Transitions
Transitions are used to change the background
video and take keys on and off-air. A transition can
include any combinations of background and keyers
for an ME. The background and each keyer can be
transitioned independently and at the same time using
the dedicated
KEY CUT
and
KEY AUTO
buttons.
To Perform a Transition
All transitions, with the exception of cuts on the
background or key bus, have the same basic setup. To
perform a transition, you must select what sources you
want to transition on what buses, and how you want
the transition to appear.

Live Assist
>
Buses
and select the MiniME
™

perform a transition on.
Tip:
You can also select sources from the
MiniME
tab
(Click

>
Background
or
Preset
and selecting a
source, or
Key X
>
Key Fill
and selecting the source.
2.
Select the bus and source that you want to take on-
air on that bus.
For a background transition you must select the
source you want to transition to on the preset bus.

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.
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.
