These delegate buttons determine what video layers the main controls directly below ( TAKE , AUTO , T-Bar ,
etc.) will affect. Multi-selection is supported, so, for example, if you select both BKGD (Background) and KEY
1, then press AUTO for a stripe delegated to the Main Switcher , a transition is applied to both the Background
layer and DSK 1 .
22.5.2 FADE & TRANS
FIGURE 260
These two buttons provide a quick way to control the Transition Bin selection for the delegated switcher
layer(s).
• Pushing FADE offers a quick and convenient way to select the standard Crossfade transition.
• Push the TRANS button to activate the last-used transition for a video layer (or layers).
Hint: For new sessions, TRANS jumps to the transition following Fade in the effect preset bin.
The FADE and TRANS (Transition) buttons are mutually exclusive; selecting either cancels the other, and only
the currently active button remains lit.
22.5.3
FTB
To perform a Fade to Black operation, press SHIFT + the FTB button (the SHIFT button is required as a safety
measure, since FTB is a somewhat dangerous operation). Revert to normal output by pressing FTB alone.
Hint: The duration of the transition to and from black is derived from the BKGD transition duration setting.
22.5.4 EFFCT (EFFECT)
FIGURE 261
Hold down the EFFCT button to cause LED display columns at left to show the names of effects currently
assigned to presets in effect bin for the currently delegated layer of the Switcher bus assigned to the stripe.
