User's Manual

TIP It’s recommended to use the transition control block to perform transitions
because it provides the opportunity to verify the video content on the preview
output before sending it to the program output, for example to verify that a
camera is in focus.

Auto Transitions
An auto transition allows you to automatically transition between program and preview sources
at a predetermined rate. Any upstream keys that were selected in the next transition and any
downstream keys that were tied to the transition control will also change state. Auto transitions
are performed using the auto button in the transition control block. Mix, dip, wipe, DVE and
stinger transitions can all be performed as an AUTO transition.
