Performing Transitions
You can perform transitions in one of the following manners: hot-punching a crosspoint on the Program bus,
selecting a Keyer (1-4) button from the Keyer Area to transition a keyer on or off air, and using the options in the
Transition Area to add elements to the transition.
To perform a transition
1. Press the required Channel Select button on the MC1-PANEL-16.
2. In the Transition Area , select the elements you want to add to the next transition by selecting the
BKGD INCL
button to add the Background video source, and the
Key 1
-
4
buttons to add the required keyer(s).
3. On the Preset bus, select the video source you want to take on-air.
4. Select a
Transition Speed
button (Slow, Medium, or Fast).
5. Select a
Transition Type
button.
6. Select
TAKE
.
To perform a Fade to Black
The
FTB
button allows you to fade to black, where the Program bus is faded to black at the FTB rate. Note that this
also removes any EAS text and audio from the output. The Fade to Black rate is set in the Home tab as outlined
above. When the
FTB
button is selected, or lit, the MC1-PANEL-16 performs an Auto transition to black.
For More Information on...
• disabling the
FTB
button, refer to the section “ Disabling the Fade to Black Button ” on page 32.
Transition Notes
Keep the following in mind when performing transitions:
• To allow for audio cross fading, a cut takes two frames. One frame is used for the audio fade down, the video is
then cut, followed by the one frame audio fade up.
• The speed at which the Auto transition is performed, in number of frames, is determined by the setting (Slow,
Medium, or Fast) in the Transition Rate area. Before proceeding, ensure the Transition Type is set to the
desired type.
• When switching between router sources, there is an additional time after the (visible) transition, while the router
sources are switched. If you see a glitch at the end of the transition, this indicates that the Delay setting in the
Router setup tab is set too low.
• If a crosspoint or transition button is selected while a transition is in progress, the original transition continues as
subsequent button presses are ignored (except the
FTB
button).
• Verify how the Toggle Program/Preset Bus and Disarm Preset Keyers options are configured in the Personality
tab. Refer to the MC1-MK Installation Guide for details on configuring these options.
SqueezeBack Effects
The MC1-PANEL-16 can be used to perform on-air SqueezeBack transitions to reveal another video source or
graphic. You can also transition to pre-squeezed effects with standard transitions, squeeze in any direction on either
X or Y axis, or both. Four SqueezeBack presets on each MC1-MK card are provided for quick effect recalls on the
fly.
This section briefly outlines the SqueezeBack Effects controls of the MC1-PANEL-16.
