Building and editing panels
AB Mixer Button The AB M IXER object produces a toggle button that allows operators to
transition the SDI video source that is being played out on the specified
channel(s) and device(s) from one video input source to another (Input A
to Input B, and vice versa).
Which channels and devices are associated with the AB Mixer Button
object is determined by setting the object’s D
EVICES and C HANNELS
properties.
When adding an AB Mixer object to a panel, we recommend also adding
a
T RANSITION T YPE object, which allows operators to select the transition
style for the A/B mix. If the Transition Type object is not selected, then the
AB Mixer uses the last transition type used or the device’s default
transition type.
The rate at which the transition from one video source to the other occurs
is determined by the AB Mixer object’s T
RANSITION R ATE property, whose
value can be set from 1 and 200 fields, or 0 to indicate a cut transition.
Take Button Adding a T AKE B UTTON object to a panel allows operators to manually
trigger a T AKE command to all of the objects associated with the same
channel(s) and device(s), which is determined by setting the Take Button
object’s D
EVICES and C HANNELS properties
When the Take button is selected in Production mode, armed objects and
objects (i.e. primitives or the panel) that contain actions associated with
the O
N T AKE event are immediately executed. This means that multiple
events can be triggered simultaneously. See page 7-7 for more
information.
