Working with Layers
~With Toggl e off, the source selected in Preview stays in Preview, once
the transition is complete. Here, sources must be changed manually.
Please note the following important points regarding Mix Mode:
•When neither layer is on Program, if you select one layer, the other is
automatically de-selected. Only one layer can be active at a time.
•Four transition combinations are possible:
~Mix Source with or without Toggl e.
~Swap with or without Toggle .

In Split Mode, a mixer’s two layers operate independently.
Use the following steps to work with PIPs in Split Mode.
1. On the Destination Bus, select the desired destination(s).
2. In the Layer Control Section, press the desired layer button:
~The layer button blinks, and in the Source Selection Bus, the source
assigned to the layer blinks.
~On Preview, the raster box for the selected layer blinks (even if it is
hidden under another layer).
3. Turn the Split button ON.
4. In the Layer Function Section, press PIP to display the PIP Adjustment Menu.
5. On the Source Selections Bus, select the desired source. The button blinks to
indicate that it is active, and the source appears within the PIP on Preview.
6. Adjust the PIP’s size, position, border, shadow and effects as desired. Refer to
the “Modifying PIPs" section on page323 for details.
7. Press Source to display the Input Source Adjustment Menu. Adjust the
source’s size and position within the PIP if required.

10. Repeat the procedure from step 1 for the next transition.
Please note:
•If a mixer is in "Split Mode" and a Layer is active for modification, pressing Mix
Source or Swap places the mixer in Mix Mode, and automatically turns the Split
button off. Please note:
~The layer selected on Preview remains selected, and if a layer is
currently on Program, it remains on air.
~If both layers are active on Program, Mix Mode cannot be enabled.
•If a mixer is in Mix Mode, pressing Split automatically cancels the current mode
and turns off either the Mix Source or Swap button.
Note If the PIP in Preview has a different source than the PIP in
Program, the moment Toggle is turned off, the PIP in Preview
automatically changes its source to match Program.
