Switcher Basics

This chapter gives an overview of how video is controlled

by your switcher. This includes video sources, video

layering and re-entry, and preview. For information on

setting up video inputs, refer to the Setup Guide that

came with your switcher.

Video Sources

The switcher has access to two basic types of video

sources, external and internal. All video sources can be

assigned to video source buttons. By pressing a video

source button on a bus, the video source assigned to that

button is selected on that bus.

• External — External video sources come from

cameras, video servers, character generators, or

other external devices into the switcher.

• Internal — Internal video sources come from

internally generated video, such as Media-Store

channels, matte color, and black.

To Select a Source on a Bus

To select a video source on a bus, you must identify the

ME, MiniME

to assign a video source to, and then press the source

The user buttons on the control panel can be assigned to

any ME, MiniME

™

access, or any button can be held to allow you to select

buttons on the row.

For information on assigning video inputs to source

buttons, refer to the Setup Guide that came with your

switcher.

Video Layering

How video is layered in the output of the switcher

depends on how an ME is re-entered onto the other, and

what keyers are on-air for the ME. If we assume that

each ME has all keyers on-air, and that ME 1 is re-entered

into the ME 2, the layering will start with ME 1

Background and progress to ME 2 Keyer 4.
