips to BG.
• When BG is off, the selected PST source does not appear in
the M/E preview output. The current BG source is held during
the next transition — even if a different PST source is selected.
~ Enable KEY 1 to arm one of the following transitions:
• When armed in conjunction with MIX or WIPE, you can
transition the KEY 1 layer. The red LED above the button lights
when the key is on.
• When armed in conjunction with FX TRIG, you can trigger a
two-keyframe DVE effect. A DVE channel must be assigned to
KEY 1 and a two-keyframe DVE effect must be loaded.
• When armed in conjunction with MIX and FX TRIG, you can
mix KEY 1 and simultaneously trigger a DVE effect.
• When armed in conjunction with WIPE and FX TRIG, you can
wipe KEY 1 and simultaneously trigger a DVE effect.
Please note the following important points regarding KEY 1 transitions:
•If KEY 1 is off and you enable it, the next transition turns the
key on. The key source appears in the M/E’s preview output.
•If KEY 1 is on and you enable it, the next transition turns the
key off. The key is removed from preview — showing the M/E’s
next look.
• Press and hold KEY 1 to display the Key Menu, with Key 1
highlighted.
•If KEY 1 is off, the layer will not transition. If the key is currently
off, it stays off. If the key is currently on, it holds.
•If KEY 1 and KEY 2 are off, you cannot enable FX TRIG.
