22.5.1 BKGD AND KEY 1-4
FIGURE 256
These delegate buttons determine what video layers the main controls directly below (TAKE, AUTO, T-Bar,
etc.) will affect. Multi-selection is supported, so, for example, if you select both BKGD (Background) and KEY
1, then press AUTO for a stripe delegated to the Main Switcher, a transition is applied to both the Background
layer and DSK 1.
22.5.2 FADE & TRANS
FIGURE 257
These two buttons provide a quick way to control the Transition Bin selection for the delegated switcher
layer(s).
 Pushing FADE offers a quick and convenient way to select the standard Crossfade transition.
 Push the TRANS button to activate the last-used transition icons for a video layer (or layers).
Hint: For new sessions, TRANS jumps to the first transition in the bin.
The FADE and TRANS (Transition) buttons are mutually exclusive; selecting either one cancels the other, and
only the currently active button remains lit.
22.5.3 FTB
To perform a Fade to Black operation, press SHIFT + the FTB button (the SHIFT button is required as a safety
measure, since FTB is a somewhat dangerous operation). Revert to normal output by pressing FTB alone.
Hint: The duration of the transition to and from black is derived from the BKGD transition duration setting.
