7. Operations
Working with Layer Functions
~ If the system is in wide screen mode, the layer is centered in screen 1
and sized to 90% of that screen.
~ All other layers are hidden.
~ The background switches to a neutral gray.
~ The Input Menu for the selected source appears.
3. Using the Input Menu, adjust the source in the normal manner.
4. To restore Preview to its previous setup, press Source Preview.
Please note the following important points regarding Source Preview:
• While the Source Preview mode is enabled, you can only perform input
adjustments and source selections. All other layer, destination and output
functions are disabled.
• The Source Preview mode cannot be enabled with "stack" destinations.

The Reset function is context sensitive. It is used to reset the current effect to a nominal
default value on Preview.
 Use the following steps to reset a specific PIP or Key parameter:
1. In the Layer Control Section, activate the layer that you wish to reset. The layer
button blinks to indicate that it is active.
2. Ensure that the layer is on Preview. Typically, you cannot reset functions on
Program.
3. Ensure that Freeze is off. Frozen PIPs or Keys cannot be reset.
4. If required, access the "menu" whose specific function you want to reset (e.g.,
borders, shadows, special effects, size, etc.).
5. In the Joystick Section, press Reset to reset the current effect.

Within a selected mixer, the "Join" mode enables you to lock layers A and B together, such
that they move as one and maintain a precise relationship. You can also program "moves"
when the two layers are joined. The mode is particularly effective when using
Cut + Fill
keys, or for simultaneously moving a PIP with an associated lower-third key.
The following rules apply:
• Only the layers within a mixer can be joined (e.g., 1A and 1B).
• Layers on two separate mixers cannot be joined (e.g., 1A and 3B).
• In the selected mixer, Split mode must be enabled.
• Any type of PIP and all types of Keys can be joined. You can join two PIPs, two
Keys, or one PIP and one Key.

Note
In some situations (such as size and position), a parameter
on Program
can be reset — provided that Modify Layers on
Program
is enabled.
