- Audio and Video Processing
  Video and audio signals are processed and passed through the switcher in different ways, depending on how the switcher is being used or is set up. A better understanding of how the switcher is processing these signals help you to achieve the production you want.
- Video Sources
  The switcher has access to two basic types of video sources; external and internal.
- Video Layering
  How video is layered in the output of the switcher depends on how an ME is re-entered onto the other, and what keyers are on-air for the ME.
- Video Preview
  Video preview allows you to use an additional monitor to preview what the next shot is going to be.
- Matte Source
  Matte color backgrounds (BG) are color signals that can be applied to backgrounds and keys. Color selection is done either by picking a preset color, or by adjusted hue, saturation, and luminance to create a custom color.
- Copying
  You can copy the content of an ME or keyer to another ME or keyer.
- Transitions
  Transitions are used to change the background video and take keys on and off-air. A transition can include any combinations of background and keyers for an ME. The background and each keyer can be transitioned independently.
- Keying
  Keying is the term used to describe when you insert (or electronically cut) portions of one scene into another, or place titles over background images. Keys are made up of two basic components, an alpha, that cuts the hole in the background video, and a fill, that fills the hole with different video.
- Memory Functions
  A memory register is a snapshot of the current state of the switcher that can include one or multiple MEs. Up to 100 memory registers per ME can be stored and recalled on the switcher. Each of these memory registers can store as little as the information of one ME, or as much as the current state of the entire switcher, including all MEs, Aux Buses, and DVE settings.
- Audio Mixer
  The audio mixer node in DashBoard provides a graphical interface to all the audio sources and mixer layers. An audio channel must be routed to the switcher to be controllable by the audio mixer interface.

    - To Configure Audio Outputs
- Switcher Sets
  The switcher stores configuration and operation data in a number of registers that contain the individual entries for items such as memories or personality settings. These registers can be stored as a single archive file, or as a register set that contains all the individual register of that type; all memories for example. Different Sets can be created for different shows or applications, allowing you to quickly locate and recall the switcher configurations.
- Media-Store
  The MediaManager interface to the Media-Store allows you to load stills, animations, or audio files and make them available across all MEs.
- Custom Controls
  Once programmed, a custom control (CC) can be played back by pressing a button. The custom control can be as simple as triggering an output GPI pulse, or as complex as recalling a specific memory register on an ME, performing a switcher transition, and selecting a group of keys.
- Sequencer
  The Sequencer allows you to create a playlist of custom control events.

To Set Up Audio Faders

Assign audio sources to each fader in the mixer.

Click Navigation Menu > Audio Mixer > Config.
In the Fader Config area, click the Fader Source button for the fader you want to assign an audio source.

Assign an audio source to the fader or select Off to turn the audio fader off.

Tip: You can rename a fader by entering a new name in the Label field.
Click the Audio Source button and click the stream pair that you want to use.
- Stereo — select the stereo pair that you want to use.
- Mono Left — select the left mono pair you want to use. The left channel audio is put on both the left and right channels.
- Mono Right — select the right mono pair you want to use. The right channel audio is put on both the left and right channels.
Click the Delay (ms) field and enter a delay value (0-20,000 ms) to align the audio to the video signal, if needed.
Toggle the AFV Trans button to either have the audio sources fade in and out (Fade) or have a cut between the audio sources (Cut) when the associated video source is taken on or off-air.
- Fade — the audio source level is taken down (going off-air) or up (going on-air) as the transition progresses. The rate of the audio fade is tied to the length of the video transition.
- Cut — the audio source is cut on-air at the beginning of the transition (going on-air) or cut off-air at the end of the transition (going off-air).
Note: Each audio source is transitioned according to how the AFV transition is set. For example, if Audio 1 is set to Cut and Audio 2 is set to Fade and you perform a transition from Audio 1 to Audio 2, Audio 1 will remain on and cut off at the end of the transition and Audio 2 will fade in through the transition.
Click the AFV Trigger button and select the video source(s) that you want the audio transitions to follow. By default, the audio follows the video it is embedded in. You can select multiple sources.
