Synergy Series Operation Guide (v18) Background Transitions • 5–9
At the end of the transition, the PST video completely replaces the PGM video, and the
buses flip-flop. The following figure illustrates the MLE and monitor setup after the
dissolve.
This completes the procedure to perform a dissolve.
Please note the following important points regarding dissolves:
• If a very short auto transition rate is selected (typically five frames or less), this may
appear the same as a cut. This type of transition is often called a soft cut.
• During the dissolve, the ON AIR indicators at the end of both the PGM and PST bus
rows will be lit. This shows that both buses are contributing to the switcher output. At
the end of the dissolve, after the flip-flop, only the PGM ON AIR LED will be lit.

actions that will be included in the next transition . The section also includes two ACTIVE LEDs that
indicate the state of the associated key.
The following figures illustrate the three “next transition” buttons and LEDs — as they appear in each
location on your panel:
