In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS 1 to 80 connectors on the rear panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher.

Each button has assigned to it a video signal and a key signal, forming a pair. You can set these video and key combinations in a Setup menu.

For details of Setup menu operations, see “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
