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
–
