Routing clean feeds to aux outputs allows ultimate flexibility in the use of your program
video. From the aux outputs you can record a version of your program free from any
local broadcast branding you might have applied from the down stream keyer. This
‘clean’ version could then be used for an international broadcast. This is a very
powerful feature!
