Transition Indicator Function
In each of the switcher banks, to the left of the fader lever
is a transition indicator. This indicator shows the state of
the transition, whether auto or manual.
For example, in the previous illustration, it can be seen that
the transition is more than half completed.
When the transition is completed, the indicator turns off.
Setting the Transition Rate
There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the
Flexi Pad to enter a numeric value, or using the Misc menu
to access the Transition menu for each switcher bank.
You can also display the transition rate, independent key
transition rate, and fade-to-black transition rate for each
bank, and change the settings
When a clip transition is selected as the transition type, it
is not possible to set the transition rate.
Frame input mode and timecode input
mode
For numeric input of the transition rate value, there are two
modes: frame input mode and timecode input mode. You
select one of these modes using the Flexi Pad.
Frame input mode:
The entered value is a number of
frames.
Example: Entering 123 constitutes an entry of 123
frames
Timecode input mode:
The entered value is a timecode
value.
Example: Entering 123 constitutes an entry of 1
second 23 frames.
Whereas you can enter a value of up to 999 in frame input
mode, a value not smaller than 10 seconds cannot be
entered in timecode input mode.
Frame display mode and timecode display
mode
For the transition rate display in the transition control
block, there are two modes: frame display mode and
timecode display mode. You can select one of these modes
in setup.

“Setting the Transition Rate Display
The setting is common to all banks of the switcher.
Frame display mode:
Values are shown as from 0 to 999
frames. In this display mode, a value entered in
timecode input mode is converted for display as a
number of frames.
Timecode display mode:
Values are shown as timecode
values, consisting of seconds and frames. In this
display mode, a value entered in frame input mode is
converted for display as a timecode value. If the value
consists of four or more digits, the last digit is not
shown.
Example: A value of 9 seconds 23 frames appears as
“9.23” and a value of 10 seconds 01 frame appears
as “10.0.”
