Section 2 — Basic Maestro Operation

Save Assignment Set (Board Setup Save/Recall)

Maestro can store up to 100 source assignment sets (board setups) for later
recall. This allows rapid re-assignment of sources during the broadcast day.

Entire panel setups (

All

), or subsets of

Key, Mix

, and

Bkgnd

memories can be

stored or recalled. Key memories are used to save the key sources for each
of the keyers. Mix memories are used to save audio sources for each of the
mixers. Background memory is used to save the source assignments pro-
grammed for the background operator-assignable source control buttons.

Note

The source assignment memory requires the operator to manually save
information, while the source setting memory automatically stores adjust-
ments (audio level, clip level, etc.) made to a source while that source is on
PST, Key, or Mix. For example, whenever a VTR is assigned to a button–
whether by Recall or by Send–the previous audio level for that VTR will be
effective.

Emergency Alert System Switching

In USA installations, the GPIO connector on the Maestro rear panel can be
connected to an Emergency Alert System (EAS) receiver. The receiver will,
on receipt of an EAS message, automatically trigger the Maestro system to
select the appropriate video keyer and audio mixer on the Preset and the
Program buses, and then simultaneously transmit the emergency message.
