Clone — for widescreen configurations only, press to make an exact copy of a layer onto
the opposite screen. All parameters of the PIP or Key are cloned, including the source’s
shadow, key effects, border and size. Once cloned, you can select between a “mirror” or
an “offset” clone.
SIn a three-screen configuration, if layer 1A is a PIP on screen 1, press Clone
to make an exact copy of the PIP on screen 3. When you adjust the PIP, both
the original and the “cloned” copy are adjusted simultaneously.
In Chapter 7, refer to the “Using Clone” section on page330 for instruct ion s.
Swap Z-order — press to change the visual priority (on Preview) of the two layers in a
given mixer. The PIPs or keys remain at their current locations, only the priority changes.
SIf PIP 1B is visually on top of PIP 1A, press Swap Z-order to place PIP 1A on
top of 1B.
In Chapter 7, refer to the “Using Swap Z-order” section on page330 for instruct ions.
Copy — press to copy the properties of the active PIP or Key to another PIP or Key — on
the same (or different) mixer. The Copy Setup Menu appears. All (or a portion) of the
source’s parameters can be copied. Copy differs from Clone, because once the function
has been performed, the two effects will not be locked together. In Chapter7, refer to the
“Using Copy” section on page331 for instructions.
Shift Layers — (Controller SC only) In stack configurations only on the Controller SC,
press to access layers 4A to 6B plus the DSK on mixers 4, 5 and 6. When the Shift Layers
button is off, you can access layers 1A to 3B plus backgrounds A and B. In Chapter 7,
refer to the “Using Shift Layers” section on page331 for instructions. Note that the button
only functions when the destination is a stack.
Source Preview — For any selected Layer, press Source Preview to isolate that layer for
sizing and adjustment purposes — in Preview only. All other PIPs and Keys are hidden,
the background switches to a neutral gray, and the Input Menu for the selected source
appears. When the button is toggled off, the previous “look” is restored. In Chapter 7, refer
to the “Using Source Preview” section on page333 for instructions.
User Copy — (Controller LC only) press to display the User Key Copy Setup Menu,
which enables you to select all (or a portion) of the effect’s parameters that you wish to
store on one of the Controller’s 100 User Keys. By selecting a PIP or Key in Preview and
then pressing a user key, the stored parameters are instantly applied to the effect.

to 100 frames into the system’s three internal frame stores. Once captured, the frames can
be used as background or DSK sources. In Chapter 7, refer to the “Working with Frame
Grabs” section on page 355 for instructions.

another on the next auto transition.
