FUNCTION OF THE BUSES

Background A

The Background A bus indicates which background picture is currently selected.
Pressing another button in this bus performs a hard cut to another background pic-
ture. The selected background picture can be viewed on the corresponding M/E
program monitor.

Background Preset B

The Background Preset B bus serves to select the background picture involved
in the next transition. The preset background picture and the selected modifications
(keys, for example) can be viewed on the corresponding M/E preview monitor.

The background and preset buses operate in “Flip-Flop” mode. After completion
of the background transition, the preset source is automatically selected on the
background bus and the original background source is automatically “flipped” to the
preset bus.

The background and preset bus can be changed from the “international mode”
(preset bus below) to “preset upper” mode (background bus below). For further in-
formation please refer to the Installation menu.
