Selecting the transition type determines the way in which
the transition occurs. The following transition types are
available.
• Mix
• NAM (non-additive mix)
• Super mix
• Preset color mix (color matte)
• Wipe
• DME wipe
• Clip transition
• Cut
There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto
transition bybutton operation or a manual transition using
the fader lever. It is also possible to combine these two
modes.
Transition type: Wipe
Same wipe is applied to
background and key.
Effect of a common transition
Effect with use of an independent key transition
The key is inserted with an independent key transition as
the background changes with a common transition,
providing the following result.

Independent key transitions
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry
outindependenttransitionsonthekeyersoftheM/Ebanks
and PGM/PST bank. These are called “independent key
transitions.”
Independentkey
transition type: Wipe
Different wipe patterns are
applied to the background
and key transitions.
By carrying out an independent key transition in
combinationwithacommontransition,differenttransition
types can be used for the background and keys.
The following compares the independent key transition
withacommontransition,takingasimultaneouschangeof
the background and key as an example.

Effect of a background transition and independent key transition
Fordetails,seeChapter3“SignalSelectionand
Transitions” ( 1 p.59).
Keys
A key is an effectin which a partof the background image
is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal
determining how the background is cut out is termed “key
source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is
termed “key fill.” The system component responsible for
processing a key is referred to as a “keyer.”
For the four keyers on each switcher bank, you can usethe
following key types (i.e., methods of processing the key
source).

Key modifiers
You can apply borders and other modifiers to the edge of
the key image.
Masks
A mask allows a part of the image to be masked by the
background or a key. If unwanted holes occur in the
background, or if a key is not the desired shape, you can
correct the problem with a mask.
Resizer
This function allows you to apply effects, such as zoom,
movement,oraspectratiochangetoapartofacreatedkey.
You can use the following operations.
• Two-dimensional transform of a key
• Rotation of keys
• Resizer interpolation settings

(p.79).
Wipes
A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a
new video stream, using a wipe pattern.
Changingthebackgroundbymeansofawipeis referredto
as a “background wipe,” and inserting or deleting a key
with a wipe is termed a “key wipe.”
There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in
a common transition, and those that can be selected in an
independent keytransition.
You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern
position, applying various changes and modifiers to the
selected wipe pattern.
Fordetails,seeChapter5“Wipes” ( 1 p.101).
DME Wipes
A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses an image
transformation effect to change from one video image to
the next.
There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be
selected for a normal transition, and those which can be
selected for an independent key transition.
DME wipe patterns supported on the MVS-6520/6530/
3000A:
