When the “Black Auto Take” function is ON in the User Preference Menu, you do not
need to press TAKE to perform a transition to/from black. The transition occurs
immediately, once BLACK is pressed.
Use the following steps to transition to/from black, when Black Auto Take is ON:
1. Press BLACK. The system immediately transitions to/from black, at the current
transition rate.
Please note:
~ If the transition is “to” black, the BLACK button blinks during the
transition interval, then lights solid when black is on Program.
~ If the transition is “from” black, the BLACK button blinks during the
transition interval, then automatically turns off when the selected source
is fully on Program.
Important
When the Black Auto Take function is OFF, if a source is
pending when TAKE is pressed, that source transitions to
Program after black is fully reached, and sources flip-flop in
the normal manner. If you do not want to transition to a new
source, simply press the button that is solidly lit.
Important
When the Black Auto Take function is ON, if a different
source is pending when TAKE is pressed, that source
remains pending (blinking) after black is fully reached. The
system does not transition to the pending source, and
sources do not flip-flop. If desired, you can transition to the
pending source underneath black, by pressing TAKE in the
normal manner, and then pressing BLACK to immediately
fade up to the new source.
