Chapter 23: Crossfades
(Automation)
This chapter shows you how to use crossfades.
Crossfades are events that are triggered using the standard event mechanism,
and are managed via the Automation screen. A crossfade event is managed in a
similar way to any other event, such as GPIO and MIDI, and is detailed later on in
this section.
A crossfade event is a trigger to change the value of a control — most often but
not always a fader — between two levels, that of the current control position
and that of the position in another scene, over time. If the level in the next scene
is higher than the current level, the crossfade uses the 'fade up' time; if it is lower,
it uses the 'fade down' time.
About the crossfade Edit Event window
You can edit the parameters of a crossfade event in the Edit Event window.
Crossfade Edit Event window (for details of the Edit Event window elements that
are common to each event type, see Figure 25 “Edit Event window” in chapter 22)

Item Element Function
1 Crossfade Group Edit button Opens the Crossfade Groups screen (see “Crossfade groups”).
2 Crossfade set up section See “Crossfade set up section in the Edit Event window”.
3 Parameter dropdown list
For choosing the level control that you want the crossfade to operate on (see “About
the crossfade parameters”).
4 Crossfade Group drop-down list
Contains all of the available user-congured crossfade groups. Also includes the
default example group that contains all possible crossfade sources.
About the crossfade parameters
The following diagram shows the PRO Series congured for 5.1 surround mode, which utilises each available parameter option. The presence of the divergence,
centre level and LFE level sections are dependent on the currently selected surround mode.
