Working with Live Modes
Please note the following points regarding the Live Switch Program/Preview Mode:
•When switching directly on Program, the Controller uses a predefined set of
rules. Refer to the "Live Mode Source Timing" section page342 for details.
•Program LEDs are disabled on the Source Selection Bus only — but not in the
Layer Control Section. The only exception is that a blinking Red LED on
Program still indicates that the associated mixer is set to Mix Mode.
•If a layer is on Preview only, the PIP or Key can be sized and positioned.
•The Split and Mix modes operate in the normal manner.
•You can program a "move" with a source already on Program. When you press
Move Setup, you can move the raster box on Preview and choose the
"destination" location and size.
•When using the mode in conjunction with Presets, the following rules apply:
~When learning Presets, they will still be learned from Preview.
~When recalling Presets, they will still be recalled to Preview.
~A Preset remembers if the Live Switch Program/Preview Mode was
active at the time it was learned. Upon Preset recall, the mode is
enabled automatically.
•The Live Switch Program/Preview Mode is automatically disabled when you
change destinations.

The Live Switch Source Mode turns both rows of the Source Selection Bus into a live
“Program” bus. For a selected layer, when a source button is pressed, the layer switches
to the new source. This is a "cuts only" mode — without any transitions.
Use the following steps to utilize the Live Switch Source Mode:
1. On the Destination Bus, enable the desired destination(s).
2. On Preview, select the one layer that you want to remain enabled when you enter
the live mode. All other Preview layers will be cleared.
3. Press Shift + Source. The Source button lights to indicate the mode is enabled.
~When you first enter the mode, all layers on Preview (except the
selected one) are cleared. All layers on Program remain as is.
~Both rows of the Source Selection Bus are now a live Program Bus,
and all of your inputs are available.
4. With the mode enabled, there are several ways you can switch:
~Select a layer and a function (PIP or Key) that is not already on
Program. Its "last selected" source appears on Preview. Size and
position the layer in the normal way. Select a source to immediately cut
that layer to Program.
~Select a layer already on Program. Select a source to immediately cut
that source into the Program layer.
~Use the Clear Layer function to transition layers off of the Program bus.

Note When you press Clear Layer, the Live Switch Source Mode
is automatically cancelled.
