Section 10.1 Switcher
Switcher Buttons
Transition Mode
FIGURE 56
AV-HLC100 uses a quick and convenient single-row
Switcher
(Figure 56) to accomplish operations that
would otherwise take at least two steps using the
Control Surface
.
Thus a single click on a
Switcher
button thus does several things as follows:
•
The clicked source is assigned to AV-HLC100’s internal ‘
Preview
’ row (associated audio sources
may also be affected by
Switcher
activity – see Section 13.8.4).
•
AV-HLC100 performs a transition to display the designated (
Preview
) source by applying
transition defined by the
Transition Mode
settings at right.
10.1.1 AUX Video Output
The Switcher row can also be used to determine what video source is sent to the
AUX
video bus (carried
by the SDI 2 and the AUX NDI outputs).
As noted in Section 8.3.2, the default source can be either
Program
or (clean)
Preview
. However, by
holding down
ALT
on the keyboard while punching a
Switcher
row button, any Switcher source can be
sent to AUX instead. An
AUX
tag is added to the
Switcher
display to identify the selected source. To
revert to the default
AUX
source, roll the mouse over this tag and click the (x) gadget that it shows.
