Keep the following in mind when performing
MediaWipe:
•
Although you can select a still image for a media
transition, it is not recommended.
•
Only Auto Transition should be used for Media
transitions. Using the fader to perform the transition
manually could result in jumps in the animation.
•
The duration of the transition (Time) is set by the
length of the animation and the play speed of the
animation.
•
The audio associated with a MediaWipe is only
available on the MultiViewer output.
To Set Up a MediaWipe
A MediaWipe requires that you select the animation you
want to use. How the animation plays and appears during
the transition is stored in the animation. Refer to
on page 49 for information animations.

Transition Limits
The Transition Limit allows you to set the point in a
transition where an auto transition stops. When active,
the point in the transition where the auto transition will
stop is indicated by a flashing segment on the transition
progress bar next to the fader handle. The auto transition
proceeds to this point and stops. The second auto
transition starts from the transition limit point and goes
back to where the first transition started.
Tip:
If you turn Limit off when the transition has stopped at the
transition limit point, the next transition starts from the transition
limit point and goes forward to complete the transition, instead
of going back to the start.
To Set Up a Transition Limit
A transition limit is set using the fader of the ME that
you want to set up the transition limit on. The transition
limit is specific to the ME it is set on.
1.
Set up the transition you want to perform.
2.
Press
NEXT
until
Limit
is shown on the menu.
Tip:
You can use the same procedure for a MiniME
™
or MultiScreen.
3.
Move the fader to the position in the transition
where you want to set the transition limit point.
4.
Toggle the
Limit
knob (
On
) to set the transition
limit point.
The segment on the transition progress bar next
to the fader handle flashes, indicating the location
of the transition limit point.
The transition limit is set and active for the ME you set
it on. You can turn transition limit on and off by toggling
the
Limit
knob while the fader is at either the top or
bottom limit. If the fader is not on a limit when you
toggle the transition limit on, a new transition limit will
be set. Double-press the
Limit
knob to reset the transition
limit point.
GPI Output Triggers
Each video source can have a GPI output assigned to it.
This GPI can be used to trigger an external device, such
as a video server, to play the cued clip when the video
sources from the video server are taken on-air. This
trigger can be set up to occur automatically any time the
video source is transitioned on-air, or it can be triggered
manually.
