Transitions
Figure 121. Background Chains Menu
In the Background Chaining menu, in the Chain 1 / Chain 2 data pads, a “ B ” is
displayed next to the ME when that ME’s background is part of the Back-
ground chain (
Figure 121 ).
Note An ME can only belong to one Background Chain at a time, so once chained
it will be grayed out and unavailable to the other chain.
Partition Sync Mode
There is no general need to chain the primary and secondary partitions of
an ME, this can be done by selecting both the
Pri and Sec buttons on the
Source Select Module. In Kayenne, each partition can be transitioned sepa-
rately by use of the left and right halves of the lever arm. However, to fully
synchronize these two partitions (essential for 3D operation), Partition
Sync Mode has been added.
Partition Sync mode ( Sync Pri/Sec buttons) synchronizes or “locks” the
chained background transitions together and puts the Lever Arm in a
primary transition-only state, with the secondary transition attached. If
you perform a Primary and Secondary transition without Partition Sync on
for a split ME, the two outputs may be slightly offset. Even with the split
Lever Arm locked, the outputs may still be offset. Turning on a
SyncPri/Sec
button ( Figure 121 ) precisely synchronizes the backgrounds for transition.
