Operator’s Guide (for Imagestore 750s)
• ‘Aux Bus Follow’
This option — although not strictly a transition option — has 3 choices: ‘none’, ‘PGM’, or ‘PST:
When the option is ‘PGM’, the aux bus “follows” the program bus. That means that whatever
source you select on the program bus is also selected on the aux bus.
When the option is ‘PST’, the aux bus “follows” the preset bus.
When the option is ‘none’, the aux bus does not “follow” either bus and operates normally.
Note that when the option is ‘PGM’ or ‘PST’, you can still use the aux buttons, normally, to
switch sources to your aux output.
Working with Transition Type and Rate
It is the Imagestore 750 that stores the transition type and rate. It supports 8 transition types:
cut, V-fade, cut-fade, cross-fade (or X-fade), fade-cut, U-fade, V-fade preset 1, and V-fade preset
2. (A U-fade is like a V-fade with a dwell period in the middle. The dwell period is pre-configured.
The characteristics of the V-fade preset 1 and preset 2 are also pre-configured.)
Rates are ‘Slow’, ‘Medium’, and ‘Fast’. Your panel might have an ‘Automation Rate’ button which
selects whatever rate is in effect in the automation system in your facility.
The Imagestore 750’s A/B mixer has its slow, medium, and fast rates. You can change these rates
in the ‘A/B Mixer’ menu.
Each DSK has its own rates (slow, medium, and fast) and each voice-over has its rates. You can
change a DSK’s three rates in its menu. Larger values are slower rates. The range of values is 1 to
999. You cannot change the rates of a voice-over from the panel.
By convention, transition type and rate buttons are assigned to the ‘Transition Control’ button
group at the front of the panel. However, any of these functions can assigned to any config-
urable button.
To select a transition type, simply press one of the transition type buttons. The button will go
high-tally and other transition type buttons go low-tally. To select a rate, press one of the transi-
tion rate buttons.
A “cut” transition does not involve a rate and any rate buttons on your panel become disabled.
Notes
• When you set a transition type, it is set within the Imagestore 750. Other panels attached to
the Imagestore 750 can detect, and use, its transition type.
• The transition type in the current Imagestore 750 might not be represented on your panel.
In that case, all transition type buttons on your panel will be disabled.
Changing Transition Rates
To change the rate of the A/B mixer, follow these steps:
1 From the main menu, press an ‘A/B Mixer’ button to access the ‘A/B Mixer’ menu.
2 Use the keypad or knob proxy adjacent to the slow, medium, or fast value to change the
value. The new rate is immediately available for use.
To change a DSK rate, follow these steps:
