Broadcast Pix
V5
4.11.4 PowerAux Control
For the most part, traditional switchers offer only one layer to be sent to an Auxiliary
Output. All Broadcast Pix Granite switchers have the ability to overlay
any/all of Keys 1-6 onto one Aux output, this is known as PowerAux. This feature is
ideal for producing simultaneous program from the same system for two or three
different audiences, without the cost and complexity of a 2ME switcher. In addition,
PowerAux converts the selected input to the format assigned in Granite Output
Assignments and allows internal clips and graphics to be sent as an auxiliary output.
There are up to (3) two PowerAux outputs, which are applied to Aux 1 & Aux 2. Controls
are accessed through the Aux Modifier PixPads in the Device Control.
To Enable PowerAux:
1.
Click on the Broadcast Pix menu button.
2.
Select the
Setup, System Settings…
option, as shown on the right.
3.
In the System Settings window, click
on the
1ME
tab.
4.
Under the 1ME bus mode section,
select either the
5 keys, 1 graphic key,
1 PowerAux
option.
This option will give you 1 PowerAux output,
however the DVE capability on Key 6 will be
disabled and only animations or black can
be assigned to that keyer.
Or the
4 keys, 2 graphic keys, 2 PowerAux
option.
This option will give you 2 PowerAux outputs,
however the DVE capability on Key 5 & 6 will
be disabled and only animations or black can
be assigned to that keyer.
Or the
6 keys
option, which turns off the all
PowerAux outputs, and allows for 6 keyers all
with DVE functionality.
