Effects
The effects generator controls the way the insert bus is combined with the preview or
program bus picture. The three basic ways that the pictures can be combined are mix,
wipe, and key. Also, combinations of these effects are possible.
MIX
To mix to the insert picture, press MIX to illuminate it and use the lever
as a mix control lever.
WIPE
When the WIPE button is pressed, the MIX button goes out and the
lever wipes in the selected pattern. If the mix lever was in an
intermediate position, that level of mix remains on the screen as the wipe
progresses. The mix button will flash indicating that the mix action was
not completed.
KEY
Activates the key function. The keyer is independent of the mix/wipe
function. A key is revealed by a wipe or faded in by a mix. The key
transition rate is set by the RATE button (see RATES in the section
“Buttons under the display”).
