The controls and functions of these two control groups are virtually identical, so we will consider them
together.
BKGD AND DSK/KEY 1-4
FIGURE 282
These delegate buttons determine what video layers the other controls in the group ( 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 .
FADE & TRANS
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 icons for a video layer (or layers).
Hint: For new sessions, TRANS jumps to the first transition in the bin.
The FADE and TRANS (Transition) buttons are mutually exclusive; selecting either one cancels
the other, and only the currently active button remains lit.
SELECT & RATE
Twist the SELECT knob to cycle through the various transition effects that you have added
to the software preset bin for the currently delegated video layer. Pressing the knob toggles
the
Reverse option for the current effect.
