Additional Output Setup
The Output Setup Menu also allows you to set up four specific output parameters:
• Clean Feed Setup
• Fade To Black Setup
• MLE Tally Setup
Each topic is discussed in detail in the following sections.
Clean Feed Setup
The Clean Feed Menu allows you to set the point from which the clean feed signal is derived. The
selected signal then appears on the Clean Feed outputs, as configured in the section “ Configuring the
Outputs ” on page 8-3.
Use the following procedure to set up the Clean Feed output.
1. Navigate to the Output Menu 1-2 as follows:
• Press
HOME B MORE B Setup B Installation B Output
.
2. Press

3. Use the MLE knob to select the single MLE from which the feed originates. Only one
MLE can be selected at a time.
4. Use the Clean from knob to select the point from which the output is taken in the video
path of the MLE. You can select between the following:
• Before Keys — Select this option to have the clean feed output pulled after the
program/preset bus, but before the two keys are added.
• Btwn Key 1&2 — Select this option to have the clean feed output pulled
downstream of the first MLE keyer, but before the second key.
This completes the procedure for turning on the Clean Feed output.
Fade To Black Setup
The Fade To Black Menu allows you to select the combination of MLEs that you want to fade to
black when a Fade to Black transition is initiated. You can select any number of MLEs, each of which
will fade simultaneously.
The function is useful for dual aspect ratio productions, in which one MLE is routed to the NTSC
transmitter (in 4x3 format) and another MLE is routed to DTV transmitter (in 16x9 format). Both
MLEs must fade simultaneously.
