WhiteFlash
Perform a two-step transition where a dissolve
to and from white, or other selected color, is
performed in the middle of the transition. The
video signal on the Background bus is
transitioned to a Color Background of the
selected WhiteFlash color. The Color
Background is then transitioned to the Preset
bus. WhiteFlash consumes a pattern generator
for the transition.
Each ME has a separate WhiteFlash generator.
To Set Up a WhiteFlash Transition
A WhiteFlash transition is performed just like
a normal dissolve except that you must set the
color for the flash and the rates for the onset,
hold, and fade.

Double-press
DISS

Tip:
On the WhiteFlash Setup menu, you can select a
different ME to set up WhiteFlash for.
The
DISS
button flashes, indicating a
WhiteFlash transition has been selected.

the color you want to use.
3.
Press
ME Rate
to use the ME rate for the
transition (

Yes
— use the ME Rate as the transition
rate for the WhiteFlash. The Onset, Hold,
and Fade rates represent proportional
values of the total ME Rate.
•
No
— use the value (in frames) of the
Onset, Hold, and Fade rates for each part
of the WhiteFlash. The ME Rate is not
used for this transition.
4.
If
ME Rate
is set to
No
, press
Timing
Settings
and use the
Onset
,
Hold
, and
Fade
knobs to set those parts of the transition.
•
Onset

WhiteFlash color.
•
Hold
— length of time that the
WhiteFlash color is held.

preset video source.

Transition Preview
You can preview a complete dissolve, wipe, or
DVE wipe transition on the Preview output of
the switcher instead of performing a standard
transition on the Program output. The transition
is performed on the Preview output.
Note:
A transition preview only previews the transition. When
the transition is complete, the output returns to what it looked
like before the transition. If the transition rate is too low, you
may not be able to see the transition before it cuts back.
To Perform a Transition Preview
1.
Set up the transition you want to preview.
2.
Press and hold transition type button for the
transition you are performing (
DISS
,
WIPE
,
DVE
) on the transition module.
The button will turn blue and the preview
output will change to look the same as the
program output.
3.
Perform the transition you want to preview.
Key Priority Transitions
Key Over transitions allow you to change the
priority, or order, that keys are displayed for an
ME. This can be between keyers that are on-air,
or keyers that are not on-air.
On-air key over transitions are performed by
using the
KEY PRIOR
button on the Transition
module. This allows you to set up the new
priority, or order, for each of the keyers and
then perform a transition to change the keyer
priority.
To Perform a Key Priority Transition
Note:
Key Priority transition can only be performed between
keyers that are in the same state. For example, to change the
priority of key 1 and key 3, both keyers must be on-air, or off-air,
for the ME.
1.
Press
KEY PRIOR
on the Transition module
for the ME that you want to change the
priority of the keys for.
