Next transition buttons
Take the upstream keyers on or off the program output using the next transition buttons
as follows:
1
Select the elements you wish to transition using the BKGD, KEY 1, KEY 2, KEY 3 and
KEY 4 next transition buttons.
2
Verify the preview output, which will show you exactly what your program output will
look like after you perform the transition.
3
Press CUT, AUTO, or use the fader bar to perform the transition.
In order to help you understand the various ways in which multiple keys can be taken on and off
the program output, we have provided a few examples. In the examples below KEY 1 contains a
live bug on the top left of the screen while KEY 2 contains a bug at the bottom right hand side
of the screen.
Example 1:
In this example none of the upstream keyers are currently on-air. The next transition has key 1
selected, therefore the next transition will change the state of key 1 and turn it ON so that it is
visible on the program output.
Program output after transition.
Program output before transition.

Example 2:
In this example, key 1 is currently on air, indicated by the illuminated ON button. The next
transition has Key 1 selected, therefore the next transition will change the state of key 1 and turn
it OFF so that it is not visible on the program output.

Program output before transition.

Example 3:
In this example, key 1 and key 2 are on-air, indicated by the illuminated ON buttons. The next
transition has the background selected, indicated by the illuminated BKGD button, therefore the
next transition will only transition the background leaving both key 1 and key 2 on-air.
