Overview - Sony XKS-C9111 User Manual

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 cross-point button row for
background B bus in the cross-point control block of the
M/E-2 bank.
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 414).
• Re-entry buttons can also be assigned to the cross-point
pad (see page 434).
• When extended re-entry is enabled for switcher banks,
re-entry signals within the same switcher bank can be
selected.
