4.11 Auxiliary Output Control
As described in section 1.12, there are various modes in which the 2ME panel can
operate in. Depending on which mode is activated, the Auxiliary outputs of the Slate
system may be disabled. Keep in mind that ME 1 is essentially an auxiliary output which
can be used in place of the Aux operation.
4.11.1 Aux Output on a Slate 5008G
Slate 5008G switchers have assignable video outputs on the Slate switcher card called
out A, B, C, D or E.
Out A - E can be assigned to Program, Preview, Clean feed (of any Key under
Clean
Feed Assignments
under the
Setup
menu), ME 1 Program, ME 1 Preview or Aux 1.
To assign an Output to Aux 1, in BPswitcher, go to the
Setup
drop down menu, to
Slate

Save,
as described in
section 1.4.
To operate Aux 1:

On the Control Panel, press the
[Aux 1]
PixButton in the Destinations Row and it
will illuminate orange, as shown below.
2.
Select the source you wish to assign to Aux 1 by pressing its
[Source]
button in the
Sources Row, and it will illuminate orange, and the video will be sent to the selected
output. In addition, the Aux Tab of the Multi-View will show the name of the source
selected if the Aux/About Tab is selected as a floating window. You may select any
source for Aux 1, whether it is an external live source or an internal source, such as
a clip, graphic, logo or still playing from inside the switcher.
