System Bar Example
Switched Preview Button Group
The Switched Preview button group is the second button group from the right on the
System Bar.
Switched Preview is a special output of the switcher that permits previewing any source.
Typically this output is connected to a dedicated Switched Preview monitor. The Switched
Preview button group is used to control what signal is routed to that output.
ME 1, ME 2, ME 3, ME 4, PGM, eDPM, and Pvw PRI, are radio buttons, and Sec PVW is a
toggle button (on/off ).
ME 1 - PGM buttons—Routes the primary preview of that M/E to the Switched Preview
output. When Sec PVW is toggled on, routes the secondary preview of that M/E (if it has
been split) to that output.
eDPM button—Routes the A output of the eDPM to the Switched Preview output. When
Sec PVW is toggled on, routes the C output of the eDPM to that output.
Pvw PRI button— Preview Prime is a specially named bus that is available on the Switched
Preview button group, and can be mapped as a delegation on the Local Aux Module. When
the Switched Preview
Pvw PRI button is on, the currently selected source on that Preview
Prime bus is routed to the Switched Preview output. When the Local Aux Module has also
been delegated to PVW Pri, any source mapped on the Local Aux Module buttons can then
be selected for display on the Switched Preview output.
Sec PVW button—As described above, when the Sec PVW button is on, it selects the
secondary preview of an M/E, or the C output of the eDPM for display on the Switched
Preview output. This button is inactive when
Pvw PRI is selected, since that bus has only
one output.
Macro Editing Button Group
The Macro Editing buttons (Figure 130) work in conjunction with the source select rows
delegated to macros:
Attch Enble button—Turns on/off macro attachments.
Show Attch button—Flashes all source select buttons that have a macro attached.
Repl Attch button—Substitutes a macro for the button’s normal action.
Delete button—Enables the macro delete operation. Pressing a button on a bus row
delegated to macros deletes the macro and ends the delete operation.
Insert Delay button—Changes the delegated macro row(s) to display Time Delay on the
SNDs in increments of seconds and tenths of a second (1st shift level—unshifted) or fields
(2nd shift level).
Record button—Enables the record operation. Pressing a button on a bus delegated to
Macros starts the recording, the recording is ended by pressing the
Record button again or
pressing the
Macro button (on the Source Select Module) again.
