Cutting on the Program Bus
Cuts are the simplest transition, performing an 
instantaneous change between sources. You can 
perform a cut transition by pressing CUT, or you can 
perform the transition directly on the Program bus.
This also applies to keys. If a key is on-air, you can 
select alternate sources on the Key/Aux bus and have 
them instantly cut on-air.
To cut on the Program bus:
• Select the source you want to take on-air by 
pressing a source button on the Program bus.
Note:
• You can not preview the next source on your 
preview monitor when cutting on the Program 
Bus.

wipe transition takes to complete when you press the 
AUTO TRANS button. Transitions performed with 
the Fader are not affected.
To change the rate for automatic transitions: 
1. Prepare a transition using   DISS, 
WIPE, or   DVE as the transition type, but do 
not perform the transition.

duration.
3. Press AUTO TRANS to perform the 
transition.

is set by the length of the loaded animation, and 
not the set transition rate.
