MXPro designates monitors as either Preview or Program to indicate how a particular
monitor may be used. This manual uses the following pictures to distinguish between
the two monitors.
Preview Monitor
The Preview monitor is your "working" monitor. Most of the time it contains controls
for managing Source and Output devices. For example, it shows miniature versions of
images coming from the attached VCR's and camcorders. The Preview monitor also
shows a menu of transitions and other effects from which you can choose. See "Using
the Preview Screen" beginning on page 35.
The Preview monitor must be a Composite device. Do not attempt to connect any
other type of monitor to the PREVIEW OUT jack on the MXPro rear panel.
The Program monitor shows the production exactly as recorded on the output device or
displayed in a live video environment. The Program monitor shows the program com-
plete with transitions and other effects. You normally connect the Program monitor to
the output device. The Program monitor can be either a Composite or S-Video device.
You can operate MXPro with only one monitor connected to the Preview out. However,
to greatly simplify your work you should have at least two monitors — one Preview
and one Program. Instructions in this manual assume you have separate Preview and
Program monitors.
