Overview
The cross-point control block and AUX bus control block
each have 36 cross-point buttons.
These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of
the banks and the control block, and a signal is assigned to
each number.
The basic signal selection process is to select, in a cross-
point button row, the cross-point button to which is
assigned the desired signal.
Re-entry buttons
Re-entry buttons are assigned to the cross-point button
rows in the cross-point control block and AUX bus control
block (AUX bus operation mode).
Re-entry buttons are used to load an image created on a
switcher bank (M/E and PGM/PST) as an input signal on
another switcher bank.
For example, to load the output image from the M/E-1
bank as the background B on the M/E-2 bank, press the M/
E-1 re-entry button in the 4th row in the cross-point control
block of the M/E-2 bank.
Bus Selection
Each cross-point button row is shared by multiple buses.
To assign a bus to the 1st row/2nd row cross-point buttons
in the cross-point control block, press one of the bus
delegation buttons in the cross-point pad, turning it on.
To assign a bus to the 3rd row/4th row cross-point buttons
in the AUX bus control block (AUX bus operation mode),
press one of the bus delegation buttons in the 1st row or
2nd row, turning it on.
You can also select a signal in the 2nd row by assigning
bus delegation buttons to the 1st row of the cross-point
control block (key/AUX bus delegation mode).
For details, see "Setting the Cross-Point Control Block to
Key/AUX Bus Delegation Mode" (page 395).
The following table illustrates the correspondence
between buses and cross-point button rows, and the
delegation operations.
Notes
• In 36-button rows, the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST
re-entry buttons are assigned to buttons numbered 32 to
35.
The M/E-4 and M/E-5 re-entry buttons must be assigned
in the Setup menu (see page 378).
• Re-entry buttons can also be assigned to the cross-point
pad (see page 396).
• A maximum of four re-entry stages are supported.
• If the signal format is 720P in a 4M/E to 6M/E
configuration, re-entry signals that cascade over two or
more banks cannot be selected on a key bus or the utility
1 bus.
For example, if M/E-1 is selected on the M/E-2
background A bus (or background B bus, key bus, utility
1 bus, or utility 2 bus), then M/E-2 cannot be selected on
the M/E-3 key bus or utility 1 bus.
• If the signal format is 1080P or 3840×2160P in a 3M/E
to 6M/E configuration, re-entry signals cannot be
selected on a key bus or the utility 1 bus.
