Figure 6.2  MC1-PANEL-16 —SqueezeBack Effects Controls

1. EFF SEL Button and Status Field

The 

Effect # 

status field on the display reports the last applied effect and whether it is on or off air, or currently 

on the Preset Bus. While the squeeze effect is on air:

› the 

EFF SEL

 button is locked (read-only, and dimly lit in the On Air Color). Even though you can still adjust 

the options in the SqueezeBack Effects tabs, we suggest not doing so since all effect changes are immediately 
applied.

› you are unable to change the background or keys with a transition. However, you can still hot-punch a source 

or key on the Program bus. However, hot-punching a source on the Program bus will take the squeeze effect 
off air. Hot-punching keys on/off will not take the squeeze effect off air.

2. SQUEEZE Button

Selecting this button applies the squeeze effect (as specified using the 

EFF SEL

 button) to the next transition. 

Note that the 

SQUEEZE

 button will be selected (lit) but not locked out when the transition type is Squeeze, or 

when a squeeze effect is on air.

3. SQZ INCL Button

Selecting this button performs a SqueezeBack effect with the transition. You must pre-configure your 
SqueezeBack presets, then select the preset you want to apply to the transition before executing your transition. 

For More Information on...

• configuring the SqueezeBack presets, refer to the 

MC1-MK Operation Guide

.

Performing Transitions with SqueezeBack Presets

Keep the following in mind when performing transitions with SqueezeBack presets:

• You can pre-define up to four different SqueezeBack Presets (Effects 1-4)
• A squeeze effect does not consume any existing keyers and you can specify any of the logo channels to use as a 

reveal source for that effect.

• When the video format is 480i 59.94, the Line 21 closed captioning is re-inserted from the video source into the 

output when the 

NTSC Pass Line 21

 setting is enabled. Refer to the 

MC1-MK Installation Guide

 for details.

• Hot-punches on the Program bus can be performed within an on air squeeze effect.
• Squeeze effect transitions are also supported under the Presmaster automation protocol. Refer to the 

MC1-MK 

Installation Guide

 for details on this protocol.
