The
Re-entry
buttons on the
PGM
bank enable you combine the contents of the M/E bank
into the switcher’s output. This holds true for the
PGM
,
PST
and
KEY
buses:
•
When
M/E
is selected on the
PGM
bus, the entire output of the M/E bank is on
program. This enables you to cut to the M/E — in the same way that you cut
between cameras and other sources.
•
When
M/E
is selected on the
PST
bus, the entire output of the M/E bank is
available on preset. This enables you to preset the M/E, and transition to it — in
the same way that you mix, cut and wipe to cameras and other sources.
•
When
M/E
is selected on the
KEY
bus, the entire output of the M/E bank is
available as a key source. This enables you to create a “look” on the M/E, and
key that look over the PGM source.

A
Cut
is an instant switch (or “take”) between two sources. There are two different ways to
perform a cut:
Use the following steps to perform a cut, without first previewing the next source:
1.
On any
PGM
or
BG
bus, simply press the button for the desired source. Use the
SHIFT
button if required to select a shifted source. Remember that on the PGM
bank, the
M/E
(re-entry) button can be selected in the same way.
Use the following steps to perform a cut using lookahead preview:
1.
In the
Next Transition Group
, press
BG
.
2.
On any
PST
bus, press the button for the desired “next” source. Use the
SHIFT
button if required to select a shifted source. Remember that on the PGM bank,
the
M/E
(re-entry) button can be preset in the same way.
3.
Press
CUT
. The source on
PST
instantly cuts to
PGM
(or
BG
) and the buses flip-
flop.
M/E
Tip
In practice, user’s will preset the M/E, recall a memory
register to the M/E only, and then transition to the new look.
Once complete, you can transition back to a straight source
on PGM, and free the M/E for the next memory register recall.
