Note The shift button cannot be used in a delegation button row (1st row) on a cross-point control block in key/AUX bus delegation mode. Re-entry buttons You can assign re-entry signals to the cross-point button rows of the cross-point control block/AUX bus control block for use as re-entry buttons. Re-entry buttons are used to load an image created on one switcher bank as an input signal on another switcher bank. For example, to load the image created on M/E-1 as background B on M/E-2, press the M/E-1 re-entry button in the cross-point button row for background B bus on M/E-2. Notes • M/E-1 to M/E-3 and P/P re-entry signals are assigned to the cross-point buttons by default. To use M/E-4 and M/E-5 re-entry signals, first they must be assigned to the cross-point buttons. For details about assigning buttons, see "Creating a Cross-Point Assign Table" (page 383). • You can assign re-entry signal selection buttons to the cross-point pad of a cross-point control block/AUX bus control block on the ICP-X7000. For details about assigning buttons, see "Setting a Cross-Point Pad" (page 410). Re-entry signal restrictions • Up to four re-entry stages are supported. • Selecting a re-entry signal within the same switcher bank is not supported. • When the system signal format is 1080P or 1080i, a signal delay may occur when using four stacked reentry stages. Extended re-entry When extended re-entry is enabled, selection of re-entry signals within the same switcher bank becomes possible. For details, see "Setting Extended Re-Entry" (page 390). Selecting a Bus (CrossPoint Control Block) The cross-point button rows in a cross-point control block are shared by multiple buses. Buses are assigned to the cross-point button rows for use. Operation Mode of a Button Row The operation mode of button rows in a cross-point control block can be selected from the following three modes. By default, they are set to key bus mode on the ICP-X7000 and to key/AUX bus delegation mode on the ICP-X1000 series. For details about setting the operation mode, see "Setting a Button Row in a Cross-Point Control Block" (page 408). Key bus mode Uses the 1st row and 2nd row as cross-point button rows for the bus/utility function selected by the delegation buttons. Uses the 3rd row as a cross-point button row for background A bus, and the 4th row for background B bus. You can assign the following buses to the 1st row and 2nd row. Key 1 bus to key 8 bus, utility 1 bus/2 bus, DME external video bus, DME utility 1 bus/2 bus Free assign mode Uses the 1st row to 4th row as cross-point button rows for the bus/utility function selected by the delegation buttons. Key/AUX bus delegation mode Uses the 1st row as a delegation button row and the 2nd row as a cross-point button row for the bus/utility function selected by the 1st row buttons. Uses the 3rd row as a cross-point button row for background A bus, and the 4th row for background B bus. Notes • You can also change the bus assignment using dual background bus mode and utility bus mode. For details, see "Dual background bus mode" (page 86) and "Utility bus mode" (page 86). • You can also select a utility function when a utility/ shotbox bank is assigned to a cross-point button row. For details, see "Utility Functions" (page 231). 84
