User Manual
The 8 character destination display and select bus together show you the routing of sources to
keys and auxiliary outputs. The currently selected source is indicated by an illuminated button.
A blinking button indicates a shifted source. A green illuminated button identifies a protected
source. Protected sources are program, preview, clean feed 1 and clean feed 2.
CUT/FILL
When a key setup menu is selected and the CUT/FILL button is pressed, the destination
display and select bus change to show the currently selected cut signal (also known as
the Key signal) for that key. When selecting sources for auxiliary outputs, pressing the
CUT/FILL button along with the SHIFT button displays program, preview, clean feed 1
and clean feed 2 as sources for selection on the select bus.

Transition Control and Upstream Keyers
CUT
The CUT button performs an immediate transition of the Program and Preview outputs,
regardless of the selected transition type.
AUTO and Transition Rate
The AUTO button will perform the selected transition at the rate specified in the
transition rate window. The transition rate for each transition type is set in the system
control and is displayed in the transition rate window of the transition control block
when the corresponding transition style button is selected.
The AUTO button illuminates red for the duration of the transition and the transition
rate display updates to indicate the number of frames remaining as the transition
progresses. If the software control panel is active, the virtual fader bar updates to
provide visual feedback on the progress of the transition.
Fader Bar and Fader Bar Indicator
The fader bar is used as an alternative to the AUTO button and allows the operator to
manually control the transition. The fader bar Indicator next to the fader bar provides
visual feedback on the progress of the transition.
The AUTO button illuminates red for the duration of the transition and the transition
rate display updates to indicate the number of frames remaining as the transition
progresses. If the software control panel is active, the virtual fader bar updates to
provide visual feedback on the progress of the transition.
