Program Bus
The Program Bus (PGM) is the bank's bottom layer, which is used to select the
switcher's primary output video. Please note:
~
Except for SHIFT, all buttons on the PGM Bus are mutually exclusive,
including the re-entry button.
Preset and Phantom Key Bus
This bus has two functions:
~
First (just like on an M/E), the PST Bus is used to select the next
background source.
~
Second, because there is no "physical" Key Bus in the PGM Bank, the
PST Bus doubles as the Key Assign Bus — the bank's top layer. To
assign a key source to the downstream keyer, press and hold the DSK
button, then select the desired key source from the buttons on PST.
Please note:
~
Except for SHIFT, all buttons on the PST Bus are mutually exclusive,
including the re-entry button.
~
When a PST source is taken to Program with a transition, the source
"flips" to PGM. In Chapter 7, refer to the
Mode" section on page 269 for details.
Re-entry Buttons
At the end of each bus, the Re-entry Button allows you to combine the program
output of the M/E into the video flow of the selected bus. For example:
You can re-enter M/E 1 on PGM, PST or the Phantom Key Bus.
This re-entry capability enables you to cut, mix or wipe to an M/E, or use an M/E
as a key source.
SHIFT Buttons
All SHIFT buttons are latching. Press to access additional sources as follows:
~
Sources 11 through 20 on the FSN-150.
