FTB
Note that FTB (Fade to Black), although not located beside the other delegates as it
is in the user interface, is a delegate button – not an action button – and works
exactly the same manner as its Live Desktop twin.
Note that FTB has no dedicated transition controls; its fade in/out duration is
derived from the BKGD transition setting.
Hint: When FTB is displayed on Program Out, it obscures all other Switcher activity. To
alert you to this important fact, the FTB button flashes for several seconds if you should
make a new TRANSITION DELEGATE selection that does not include FTB.
T RANSITION B IN C ONTROL
The control surface does not have Transition Bins for the different video layers as
such, but can nevertheless control the transitions (and their attributes) for
delegated video layers.
SELECT
When a single layer, such as BKGD, is selected in the MAIN TRANSITION > DELEGATE
group on the control surface, rotating the SELECT knob cycles the current
transitions in the Transition Bin for that layer.
When multiple video layers have been delegated, turning SELECT affects the
transitions for all layers as follows:
 When all delegated layers are currently on the same transition bin 'slot', the
selection in the corresponding transition bins simply cycles left or right
synchronously.
 Otherwise (when the Transition Bin slots for multi-delegated layers are not
harmonized), rotating the knob moves the selection layer by layer as the
knob turns until the selected slots are aligned. From that point, continuing to
twist SELECT moves the transition selection in lock step.
The SELECT knob also acts as a push button:
 Push SELECT to toggle the Reverse setting for the BKGD transition.
