Look Ahead Preview

This feature allows you to view different preview outputs, depending on whether or not the ME is on-air. Look Ahead preview works differently than the standard Preview, as, instead of displaying the output of just the Program or Preview, the output of the Look Ahead preview changes depending on the on-air status of the ME.

Any output BNC can be assigned as the Look Ahead preview for an ME, except for the Program/Preset ME.

The output of the Look Ahead preview depends on whether the ME is on-air or not.

• ME Off-Air — The Look Ahead preview displays the Program output for the assigned ME. This is what is displayed when you take this ME to air.
• ME On-Air — The Look Ahead preview displays the Preview output for the assigned ME. This is what is taken to air if you transition this ME.

For example, if you have ME 4 on-air, the Look Ahead preview monitors display the Program output for ME 1, ME 2 and ME 3. If you re-enter ME 3 into ME 4, the Look Ahead preview for ME 1 and ME 2 remain unchanged, but the Look Ahead preview for ME 3 shows the Preview output for ME 3.
