Setting the Independent Key
Transition Rate
There are two ways of setting the independent key
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
If, in the Setup menus, you set insertion/deletion as
independent modes, you can set the transition rates for key
insertion and deletion independently. For example, with
the system in the state with the key not inserted, the
transition rate setting applies to key insertion.
Setting the independent key transition rate
in the Flexi Pad
For example, to set the independent key transition rate for
M/E-1 key 1, carry out the following procedures.
1
In the Flexi Pad, press the [TRANS RATE] button.
The Flexi Pad switches to the transition rate setting
mode.

In the region selection buttons, select the switcher
bank.

Press the [TRNS SEL] button in the memory recall
section.

rate for key 1 of the M/E-1 bank.

section button.
If required, press the [TC] button to toggle the input
mode (frame input or timecode input).
• Enter a value of up to three digits.
• To cancel the input, press any of the mode selection
buttons.

Displaying the independent key transition
rates in a menu and changing the settings
For each of the banks, you can display the transition rate,
independent key transition rate and fade-to-black
transition rate, and change the settings
Fade-to-Black
This function gradually darkens the program output video
of the PGM/PST bank, eventually cutting it to black.
• In multi-program mode, it is possible to carry out a fade-
to-black on a number of programs simultaneously.
• Fade-to-black can be executed via GPI or a macro. It
cannot be executed from a control panel button.
You can also make a Setup menu setting such that a fade-
to-black does not apply to particular programs.
