Basic Switcher Functions
This section provides basic information and general rules regarding Synergy 100 MD operation. The
following topics are discussed:
• Buttons
• Reverse SHIFT Mode
• Flip Flop Operations
Buttons
There are three basic types of buttons on the Synergy 100 MD switcher; Crosspoint , Function , and
Shift buttons. These buttons will act in either a latching mode, or a momentary mode, depending on
the action they are performing.
Button Modes
There are two basic modes of button operation on the switcher, latching buttons , such as crosspoint
buttons, and momentary buttons , such as
CUT
or
AUTO TRANS
buttons. The latching buttons will
illuminate when pressed and stay illuminated until either a certain function is performed, or another
button is selected. For example, if you press a crosspoint button, it will remain lit until you press
another crosspoint button in the same bus, or you perform a transition.
Momentary buttons will illuminate when they are pressed and then turn off on their own when their
function has been completed. For example, if you press the
AUTO TRANS
button, it will illuminate
and the switcher will perform a transition. When the transition is complete, the
AUTO TRANS
button will turn off, indicating that the Auto Transition has been completed.
Crosspoint Buttons
The crosspoint buttons are located on the Key , Program , and Preset buses on the control panel. These
latching buttons tell the switcher which video source is selected on each bus. These video sources can
be internally generated, such as
BLACK
and
COLOR BKGD
, or from external video sources that are
connected to the frame via BNC connectors. Refer to Chapter 7, “ BNC Configuration and Check ”
in the Synergy 100 MD Engineering Manual for details on setting up video sources.
Function Buttons
Function buttons make up the majority of the non-crosspoint buttons on the control panel and will
perform a specific function when pressed. These buttons can act in either a latching or momentary
mode, depending on the function the button is performing.
The latching buttons, such as the
AUTO SELECT
button in the Effects Keyers Group , will tell the
switcher to act in a certain way, depending on the button, or button combination, that is pressed.
The momentary buttons, such as the
AUTO TRANS
button in the Transition Control Group , will
tell the switcher to perform a certain task, and act upon the selections that have been made with the
latching buttons.
SHIFT Buttons
There are three SHIFT buttons on the Synergy 100 MD control panel, one for each bus. These shift
buttons are pressed and held in order to access video and key sources that have been mapped to
