Look-Ahead Transition Logic makes sure that the Viz graphics system performs optimal transitions between existing and new graphics elements.
Imagine a clock running constantly in the lower right hand corner of the screen showing the duration of a football match. Somebody scores and a lower-third results graphic is needed fast. Normally the operator needs to remember to take off the clock first, put up the lower-third score, take that off and bring on the clock again. Four separate actions to remember.
With Transition Logic, the Trio operator can forget about the clock. When the score result is needed the operator just brings on the lower-third and the clock conveniently moves out of the way, further up the screen. When the result is taken off, the clock elegantly drops back to its former position. Only two actions needed and nothing to remember. And the clock stays in view all the time.
