MAESTRO — Installation and Service Manual

Section 13 — DVE Configuration

Type

A transition type is specified for both video and audio signals. The possible
selections for the video signal are FadeFade, CrossFade and Wipe. The pos-
sible selections for the audio signal are FadeFade and CrossFade. The type
selection enables or disables the entry of other transition parameters.

Wipe

The preferred transitional wipe effect name is selected from the drop-down
list box. This parameter applies to the video signal only and is not active for
audio signals.

Note

Wipes are represented graphically as a cross-fade in the video signal.

‘From Old’ Delay Duration

The delay period, expressed as a number of frames, from the time the tran-
sition begins (with a press of the

TAKE

button or via automation) until the

transition of the indicated signal begins. In the example in

Figure 278

, there

is a 20 frame delay after the transition is initiated before the video signal
begins to transition from the old to the new source. This allows the audio
transition to complete before the video transition begins.

If CrossFade or Wipe is the selected transition type for a video signal, this
field is disabled (grayed out) as it is not applicable.

If CrossFade is the selected transition type for an audio signal, this field is
disabled (grayed out) as it is not applicable.

‘From Old’ Duration

If a FadeFade type was selected, this is the number of frames in which the
old source will fade to black for a video signal or fade to silent for an audio
signal.

If CrossFade or Wipe is the selected transition type for a video signal, this
field is disabled (grayed out) as it is not applicable.

If CrossFade is the selected transition type for an audio signal, this field is
disabled (grayed out) as it is not applicable.

Black (Silent) Duration

If a FadeFade type is selected, this is the number of frames for which a
video signal will remain at black or an audio signal will remain silent before
the new source begins to fade in.

If CrossFade or Wipe is the selected transition type for a video signal, this
field is disabled (grayed out) as it is not applicable.

If CrossFade is the selected transition type for an audio signal, this field is
disabled (grayed out) as it is not applicable.
