Select ME 1 and s source on the background

bus of ME 2. Notice that ME 1 is not being

used as the background of ME 2.

Configurable Program Outputs (MultiFeed)

Each ME can have multiple program and

preview outputs that can be configured to

include only select keys or replace the

background and preset buses with the utility

buses.

Figure 3: Configurable Program Output Example

Including or excluding a key from a program

output does not change the on-air status of the

key, only whether the key is included in a

particular output when the key is on-air. The

key must still be transitioned on or off-air from

the transitions area.

To Configure a Program Output

Press the

SEL

button for the ME that you

want to configure an output for and press

Program Assignment

Select the keys that you want included in

each output for the ME.

The output must be set to FlexiMode from the

Installation menu or the key selection buttons will be gray.

Select the buses to use for the background

of each output.
