•A maximum of eight re-entry stages are possible, with the final output having a delay of 4H.

•The selection order of re-entry signals affects the number of lines by which the output signal is lowered.

•If a delay occurs in the image, even when the through mode is set, the ancillary data does not pas through.

•For example, it is possible to select the re-entry of M/E-1 main on M/E-1 main.

Restrictions on Mutual Re-entry When Using Multi Program 2 The snapshot function is affected by this re-entry function.

When the [MP2 Free Re-Entry] button is On, and any of the switcher banks are in Multi Program 2 mode, then the following restrictions apply.

If you save and recall snapshots simultaneously with more than one region specified, the recorded state is played back in the order of precedence of regions (M/E-1 >M/E-2 >M/E-3 >P/P). Therefore, if you save and recall snapshots with more than one region specified, the cross-point settings may not be recalled correctly.

To recall the snapshots correctly, press the cross-point button before recalling the snapshots, to select a signal other than the re-entry signal, then recall the snapshots.

Functions Added in Multi Program 2 Mode

•You can set video processing for the utility 3 bus signal.

•In the control panel and DCU GPI input settings and switcher GPI link settings, the actions that can be selected now also include “Sub Cut” and “Sub Auto Trans.”

•A switcher GPI link can now be set also for the utility 3 bus.

•To the macro event configuration parameters and macro attachment settings, “Main & Sub” and “Sub” have been added.

•For cross-point button link settings, M/E-1 to M/E-3, and P/P “Sub Program,” “Sub Preset,” and “Sub Trans PGM” have been added to the link source bus.

•Snapshot attributes can now be set independently for main and sub.

•There are additional menus for sub which can be recalled by pressing a button twice.

•You can set [MP2 Auto Correct] to On or Off in the Effect menu or Snapshot menu. When this is set to On, for example, copy destination and source data is automatically recognized as main or sub, and the data interchanged.
