2) Program Bus
The Program Bus (PGM) is the bank’s bottom layer, which is used to select the
switcher’s primary output video. Please note:
~
Except for SHIFT , all buttons on the PGM Bus are mutually exclusive,
including the re-entry button.
3) Preset and Phantom Key Bus
This bus has two functions:
~
First (just like on an M/E), the PST Bus is used to select the next
background source.

Second, because there is no “physical” Key Bus in the PGM Bank , the
PST Bus doubles as the Key Assign Bus — the bank’s top layer. To
assign a key source to the downstream keyer, press and hold the DSK
button, then select the desired key source from the buttons on PST .
Please note:
~
Except for SHIFT , all buttons on the PST Bus are mutually exclusive,
including the re-entry button.

When a PST source is taken to Program with a transition, the source
“flips” to PGM . In Chapter 7, refer to the “ Understanding Flip-flop
Mode ” section on page 269 for details.
4) Re-entry Buttons

output of the M/E into the video flow of the selected bus. For example:

as a key source.

All SHIFT buttons are latching. Press to access additional sources as follows:
~
Sources 11 through 20 on the FSN-150.
In Chapter 7, refer to the “ Understanding Switcher Layers ” section on page 268 for a
discussion of video layers within the switcher.
