Clean Feed Modes

For bilingual applications a special “dual output mode” is also provided. This provides

DSK1 over the PGM/PST bus on the normal program output and DSK2 over the

PGM/PST bus on the clean feed output. The DSKs can be switched independently or

configured so that transitions performed on one keyer automatically follow on the other

keyer. This allows French/English, English/Spanish, etc. simultaneous broadcasts from a

single switcher. Refer to the figure below.

Clean Feed Dual Output Mode

Our enhanced clean feed capabilities also allow you to view the alpha feeding a selected

keyer on an MLE. The Clean Feed alpha output can be derived from any key type on Key 1

or Key 2 of a selected MLE, or it can be derived from the last selected Chroma key on any

keyer on the switcher.

Disk Drive and System Control Area

This feature makes it possible to store and recall complete switcher setups including memory

functions, switcher personalities, installation parameters and more, to a standard high density

3.5 inch floppy disk. The flexibility that this option offers can help save setup times and

allows operators to store their switcher setups to their own disks.

Also included in this feature is a large crisp display that is used to configure the switcher and

to provide advanced operational features.

Custom Control Macros

This feature brings the power of macros to the switcher operator. A series of button presses

can be easily recorded and attached to any of 17 dedicated buttons (shiftable to 72) close to

the operator. Step through complex show openings as easily as pressing Custom Control

buttons 1, 2, then 3. Confusing timeline programming is now a thing of the past.

Custom Control buttons can also be used to control remote devices or other optional

switcher features.
