Button Details
Main Source Button Characteristics
The main source buttons display an 8-character source name on the button:
The main source buttons use the following color scheme:
However, the panel can be configured so that buttons for selected main sources are green,
white, yellow, or red. Unselected main source buttons can also be green, white, yellow, or red.
The color of a button that is selected need not be the same color as a button that is unselected.
Status
The touchscreen displays the source status. If status is “OK,” there is no message text. These are
possible fault conditions:
The numbers here show the priority of the messages (in case more than one condition arises).
“Hot Cuts”
When you press a button on the program bus, whether main source, video effect, or voice-over,
the panel will request the Imagestore 750 to perform a “hot cut” on the program bus. The Imag-
estore 750 performs the hot cut without benefit of a transition.
S
Hot cuts are not recommended.
Video Effects
Selected video effects overlay the selected main video source. Video effects are cumulative and
apply in the order defined by the Imagestore 750.
DSKs are applied in this order: DSK1, DSK2, DSK3, DSK4.
If the Imagestore 750 has a DVE unit, it can insert the DVE in the video stream in one of three
places: before DSK1, before DSK2, or before DSK3.
Any one effect is electronically downstream and visually on top of all the effects preceding it in
the order. Any one effect is electronically upstream and visually under of all the effects following
it in the order.
“Downstream” effects modify “upstream” effects and the main source. Upstream effects never
modify downstream effects. For example, a DVE might transform the main source and DSK1, but
not DSK2 or DSK3.
Dark Button is not in use.
Low Green Not selected.
High Green Selected video.
High Amber An unselected video source is non-sync or LOS, or an unselected audio
source is LOS.
