Substitution Table

A substitution table allows you to specify a different source that will be taken on a bus when a specific source is selected on that bus. The substitution table requires an ME follow to be set up between the buses to trigger the substitution.

The substitution table can be used with the ME follows feature to create multilingual production feeds. For example, you can have ME 2 follow ME 1 to simultaneous produce multiple feeds. When a source is selected on ME 1, the same source is selected on ME 2. With the substitution table you can have it that when camera 1 is selected on ME 1 the follow will select camera 1 on ME 2 but the substitution table substitutes camera 4 for camera 1 on ME 2. Refer to ME Follows for information on setting up ME follows.

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when working with substitution tables:

  • If you want to create a substitution for an auto-select key, you must set up a substitution for both the fill and the alpha.
  • Selecting a crosspoint directly on a bus that has a substitution set up for it overrides the substitution. The substitution continues when a new source is selected on the leading bus.
