Chapter 5 Basic Operation
The switcher’s control panel is the main control interface for the user to select video
sources and take them to air during live production. On the control panel, the user will be
allowed to select the transition style, enable/disable various keyers, and add logos to the
program view.
The OSD menu allows the user to adjust transition settings, configure chroma keyers and PIP
windows, assign inputs and outputs and modify audio parameters.
This section describes how you can switch video sources on the control panel using simple
operations.

The selected source sent to the Program outputs will be
backlit Red on this row. Simple cuts
between sources can be performed on this row by pressing on the source number required
for the next shot.
This row of buttons is typically used to select the switcher’s Preview or Next source output
image. The selected source will be
backlit Green on this row. You can transition between
Preview and Program using the T-Bar , the CUT button or the AUTO button.
Note: The keys on the Program and Preview rows will still be active while the T-Bar is
moving.
Black and MATTE View

matte colour and color bars on Program and Preview screens.

For Hue value, Red is 0, Green is approximately 120 and Blue is approximately 240. For
