Transitions
A transition is a change from one picture to another. This change
can take the form of a cut, a mix, or a wipe and can be used to
switch background scenes or insert or remove a key. Procedures
for various transitions are presented on the following pages.
Background Cut
A cut is an instantaneous switch from one picture to another. It’s
the simplest type of transition between scenes. To cut between
Program and Preset Background bus sources, do the following:
1. Select a PST bus [crosspoint] .
2. Select the [Bkgd] Transition button. The PST bus scene will
appear on the preview monitor (if present).
3. Press the [Cut] Transition button. The PST bus scene will
immediately switch on air and the PGM and PST crosspoint
selections will flip-flop (swap). Refer to Figure 4-1.
You can also do a hot cut by simply selecting a new PGM bus
crosspoint.
