Transition Options
Basic Transition
Follow these steps to perform a basic transition:
1 Select the desired source on preset.
2 (Optionally) select or deselect the desired video effects and voice-overs on preset.
3 Use the menus to choose, and possibly modify, video effect settings.
4 (Optional) Select the desired transition type: cut, V-fade, cross-fade, PB cut-fade, or another.
Select the desired transition rate: slow, medium, or fast.
5 Press the transition button. At the end of the transition period, the selections on the preset
bus will appear on the program bus. During the transition, the preset sources and program
sources will combine according to the transition type and rate.
Please note:
•
You can “hot cut” to a new source directly on the program bus at any time , simply by press-
ing the desired source on the program bus. Hot cuts are not recommended.
• Once a transition is initiated, it cannot be stopped, except by (hot) cutting to a different
source directly on the program bus during the transition period.
•
Automation also initiates transitions.
Transition Options
The Imagestore 750 has several configuration options that affect how transitions occur and how
the preset buttons and program buttons function.
Some of the differences in behavior are subtle.
The options are identified here by their names in the configuration software. (Some of those
names are cryptic.) These are the options:
•
‘Cut All from Air on Hot PGM Switch’
This option can be enabled or disabled.
When it is enabled, performing a hot cut on the program bus causes all effects (DVEs, XG
keyer layers, DSKs, and voice-overs) to be removed (cut down) from the program bus.
When this option is disabled, a hot cut does not change the effects present on the program
bus.
•
‘Re-arm mix on PST bus source change.’
This option can be enabled or disabled.
When it is enabled, selecting a source on the preset bus that is different from the source
selected on the program bus causes the most recently selected transition type to become
selected. (It does not matter why you selected that transition type
— the option uses the
most recently selected transition type .) Further, if you select a source on the preset bus that is
the same as the source on the program bus, all transition types becomes de-selected.
When this option is disabled, selecting a source on the preset bus has no effect on whatever
transition type is selected or not selected.
• ‘Preview Select’
Normally, this option presents the preset bus at the preset output. (Within the configuration
software, this output is called either preview or preset.)
