Source Name Displays
The source name displays use labels to represent the switcher’s external inputs or internal
sources. Labels for the external inputs can be edited on the settings window of the software
control panel. Labels for the internal sources are fixed and don’t need to be changed.
The displays show the labels for each row of button in the source select row, program row and
preview row.
Pressing the SHIFT button will change the source names display to show extra sources, called
shifted sources, allowing selection of up to 20 different sources.
Simultaneously pressing both SHIFT buttons next to the source select and program rows will
change the source names display to show protected sources and these are available in the
source select row for keyers and routing to auxiliary outputs. Protected sources are program,
preview, clean feed 1 and clean feed 2.
Program Bus
The program bus is used to hot switch background sources to the program output. The source
currently on air is indicated by a button that is illuminated red. A blinking red button indicates
that the shifted source is on air. Pressing the SHIFT button will display the shifted source.
Preview Bus
The preview bus is used to select a source on the preview output. This source is sent to
program when the next transition occurs. The selected source is indicated by a button that is
illuminated green. A blinking green button indicates that a shifted source is on preview.
Pressing the SHIFT button will display the shifted source.
SHIFT
The SHIFT button provides a global shift and is used to shift the program, preview and select
busses along with the label. It also provides a shift for the transition type and joystick and other
menu functions.
Double-pressing buttons in the preview and select busses, as well as the transition type
buttons, is the same as shift-selecting them and can be a faster way to shift-select buttons.
Double-pressing is not implemented for the program bus as it would cause the program output
to momentarily show the wrong source.
