1Program input selection buttons — Allow the system operator to view the image switch as it happens.

Freeze — Locks the output display to the image that is currently displayed

on the program output. When the freeze function is enabled, the button is lit.

When an image is frozen, an effect switch can still occur. When the output is switched, the freeze command stays in effect.

To unfreeze the image, press the Freeze button.

If an image is frozen when a different input button on the same row (program or preview) is selected or if the unit loses power, the image unfreezes.

Black — Causes a black screen to be displayed. The black screen can be switched by applying a cut or another effect. A black input cannot be frozen. When black is selected, the current input button will continually flash.

1 – 8 — Selects the corresponding input to be displayed. Normally, you will not use these buttons during a show. If a program input selection button is pressed, the resulting switch is not seamless.

2Preview input selection buttons — Allow the system operator to select the preview image.

Freeze — Locks the output display to the image that is currently displayed on the preview output. When the freeze function is enabled, the button is lit.

When an image is frozen, an effect switch can still occur. When the output is switched, the freeze command stays in effect.

To unfreeze the image, press the Freeze button.

If an image is frozen when a different input button on the same row (program or preview) is selected or if the unit loses power, the image unfreezes.

Black — Causes a black screen to be displayed. The black screen can be switched by applying a cut or another effect. The black input cannot be frozen. When black is selected, the current input button will flash.

1 – 8 — Allow you to select the preview input device. The button is lit while the input is active.
