Video Sources
The switcher has access to three basic types of
video sources, external, internal, and follows.
All video sources can be assigned to video source
buttons. By pressing a video source button on
a bus, the video source assigned to that button
is selected on that bus.
• External — External video sources come
from cameras, video servers, character
generators, or other external devices into the
switcher.
• Internal — Internal video sources come from
internally generated video, such as Media
-Store channels, matte color, and black.
• Follows — Follow video sources allow you
to have one bus follow what is selected on
another bus. For example, you can assign an
Aux Bus to follow ME P/P Background so that
a source selected on the background bus of
ME P/P is also selected on the Aux Bus.
