2.

If

BKGD

is delegated alone, the

T-Bar

color is as shown in the table above, identifying which

M/E

is

delegated to the stripe. (When multiple

M/Es

are delegated, the first selected delegate determines the

color.)

3.

This color is at its brightest when the

PGM/A

source (effectively the

Program

row for a transition type

effect) is fully displayed. As the

T-Bar

is moved (or

AUTO

is pressed) to begin a transition, the color

gradually dims until the effect is complete. At that point, it pops back to full brightness, just as the
onscreen

T-Bar

returns to the top of its stroke.

4.

In a mixed delegate situation (

BKGD

along with one or more

KEY

layers) the

T-Bar

is lit it medium blue,

and conforms to the

BKGD

behavior described above.

5.

If one or more

KEY

layers are delegated without

BKGD

, the

T-Bar

color is purple. When the

KEY

layer (or,

for multi-

KEY

selections, the first

KEY

layer) is fully displayed,

T-Bar

lighting is at its brightest. Removing

the layer dims the illumination.

1.

Just as you would expect, the

T-Bar

uses industry-standard red/green color coding for

Program

and

Preview

rows.

2.

DSK-

only operations result in the

T-Bar

being lit in purple, similar to

M/Es

.

3.

Mixed mode (

BKGD

plus

DSK

delegates) result in blue illumination, after the fashion of

T-Bar

behavior

previously described for

M/Es

.

This brings us to the fourth and final column of the VMC1 control surface
