Transitions

Overview

Switching from the current image to a new image is
referred to as a transition.
Switching a background image or key insertion/removal
can be performed, depending on the transition.
The method for switching images (transition type) can be
set, and the transition executed using the buttons and fader
lever on the control panel.
Independent key transition
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to
configure independent transitions for each key.
Executing an independent key transition in combination
with a common transition enables different transition types
to be used for the background and keys.

background always switches from background A to
background B. When the transition completes, the cross-
points of the background A bus and background B bus
interchange.
In bus fixed mode, depending on the transition, the cross-
points of the background A bus and background B bus do
not interchange.
For details, see "Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode"
(page 62).
Inserting and removing a key
To insert/remove a key in a transition, select a key for a
next transition.
When a key that is not inserted in the current background
image is selected, depending on the transition, the key is
inserted.
When a key that is inserted is selected, depending on the
transition, the key is removed.
You can also simultaneously insert and remove keys when
switching the background.
You can also change the key overlay sequence (key
priority), depending on the transition.
