(An exception is made when newly selecting multiple delegates with control settings that do not
initially match. For example, if DSK1 and DSK 2 have different sources assigned and are newly
multi-selected in the delegate group, no buttons on the DSK row are lit.)
3.2.4 MAIN TRANSITION GROUP
The controls in this group are analogous to
those in the corresponding area on the
Live
Desktop , performing the same functions in
much the same manner.
(In one deviation , switcher layer positioning is
provided by a single, shared set of Positioner
tools, discussed later.)
DELEGATE
As on the Live Desktop , active delegate buttons remain lit. Multiple selections can be performed
by pressing one or more buttons at the same time.
DELEGATE buttons determine what video layers the main Take , Auto , and T-Bar affect, and the
scope of the Select and Rate knobs.
FTB
Note that FTB (Fade to Black), although not located beside the other delegates as it is in the user
interface, is a delegate button – not an action button – and works exactly the same manner as its
Live Desktop twin. Note that FTB has no dedicated transition controls; its fade in/out duration is
derived from the BKGD transition setting.
Hint: When FTB is displayed on Program Out, it obscures all other Switcher activity. To alert you
to this important fact, the FTB button flashes for several seconds if you should make a new
TRANSITION DELEGATE selection that does not include FTB.
