2-17 Transition Subpanels NOTE: Flip-flop operation occurs only when operating in Standard mode. Operating in layered mode causes the A and B Background layers to transition in a manner similar to the Key 1 and Key 2 layers (see the descriptions for Key 1 and Key 2). In Layered mode, the BKGD A and BKGD B buttons also delegate the keyers subpanel.[...]

2-18 Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Pressing the PST BLK button selects a two-stage transition that inserts black between the two video sources being mixed, wiped, or cut. For example, instead of mixing directly between the A Background and B Backgr ound buses during a background transition, a preset black transition mixes, wipes, or cuts[...]

2-19 Transition Subpanels A new background sour ce may be selected on the B Background bus when you are at the midpoint of a pr eset black mix.
