The Live Output (PGM) is indicated by the Red Button on the Crosspoint Bus, to switch from one source to
another simply press the required Crosspoint Button on the live bus.
In this example PGM/A is the live bus, and Crosspoint 6 is the live channel. To switch to a different channel
simply press one of the other Crosspoint Buttons on the PGM/A bus.
The live bus may be either the PGM/A bus or the PST/B bus according to which Bus Mode has been set
(

button. There are also LED Bus indicators adjacent to the T-Bar - The live bus is indicated by a green LED
Performing a Transition Manually (Using the T-Bar)
You can use the T-Bar to perform a manual transition from one source to another.
You can select between Wipe or Mix.
Wipe
will perform a wipe with the selected wipe pattern. There are nine preset wipe patterns to choose from.
Each wipe pattern can have various border and edge settings applied (
see Setting Wipe Preferences Page
34
) In the example below the central wipe pattern has been selected, and it is illuminated amber, to select a
different wipe pattern simply press the wipe pattern button that you want.
The wipe direction can be set using the Wipe direction selector switch.
There are three options:
N
Sets the wipe pattern to the normal direction
N/R
Sets the wipe direction to alternate. When the first transition is completed, the next transition
will run in the opposite direction. For example if you wipe from A to B top to bottom, when
you wipe back from B to A the wipe will automatically be bottom to top.
R
Sets the wipe pattern to reverse.
