CP Sequence Set
A sequence is a switch of one or more sources to one or more destinations.
The CP 3000 panel can accommodate a maximum of 25 events (switches) in one sequence.
There is no specific limit to the number of sequences, but due to memory restrictions a limit of 16 is recommended.

In Figure 5−80, the first three rows show the switching events in “Seq1.” In this example, selecting “SEQ1” will cause three
VTRs to be switched into inputs A, B, and C of a production switcher. All four levels (video, audio left, audio right, and time
code) will be switched. The switches will take place in the vertical interval at maximum system speed.
Sequences are stored as sequence sets; these sets can be made available to some or all control panels. For the system shown
on page 5−89 (on the MPK Devices menu), the set in this example would be available to all CP 3000 Switcher Control Panels
in the system since all of them use “KXYZ−SEQ” as the sequence set. Sequences can include outputs not otherwise available
to a panel (i.e., when the outputs are not entered on the CP Output Set assigned to the panel).
When operating the CP 3000, sequences are accessed through the Menu and F keys, as described on page 6−17.
Note 1: Data matrixes can be part of sequences when used in conjunction with the “DM 400 Off Time” feature
(DM 400 Off Time is described on page 5−47). There should not be more than 25 DM 400 safe off time switches
per sequence. Safe off time in sequences must be used with care as specifying too short of a safe off time may result
in the switch occurring too soon; this could result in switches occurring out of sequence.
