The two MAV output channels gives two views into the recorded material, a PREVIEW view and
a PROGRAM view. The PROGRAM output is the AIR feed. Only the [PLAY] and T-Bar
SLOMO functions control this output; all other transport functions control the PREVIEW output.

If the transition is assigned to an element, all the elements that follow and don’t have transitions
assigned to them will use that transition.
For example:
Element 0 has dissolve transition assigned to it.
Elements 1 & 2 don’t have transitions
Element 3 has a wipe assigned to it
Element 4 has a cut assigned to it
Elements 5 & 6 don’t have transitions.
When the Playlist plays out, the following will happen:
0 Î 1 will dissolve
1 Î 2 will dissolve
2 Î 3 will dissolve
3 Î 4 will wipe
4 Î 5 will cut
5 Î 6 will cut
When the element has a transition assigned to it, the display shows “T” next to the element name.
If the transition is a cut, the display shows “C”.
If there is no transition assigned (default transition), the space next to the Element’s name is blank.

DNF Controls warrants its product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one
(1) year from the date of sale to the original purchaser from DNF Controls.
In order to enforce the rights under this warranty, the customer must first contact DNF’s Customer Support
Department to afford the opportunity of identifying and fixing the pr oblem without sending the unit in for
repair. If DNF’s Customer Support Department cannot fix the problem, the customer will be issued a
Returned Merchandise Authorization number (RMA). The customer will then ship the defective product

The merchandise is to be shipped to:

accepted, or in a charge for the required repair.
DNF Controls, at its option, will repair or replace the defective unit. DNF Controls will return the unit
prepaid to the customer. The method of shipment is at the discretion of DNF Controls, principally UPS
Ground for shipments within the United States of America. Shipments to international customers will be
sent via air. Should a customer require the product to be returned in a more expeditious manner, the return

This warranty will be considered null and void if accident, misuse, abuse, improper line voltage, fire, water,
lightning or other acts of God damaged the product. All repair parts are to be supplied by DNF Controls,

DNF Controls or its authorized dealer may void the warranty.
