CUT Button
AUTO TRANS Button

MIX Button
WIPE Button
The Transition Control controls what the “next” transition (mix, wipe, cut, Auto TRANS or the T-bar) will do, i.e. they specify what is “in the transition.”
This performs a manually controlled transition from the current program source to the selected Preview source. When the T-Bar has travelled as far as it can go, the transition between sources is complete.
The CUT button is used to instantaneously switch between the currently selected Program and a Preview source.
Instead of using the manually operated T-Bar, the Auto TRANS button is used to automatically transition between the selected Program and a Preview source over a set period.
Fade To Black, this button fades the current video program source to black. When pressed again it acts in reverse from complete black to the currently selected program video source.
The MIX button is selected when a dissolve transition between the selected Program and a Preview source is required. This Mix transition is generated by moving the T-Bar manually or Pressing the Auto TRANS button.
The WIPE button is selected when a wipe effect transition between the selected Program and a Preview source is required. This WIPE effect is generated by moving the T-Bar manually or by pressing the Auto button. Clip transition mode is activated when MIX/WIPE buttons are enabled simultaneously.
