i~óÉê=`çåíêçä=pÉÅíáçå
The figures below illustrate the Layer Control Section on each Controller model. The
sections are essentially identical, except that the Controller LC can adjust up to six mixers
(in a “stack” configuration), while the model SC controls up to three mixers.

The buttons in the Layer Control Section enable you to select (on Preview) the sources
that will transition to or from Program — including backgrounds, individual layers and the
DSK. When you select a blue “layer” button, you are electronically selecting a scaler that
you want to assign as a PIP or Key, or modify in some manner. In this way, you control the
overall look on Preview before you transition that look to Program.
Please note the following points:
• The Controller SC controls up to six layers on three mixers.
• The Controller LC controls up the 12 layers on six mixers (in a “stack”
configuration).
• Two background sources and one DSK are provided.
• Each identical mixer is comprised of two layers (A and B) and a Split button.
• The buttons are arranged left-to-right in order of visual priority — backgrounds
(lowest priority), mixers (in order of priority), and the DSK (highest priority).
• Any combination of backgrounds, layers and DSK can be selected on Preview for
transition to or from Program, provided that resources are available. In Chapter 7,
refer to the “
A Word About Resources” section on page 322 for more details.
