where the hold event is placed in the
custom control. To continue the custom
control, you must press the custom control
button again, or use a GPI trigger. The

Held when the custom control is at hold.
Hold CC
Quickly put a hold event in a custom
control. The custom control will hold until
the Run Held Group event is triggered for
the group that the Hold For Group event
was assigned to. For example, if you
insert the Hold For Group A event into two
custom controls and Hold For Group B
into another two custom controls, the Run
Held Group A event will only resume the
first two (group A) custom control. The
remaining two (group B) custom controls
will remain holding until the Run Held
Group B event is triggered. The mnemonic
for the custom control shows HldFor Run
when the custom control is at hold.
Hold For Group
Quickly put a hold event in a custom
control. The custom control will hold until
the Run All Held CCs event is triggered.
The mnemonic for the custom control
shows HldFor Run when the custom
control is at hold.
Hold For Run
Have a custom control run continuously
until you stop it, or a Stop Custom Control
event is executed from another custom
control.

if instructed to do so by Ross Video
Technical Support.
Notify End CC
Like a Pause CC, except the preroll time
assigned to a VTR, GPI, or camera
selected on the preset bus is automatically
subtracted from the length of the pause.
For example, if you want a 12 frame
pause before taking a camera on-air and
the camera has a 3 frame preroll, you
would set the pause to 12 frames. When
you run the custom control, the switcher
will pause for 9 frames, send the
command to the camera, wait another 3
frames for the camera preroll, and then
move to the next command.
