Notes
• The operations of enabling or disabling the side flags
by menu operation and by control panel button
operation are linked.
• When the auto side flags are on, selecting a 4:3 video
material automatically lights the [SIDE FLAG]
button, but if you press this button, turning it off, the
side flags are temporarily disabled.
However, when you select a different 4:3 video
material, the [SIDE FLAG] button automatically
lights once again, enabling the side flags.
Creating an image with side flags
For example, to create an image with side flags in the
background B row of the M/E-1 bank, use the following
procedure.
1
In the M/E-1 bank cross-point control block, hold
down the [UTIL] button, and in the background A row
select the signal (utility bus 1 signal) you want to insert
in the side flag areas.
2
In the background B row, press the cross-point button
corresponding to the 4:3 video material.
At this point, if auto side flags are on, this
automatically adds side flags to the 4:3 video material.
For details, see "Settings for Switcher Configuration
(Config Menu)" in Chapter 20 (Volume 2).
3
Use either of the following methods to turn the side
flags on.
• Use the Misc >Enable >Side Flags menu (see page
250).
• Use a cross-point button operation (see previous
item).
This adds side flags to the 4:3 video material.
