Using TransitionsThe SE-500 can do 3 kinds of transitions: cut, fade, and wipe. The cut is a simple switch from one inputsource to another, and can be accomplished by selecting a source on the Main Source Bus, and thenselecting a second one. One source is replaced by the next at the video output. Not flashy, not fancy,nothing to customize, but gets the job done. In fact, if you watch a film or video, paying attention totransitions, you’ll see that the cut is far and away the most often used transition.When you want a transition that is more stylish or fancy, see the next section.Selecting a transition: Fade, WipeFirst, some definitions:A fade, also known as a dissolve, is a transition wherein all the pixels of one source are replaced by all thepixels of another, at a smooth rate, and at the same time.In a wipe transition, the change from one source to another happens along a predefined edge. It is like onesource is being pulled back or pushed on to the other.But a picture is worth a thousand words, so...Select a main source and sub source, select Wipe, or Fade from the buttons above, press “Preview” buttonto see what it would like on program. Then, perform the actual transition manually by moving the T-bar upand down. See below for a list of transitions and variations.Playing a transitionThe T-Bar is the traditional switcher device for performing transitions; it can be eitherall the way up, all the way down, or anywhere in between. The up and down positionsare relative, meaning one position is before and one position is after the transition.The T-Bar performs the selected transition between the selected sources as fast asyou move the T-Bar. And it performs as much of the transition as you want.If no transition is selected, moving the T-Bar performs a fade between the selectedsources.Playing a transition automaticallyThe auto transition can be performed by RS-232 or MIDI control. In the auto-take, there are three differentspeeds you could select. For further detail please refer to the RS-232 Remote Control Command and MIDIRemote Control Command sections.24
