Manual Transitions
Manual transitions are preset with the next transition element buttons.
Any elements that are active when a transition is performed will change
state. Active keyers will transition from on-air to off-air or visa-versa. Back-
ground transitions will occur between the A and B buses with a flip flop at
the end of transition, ensuring the A bus is always on-air and the B bus is
off-air when a transition is not in progress. Any element not selected in the
next transition element group retains its current state. Combinations of ele-
ments can be included in the same transition by selecting more than one
transition element button.
To Perform a Lever Arm Transition
Setup:
1. Select the next transition button(s) for the element(s) involved ( Bkgd ,
Key 1-4 , Key Prior .). Selecting one element button disables any others
selected. Holding down one button while pressing another selects both
elements, allowing all the transition elements to be activated if desired.
2. Select the type of transition ( Mix , or Wipe ).
3. Select any new sources involved in the transition:
• If performing a background transition, select the new source to
transition to on the B bus.
• If you are transitioning in a new key, select that new source on the
key bus.
• If you are changing key priority, specify a new key priority in the
Keyer Priority menu.
4. If desired, select a transition modifier ( Trans PVW or Preset Black ).

5. Move the transition lever arm. The picture will transition only the
elements selected. Other elements will remain unchanged.
