DELEGATE
As on the Live Desktop, active delegate
buttons remain lit. Multiple selections
can be performed by pressing one or
more buttons at the same time.
DELEGATE buttons determine what
video layers the main Take, Auto, and
T-Bar affect, and the scope of the Select
and Rate knobs.
FTB
Note that FTB (Fade to Black), although not located beside the other delegates as it
is in the user interface, is a delegate button – not an action button – and works
exactly the same manner as its Live Desktop twin.
Note that FTB has no dedicated transition controls; its fade in/out duration is
derived from the BKGD transition setting.
Hint: When FTB is displayed on Program Out, it obscures all other Switcher activity. To
alert you to this important fact, the FTB button flashes for several seconds if you should
make a new TRANSITION DELEGATE selection that does not include FTB.
TRANSITION BIN CONTROL
The control surface does not have Transition Bins for the different video layers as
such, but can nevertheless control the transitions (and their attributes) for
delegated video layers.
SELECT
When a single layer, such as BKGD, is selected in the MAIN TRANSITION > DELEGATE
group on the control surface, rotating the SELECT knob cycles the current
transitions in the Transition Bin for that layer.
When multiple video layers have been delegated, turning SELECT affects the
transitions for all layers as follows:
