Hold down the EFFCT button to cause LED display columns at left to show the names of effects currently
assigned to presets in effect bin for the currently delegated layer of the Switcher bus assigned to the stripe.

and selection will only affect that delegated layer.

T-BAR
The T-Bar is perhaps the most recognizable component of a professional video control surface, and arguably
one of the most important. Stripe surfaces provide standard functionality by this means, along with
exceptional system feedback. Obviously, you can pull the
T-Bar to manually modify the progress of a
transition between delegated video layers. The T-Bar can also be used to zoom M/Es configured with LiveSet
virtual sets.
I LLUMINATION
The T-Bar employs colorful illumination to provide feedback and status updates based on your control
surface selections and operations. The lighting schemes applied to T-Bars controlling both M/Es and MAIN
video layers reinforce traditional button illumination in a way that soon becomes instinctive, and which
provides unparalleled confidence in use. The following tables provide a color code for your convenience.
M/E T RANSITIONS
1. For an M/E with a transition assigned as the Background effect, control surface T-Bar illumination
conforms to the color scheme of the M/E tabs on the Live Desktop .
