Using Manual Transitions
Use the following procedure to perform a manual transition:
1. Check that your program/preview monitoring is set as needed for the selected MLE.
Refer to the section “ Using the Preview Bus ” on page 4–33 for details.
2. Select an input on the MLE’s PGM bus.
3. Select a different input on the MLE’s PST bus.
4. In the Next Transition Section , select
BKGD
as the next transition.
5. In the Transition Parameter Section , select the desired transition type —
DISS
or
WIPE
.
6. Move the Fader from its current limit to the opposite limit. The speed at which you
move the Fader determines the manual transition rate.
Remember that during a transition, the two LED indicators (
Up
arrow,
Down
arrow) show the
direction of Fader travel — specifically, the direction that the Fader must be moved in order to
complete the transition.
Refer to the section “ Performing a DVE Send Transition ” for complete details on using DVE Send
transitions.
Using Cuts
A “background cut” is an instant switch between the PGM and PST buses (in the Program/Preset
Transition group), or between the BKGD and PST buses (in the MLE Transition group).
Use the following procedure to perform a cut:
1. Check that your program/preview monitoring is set as needed for the selected MLE.
2. Select an input on the MLE’s PGM bus.
3. Select a different input on the MLE’s PST bus.
4. In the Next Transition Section , select BKGD as the next transition.
The following figure illustrates a sample MLE setup and the associated monitor outputs
— before the cut.
Note
You can also perform a background cut simply by switching inputs on
the
PGM bus itself. This type of cut does not allow you to preview the
next picture.
