    - Assign ME
      Allows you to disable the ability to assign a control panel row to a different ME. The control panel row will be locked to the currently assigned ME.
    - Audio Cut Only
      Sets whether audio transitions occur at the same rate as the video transition, or whether the audio transitions cut. Note that this is not a true cut as the speed that one channel is taken off-air and the next channel is take on-air depends on the Audio Mixer.
    - Audio Transition
      Depending on how you want audio transitions to be performed, you can set up the switcher so that it will either perform an audio transition when a transition is performed on any ME, or only when a transition is performed on an on-air ME.
    - Auto Key Alpha
      Allows you to select how the switcher treats the alpha when the internally generated Black is assigned to an auto key.
    - Auto Recall
      Sets whether or not the switcher includes switcher settings, such as Keys Only, Effects Dissolve, on or off and DVE wipe settings, with the memory.
    - Auto Remove Key
      Allows you to have the switcher remove a Keyer from the Next Transition after that keyer has been transitioned off-air from the Keyers Module. For example, Key 2 is on-air and it is selected as part of the next transition on the Transition Module. If you cut or dissolve key 2 off-air from the Keyers Module, key 2 will be de-selected for the next transition on the Transition Module. If key 2 was the only selected item for the next transition, the background will be selected instead.
    - Aux Bus Names
      Allows you to select whether the switcher uses the aux bus number or name in the menu system and bus map.
    - Aux Bus Source
      Allows you to select whether the switcher uses the aux bus name and source, or only the name.

Double-press any KEY X button to select all on-air keys as part of the next transition, and not include background.

    - CC Memory State
      Sets whether the Effects Dissolve and Keys Only settings of a memory are used when the memory is recalled with a custom control. Recalling the memory directly is not affected. This allows the custom control to recall a single memory and override the Effects Dissolve and Keys Only on or off settings of how the memory was stored. This setting overrides the Auto Recall personality option.
