Keyboard Controls – Video Switching

Program and Preset rows

The Program row of buttons is the active channel, this is the live output. The active channel will appear as the
Program Output (PGM). You can switch or CUT from one video source to another directly on the Program row. You
will see the multi view PGM output change as you press different keys along this top row of buttons.
The Preset row is the cued channel, this channel will appear in the PST or Preview window. The Preset row
selection decides which input will be transitioned to next when using any of the transition controls.
N.B. The keys on the Program and Preset rows will be inactive while the T-Bar is active or moving. Only
when the T-Bar is fully up or fully down will the keys respond.
BG
Background button – assigns a background colour or SMPTE 75% bars for use on the Program and Preset row.

SPEED

There are three speed buttons which can be defined by the user. By
pressing a speed button the user is choosing the rate of transition or time
taken when using the AUTO TAKE button.

AUTO TAKE

This performs an automated switch from the current program source to
the selected preset source. The selected transition wipe or dissolve will
also be used. The timing of the transition is set by the chosen Speed
button.

CUT

This performs a simple immediate switch from the current main source to
the selected sub source. The selected transition wipe or dissolve is not
used.

FTB

Fade To Black, this button fades the current video program source to
black. When pressed again it acts in reverse from complete black to the
currently selected program video source.

T-Bar

This performs a manually controlled transition from the current program
source to the selected preset source. The selected transition wipe or
dissolve will be used. When the T-Bar has travelled as far as it can go the
transition between sources is complete. The T-Bar has indicators next to
it which light when the transition is complete.
The T-Bar can be operated in one of two modes which is chosen by a
menu option, see page 17 onwards for more details.
