crosspoints beyond the number of available buttons on each bus. The mapping itself is performed
during the installation procedure.
Use the following procedure to select a shifted crosspoint on any bus:
1. Press and hold the
SHIFT
button.
2. Press the desired crosspoint.
3. Release both buttons.
The
SHIFT
button plus the selected source both stay lit, as indicated in the illustration below.
Key Bus — Shifted Crosspoint Selected
Reverse SHIFT Mode
A special mode called Reverse SHIFT can be activated during switcher setup. Activating the
Reverse SHIFT mode makes each Key Bus button shifted all the time — as the default state. For
example, if you press any crosspoint button, without pressing the
SHIFT
button, the shifted crosspoint
will be taken and the
SHIFT
button will be lit. If you hold the
SHIFT
button and press a crosspoint
button, an unshifted crosspoint will be taken.
Flip Flop Operations
The Program and Preset buses operate in flip-flop mode when a transition is performed. When you
perform a Cut , Dissolve , or Wipe transition between the Program and Preset buses, the two lit
crosspoint buttons swap places between the PGM and PST buses. This is called a flip-flop.
For example, if you select CAM 2 on the PGM bus and VTR 1 on the PST bus, CAM 2 will be on-air
and VTR 1 will be taken on-air during the next Background transition.
Note Active crosspoints 11 through 19 can only be accessed by using the
SHIFT button. When you select a shifted crosspoint, both the
crosspoint button and the shift button will remain lit.
Operating
Tip
When a shifted crosspoint has been selected, pressing another
crosspoint button without holding the
SHIFT
button will select an
unshifted crosspoint.
Note The Reverse Shift Mode applies to the Key bus only. Crosspoints on
the PGM and PST buses will be unaffected.
Operating
Tip
A Background transition is between the PGM bus and PST bus, and
does not involve the Key bus.
