Section 2 — Control Panels
When a
Trans Rate
button is pressed, the
Auto Trans
and the four
Key 1-4 Mix
buttons will flash and the E-MEM readout prompts for the rate to be set.
Pressing one of the flashing buttons delegates the E MEM keypad to that
transition rate and its current rate appears on the readout. A time entry is
then expected on the keypad in seconds, frames, field format.
Other Transition Control Interactions
The
Transition Lever Arm
can be used in combination with the
Auto Trans
or
Cut
button to perform a main transition. For example, you can start the transi-
tion by moving the lever off its limit, and finish the transition by pressing
Auto Trans
. The transition is completed at a rate proportional to the rate set
for the transition. For example, if the lever was moved halfway and the
transition is completed by pressing
Auto Trans
at a rate of 200 frames, the
remaining half of the transition will take 100 frames. Moving the lever part
way, then pressing
Cut
will complete the transition with a cut. Note that
these actions will leave the lever out of sync with the state of the transition.
The lever will not affect the transition until is moved to one of its limits. The
lever movement to regain sync will not change the M/E output.
