An M/E bank is essentially a video layer which, in combination with other switcher banks,
enables you to create the overall “look” of your program. Please note:
•
Three buses are provided for selecting sources: BG , PST and KEY .
•
Sources are the same in each vertical column of buttons. For example, if CAM 2
is mapped to button 2, CAM 2 appears on button 2 on all switcher buses .
•
The M/E bank has an associated M/E Transition Section to the right. In this
section, you set up “effects” and transitions using the sources selected in the M/E.
•
Using the Memory/Transition Section , you can store all or part of an M/E bank.
•
An M/E bank provides tally indications. In Chapter 7, refer to the
“
Understanding Tally ” section for details.
•
An M/E bank operates in “flip-flop” mode. In Chapter 7, refer to the
“
Understanding Flip-flop Mode ” section on page 269 for details.
•
Button color has important significance in the M/E. In Chapter 7, refer to the
“
Understanding Button Color ” section on page 267 for details.

Following are descriptions of each section:
1) Programmable Displays
Above each button on the Key Bus , a Programmable Display shows the source
names that are assigned during setup (e.g., CAM1 , VTR2 , etc.). The labels are
dynamic — if the source is mapped to another button, the label follows.
When the SEL button is toggled to Custom , all displays change to show the
custom control functions that have been mapped to the associated buttons. Refer
to the “
Key Control Section ” heading on page 71 for details.
If an error occurs to either the shifted or unshifted input, the Programmable
Display turns red. In Chapter 7, refer to the “ Understanding Error Messages ”
section on page 271 for full details.
