12 Untimed Aux Buses
All twelve of the Aux Buses can be used to route video to monitors, DVEs, still stores, tape
machines, technical areas, etc. If any of the destinations require outputs with stable timing
regardless of the source, then the option S2-051: Timed Aux Bus is required.
The following signals are available on a Synergy 2 Aux Bus:
• Black,
• All primary inputs,
• DVE SEND (if purchased, used to integrate external DVE effects into switcher
transitions),
• Clean feed,
• MLE 1 and MLE 2 program outputs.
19 Standard Digital Outputs
In addition to the 12 untimed Aux Bus outputs that come standard with the Synergy 2, many
program and preview outputs also come standard:
Output Type Quantity
MLE 1 PGM 1
MLE 1 PV 1
MLE 2 PGM (main PGM) 2
MLE 2 PV 1
Main PV (no overlay) 1
Clean Feed 1
Aux Bus (one per bus) 12
Total Outputs 19
Two Downstream Keyers
Time, temperature, and bug logos are often added using one or both of the two internal
downstream keyers. The keyers have full access to the internal crosspoint matrix making
every source available as a downstream key.
Clean Feed
This feature provides a second “program” output that is derived from a different location
than the standard program output. It is used for bilingual and live-to-tape productions.
Another frequent application is the recording of shows for later airing without “call in”
phone numbers inserted.
The clean feed output can be generated from many different locations in the video path. It
can come from before or after the keyers in any MLE. Refer to the figure on the following
page.
