2. If BKGD is delegated alone, the T-Bar color is as shown in the table above, identifying which M/E is
delegated to the stripe. (When multiple M/Es are delegated, the first selected delegate determines the
color.)
3. This color is at its brightest when the PGM/A source (effectively the Program row for a transition type
effect) is fully displayed. As the T-Bar is moved (or AUTO is pressed) to begin a transition, the color
gradually dims until the effect is complete. At that point, it pops back to full brightness, just as the
onscreen T-Bar returns to the top of its stroke.
4. In a mixed delegate situation (BKGD along with one or more KEY layers) the T-Bar is lit it medium blue,
and conforms to the BKGD behavior described above.
5. If one or more KEY layers are delegated without BKGD, the T-Bar color is purple. When the KEY layer (or,
for multi-KEY selections, the first KEY layer) is fully displayed, T-Bar lighting is at its brightest. Removing
the layer dims the illumination.
MAIN TRANSITIONS
1. Just as you would expect, the T-Bar uses industry-standard red/green color coding for Program and
Preview rows.
2. DSK-only operations result in the T-Bar being lit in purple, similar to M/Es.
3. Mixed mode (BKGD plus DSK delegates) result in blue illumination, after the fashion of T-Bar behavior
previously described for M/Es.
This brings us to the fourth and final column of the VMC1 control surface – Joystick & Media control (see
Section 2.2.2).
SECTION 22.6 MEDIA PLAYERS
Let’s explore the details of the MEDIA PLAYER control group (depending on your control surface model, there
may be one or two such control groups).
