Ross Vision - Display

Ops 4–6 • Switcher Basics Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
Between the Key Bus and Background Bus is a row of mnemonic displays that show the name of
the video source that is assigned to each crosspoint button on the Background Bus. If you are
using a different Bus Map for the Key Bus, the mnemonics only list the video sources for the
Background Bus. The Mnemonic Display option must be installed.
If you have the Panel Glow option installed, the Crosspoint Buses are lit with the color you have
assigned to that MLE when they are assigned to an MLE.
If the Panel Row is assigned to an Aux Bus, the mnemonics for the Panel Row show the sources
for the Aux Bus, or AuxKey, and not the MLE.
Key Bus
The Key Bus is used to select the video source that you want to use as the key. The Key Bus is
shared among all the keyers on the MLE or AuxKey. If the Panel Row is assigned to an MLE, the
keyer that is selected on the Effects Keyer Module sets which keyer the Key Bus is assigned to.
For example, if the SEL button for Keyer 2 is lit on the Effects Keyer Module, then the Key Bus
is assigned to Keyer 2. The key that the Key Bus is currently assigned to can also be seen on the
second line of the display.
If the Panel Row is assigned to an AuxKey, the Key Bus is assigned to the keyer of the AuxKey.
If the Panel Row is assigned to an Aux Bus, the Key Bus is assigned to the background of the
Aux Bus.
Background Bus
The Background Bus is used to select the video source that is used as the background video that
the keys will appear on top of. The Background Bus is dedicated and always represents what is
going to be the basis of the MLE or AuxKey output.
When the Crosspoint Bus is assigned to an AuxKey, the Background Bus is used to select the
video source you want to use on the selected AuxKey.
Preset Bus
The Preset Bus is used to select the video source that you want to transition to with the next
Background transition.
If the Panel Row is assigned to an AuxKey, the Preset Bus is assigned to the preset of the
AuxKey.
Display
The display on the Panel Row shows what the Panel Row and Key Bus of the group are assigned
to (Figure 4.6). What is shown on the display depends on what the Panel Row is assigned to.
Assigned to MLE
When the Panel Row is assigned to an MLE, the first line of the display shows the MLE that the
Panel Row is assigned to, which keyer and Squeeze & Tease channel the Key Bus is assigned to,
and what is selected on the Key Bus.
Figure 4.6 Assigned to MLE — Panel Row Display
In the example shown (Figure 4.6), the Panel Row is assigned to MLE 1 and Camera 5 is
selected on Keyer 2.
