Transition Limit
You can stop a transition at a preset position between

2. Press NEXT until Limit is displayed.
3. Move the Fader to the desired position you wish
to set as a transition limit.
4. Press the Limit knob.
The Progress Bar next to the Fader flashes to
indicate the defined transition limit.
Note:
• Ensure that you are not on-air when setting the
transition limit as you will be moving the Fader
handle to define the preset position.
To perform a transition with a transition limit set:
1. Initiate a transition by pressing AUTO
TRANS.
When the transition reaches the defined limit, it
will stop.
2. To reverse the transition, press AUTO

knob to turn off the transition limit.

transition.
