Active Source Highlights
You can have up to four input sources. MXProDV labels the sources A, B, C, and D.
(There is also a fifth, built-in source — the mixer’s own background color generator.)
All transitions start with one source, called the CURRENT source, and end with
another, called the NEXT source.
Colored highlights help identify one video source from another. Yellow highlights
the CURRENT video source (above the preview image), and green highlights the
NEXT video source (below it).
Some sources provide audio only, others provide both video and audio. The
speaker icon (rather than a colored highlight) indicates the CURRENT and
NEXT audio selections.
The headphones icon identifies the channel to which the headphone output
is currently directed. If 4-channel audio output is selected, the icon is pre-
ceded by a 1 or a 2 to indicate which pair is being played.
In addition to the highlights described above, indicator lights between the
CUT
and
NEXT
buttons indicate the currently selected video sources.
Brief descriptions of the Transitions Menu, Highlights, and Indicators follow. For
more detailed information, see Chapter 5, Transitions.
Color Selector
The Color Selector shows current choices for background color, border color, and
border style. The selector shows the actual colors, and also shows the numeric values
associated with each. This example shows a background color 5, border color 7, and
border style 5.
You can cycle through all available colors for each component using the
BG COLOR
,
BORDER COLOR
, and
BORDER STYLE
buttons. See “Working with Colors” beginning on
page 53.
