Image creation operation This section describes the operation of a switcher bank shared between main and sub as an example. To switch between main and sub, press the [MAIN] button or [SUB] button in the cross-point control block. Note You can also switch between main and sub using the [MAIN] button and [SUB] button in the transition control block and transition control block (simple type). 1 Press the [MAIN] button, turning it on. If the [SUB] button is lit, press the [SUB] button, turning it off. 2 Create the main side image. 3 Press the [MAIN] button, turning it off. 4 Press the [SUB] button, turning it on. 5 Create the sub side image. 6 Press the [MAIN] button, turning it on. Both the [MAIN] button and [SUB] button should be turned on. Note When both the [MAIN] button and [SUB] button are selected, the control panel shows the status of the main side. 7 Execute a transition. Both main side and sub side images are switched. Multi Program 2 Mode Restrictions In multi program 2 mode, settings and functions have the following restrictions. • A key wipe has the following restrictions. - Only standard wipe patterns can be used - Pattern mix cannot be used - Split, pairing, modulation, spring, and spiral cannot be used - Edge fill color matte is flat color only - Four types of multi replication are available for selection • The key priority cannot be changed, depending on the transition. • Transition preview cannot be used. • DMEs can be used in up to two locations simultaneously on main and sub. - When using a DME wipe only 1-channel mode DME wipe: Can be used separately on main and sub. 2-channel mode or 3-channel mode DME wipe: Can be used on either main or sub only. - When using a processed key only One DME channel: Can be used on two keys (main and/or sub). Two to four DME channels: Can be used on one key (main or sub). - When using the image effect function Can be used on two backgrounds (background A bus/ B bus on main and/or sub). • On a sub switcher bank, configuration data cannot be copied or swapped. • On a sub switcher bank, the "AUTO PVW" utility command cannot be used. • In the following cases, a transition using the fader lever may not be performed correctly. - When flip-flop mode/bus fixed mode are set differently on main and sub - For 2-stroke operations, such as a pattern limit or preset color mix • On a sub switcher bank, split faders cannot be used. • When a snapshot/effect timeline is recalled simultaneously on main and sub, the following data is reflected in the settings for main. - Keys - Switcher bank operation mode - DME external video bus and utility 1 bus • When a snapshot/effect timeline is recalled which has a different operation mode setting than the current switcher bank operation mode, the following occurs. - If the operation mode is not a target of the snapshot/ effect timeline, the current operation mode configuration is used. - If the operation mode is a target of the snapshot/effect timeline, the operation mode configuration data saved in the snapshot/effect timeline is applied and then the other data is recalled. • The settings of the [MACRO ATTACH ENABLE] button/[MCRO ATTCH ENBL] button in the crosspoint control block are common to main and sub. • The setting of the [SHOW KEY] button in the key control block is common to main and sub. • On DME utility 1 bus and DME utility 2 bus cross-point buttons, it is not possible to set separate macro attachments on main and sub. • Link settings are maintained even when the switcher bank operation mode is changed. Change the link settings, as required. • Since key 1 to key 8 are shared between main and sub, if the main and sub fader lever positions are different and you move the fader lever, the image changes instantaneously to the state of the most recently moved fader lever. 238
