channels

choose a

buffer

for any

KEY

channel using

its drop-down source menu.

Buffers

allow abundant use of animation throughout your productions

as virtual set elements, layered

graphics overlays, etc., all without tying up precious

Media Players

. (Consider that in addition to the

Buffer

cross-points in the main

Switcher

,

M/Es

also support

Buffers

. Given that M/Es are re-entrant, layering

possibilities are nearly endless.
