In some cases you use two buttons together to perform a function. This is normally
done using the shift button in combination with some other button. A plus (+) sym-
bol indicates this. For example, you might be asked to enter
SHIFT
+
PIPS
to start Mul-
tiPIP mode. This means press and hold down the
SHIFT
button, press the
PIPS
button,
then release both.
Sources,
Channels, and
Outputs
The terms Source, Channel, and Output appear extensively throughout this guide. It’s
important to understand the differences between them.
A Source is a physical device, such as a VCR, that provides a video and/or audio sig-
nal.
A Channel is an internal MXProDV video signal path. The video and/or audio signal
originating from a source travels along one of the channels.
An Output displays or records a mixed signal (such as the video on one channel, a
transition, and the video on another channel) on an output device. The output
device might be a recording VCR or a live broadcast signal.
