rëáåÖ=_ä~Åâ
The BLACK button is used to transition the system’s output to/from black, no matter what
combination of sources are currently on Program. For example:
•
If a single source is on Program (e.g., Input 1 ), the system will mix to black at the
current transition rate.
•
If multiple sources are on Program (e.g., Input 1 + Key ), the system will mix all
sources to Black at the current transition rate.
When BLACK is pressed, one of two different actions can occur, depending on how the
“ Black Auto Take ” function is set in the User Preference Menu .
•
Black Auto Take Off
•
Black Auto Take On

pending.
2. Press TAKE . The system transitions to/from black, at the current transition rate.

Note Refer to the “ User Preference ” section on page 70 for details
on setting parameters in the User Preference Menu .
Important When the Black Auto Take function is OFF , if a source is
pending when TAKE is pressed, that source transitions to
Program after black is fully reached, and sources flip-flop in
the normal manner. If you do not want to transition to a new
source, simply press the blinking source to “un-pend” it.
