Video Flow through the Switcher
The following diagram shows how video flows through your switcher, and illustrates the visual and
electronic concepts of upstream and downstream video images.
Synergy 100 MD Video Flow (with Optional MultiDSK installed)
The Synergy 100 MD is a single MLE switcher with 16 standard inputs. Video flows into the MLE, as
indicated above, where crosspoints can be selected for effects creation.
The Program and Preset buses are electronically the farthest upstream, the Effects Keys appear mid
stream and the Downstream Key appears downstream.
• Visually, all images on the Background bus appear behind both keyers. A key enabled on
the Effects Keyer appears visually over the Background bus (and all transitions), but
visually under the Downstream Keyer.
• A key enabled on the Downstream Keyer appears visually over the Background bus and
the Effects Keys.
• The Fade to Black function is electronically downstream of the entire switcher.
Regardless of the combination of keys selected, Fade to Black will visually take the
entire switcher to black.
