Using the Sequence Editor 

 

The  Sequence  Editor  is  the  TV  Production  Unit‟s  main  hub  of  operation.  From 
here you can create and alter sequences and their constituent screens. You can al-
so  perform  other  functions  such  as  previewing  sequences  or  shutting  down  the 
Production Unit. To access the Sequence Editor when the Production Unit is run-
ning in Display Mode, either press 

Esc+Pause/Break

, or 

both mouse buttons. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
A 

Screen

 can contain a graphic, text, scroller, clock, sound, or a combination of 

these  elements,  which  are  displayed  together  at  the  same  time.  Screens  are 
grouped  together  in  a  sequential  list  to  form  a 

Sequence

.  When  a  sequence  is 

displayed it will show each screen in order from the first screen to the last. When 
the sequence is finished, it will restart from the beginning, continuously looping.
