Visual indications on cross-point

the last button pressed) lights amber or red.

on the bus does not form part of the
program output from the switcher.
Red (“high tally”): The signal selected on
the bus forms part of the program
output from the switcher.
b XPT (cross-point) HOLD buttons
Turning one of these buttons on enables
you to recall a keyframe or snapshot while
keeping the current cross-point selection
unchanged.
When the [XPT HOLD] button in the key 1
or key 2 row is on, then the operation is as
follows, depending on the setting in the
Setup menu.
When the panel setup is “Normal”: The
operation is as follows, depending on
the setting in switcher setup.
Key Disable: The snapshot or
keyframe is recalled without changing
the current key settings.
Key Disable with Status: The
snapshot or key frame is recalled
without changing the current key
settings, including the on/off status.

cross-point selection.

on, to assign the key 1 cross-point

Pressing one of the key delegation buttons
[KEY1] to [KEY4] in the transition control

succession changes the state of the
corresponding one of these buttons, so that
you can make cross-point selections on the
key bus (see page 263).

While this button is held down, the cross-
point buttons are assigned to the following
buses, respectively.
Background A row: utility 1 bus
Background B row: utility 2 bus
Key 1 row: DME external video bus
Key 2 row: DME utility 1 bus when the
[KEY4] button is off, or DME utility 2
bus when the [KEY4] button is lit.
In a Setup menu, you can select either of the
following two modes for these buttons.
• The button takes effect while being held
down.
• Every time the button is pressed, it
toggles between the on and off states for
key 1 and key 2 rows. For background A
and background B rows, utility buses
remain disabled.
e Source name displays
These show the names of the signals which
can be selected on the cross-point buttons,
in two or four characters, or in auto mode.
While the [SHIFT] button on the right hand
side or the [SHIFT] button assigned to the
column of cross-point buttons is enabled,
the source name of the signal assigned to
the column of cross-point buttons in shift
mode appears. You can select green,
orange, or yellow for the background color
