Fade-to-Black
The fade-to-black allows you to gradually fade the image on the preview
monitor (the background image) until it is completely black.
To carry out a fade-to-black
Press the FADE TO BLACK button in the fade-to-black/downstream key
section.
During the transition, the FADE TO BLACK button lights amber, and
when the transition completes (when the image is completely black), lights
red.
To end a fade-to-black
When the FADE TO BLACK button is lit red (the screen is black), press
the FADE TO BLACK button. The output gradually changes from black to
the image selected on the BACKGROUND bus buttons.

execution
During the transition (while the FADE TO BLACK button is lit amber),
press the FADE TO BLACK button.
This immediately reverses the direction of the transition.
