7. 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.)
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The T-Bar is always lit in orange for M/E’s with a LiveSet effect assigned as the Background effect.

4. Just as you would expect, the T-Bar uses industry-standard red/green color coding for Program and
Preview rows.
5. DSK- only operations result in the T-Bar being lit in purple, similar to M/Es .
6. Mixed mode ( BKGD plus DSK delegates) result in blue illumination, after the fashion of T-Bar behavior
previously described for M/Es .

POSITIONER
The joystick provides a very versatile input mechanism. Joystick operations can affect many things, including
KEY or DSK layers, M/Es , PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) cameras, or even Media Players .
