20-2. Sequence Group Operation
Sequence Group in the HVS-490 is a strong tool for sequence bus operations and allows you to
flexibly manage video buses in sequences. Once buses are grouped, sequence operations using
multiple buses can be performed only by selecting a group.
In the previous chapter, sequences are operated with only one bus, M/E1 BKGD). This chapter,
however, shows how to operate sequences having multiple buses using the following operation
examples:
M/E1 BKGD and M/E1KEY1 to M/E1KEY4 are grouped in Group 1. (See Sec. 20-2-1.)
M/E2 BKGD and M/E2KEY1 to M/E2KEY4 are grouped in Group 2. (See Sec. 20-2-1.)
Create and store sequences based on Group 1 or Group 2. (See Sec. 20-2-2)
Select to narrow down the bus data while storing or loading sequences. (See Sec. 20-2-3.)
20-2-1. Assigning Buses to a Group
Assigning five M/E1 buses to GROUP 1
(1) Open the [SEQUENCE > GROUP SELECT] menu.
(2) Turn F1 to select GROUP1.
(3) Tap M1BG, M1K1, M1K2, M1K3 and M1K4 to select 5 buses. This allows you to
simultaneously use these M/E1 buses for sequences under GROUP 0.
Assigning five M/E2 buses to GROUP 2
(1) Turn F1 to select GROUP2.
(2) Tap M2BG, M2K1, M2K2, M2K3 and M2K4 to select 5 buses. This allows you to
simultaneously use these M/E2 buses for sequences under GROUP 2.
20-2-2. Creating, Editing and Playing Sequences
Once group settings are complete, select GROUP1 or GROUP2 in the [SEQUENCE > EDIT]
menu, then create, edit and play sequences in the same manner as described in Sec 20-1.
If GROUP1 is selected, five M/E1 buses can be simultaneously used for sequence operations.
If GROUP2 is selected, five M/E2 buses can be simultaneously used for sequence operations.
Note that group bus assignments are not fixed and able to change accordingly.
Be careful, however, that a video bus cannot belong to two or more groups, but to only one
group simultaneously, although buses can be assigned to any group.
