the bus forms part of the program
output from the switcher.

unchanged.
When the [XPT HOLD] button in the key 1
or key 2 row is on, then the operation is as
follows, depending on the setting in the
Setup menu.
When the panel setup is “Normal”: The
operation is as follows, depending on
the setting in switcher setup.
Key Disable: The snapshot or
keyframe is recalled without changing
the current key settings.

d UTIL (utility) button
While this button is held down, the cross-
point buttons are assigned to the following
buses, respectively.
Background A row: utility 1 bus
Background B row: utility 2 bus
Key 1 row: DME external video bus
Key 2 row: DME utility 1 bus when the
[KEY4] button is off, or DME utility 2
bus when the [KEY4] button is lit.
In a Setup menu, you can select either of the
following two modes for these buttons.
• The button takes effect while being held
down.
• Every time the button is pressed, it
toggles between the on and off states for
key 1 and key 2 rows. For background A
and background B rows, utility buses
remain disabled.
e Source name displays
These show the names of the signals which
can be selected on the cross-point buttons,
in two or four characters, or in auto mode.
While the [SHIFT] button on the right hand
side or the [SHIFT] button assigned to the
column of cross-point buttons is enabled,
the source name of the signal assigned to
the column of cross-point buttons in shift
mode appears. You can select green,
orange, or yellow for the background color
of the source name display, for each source
separately. You can set the source name
display mode and background color in a
Setup menu.
f SHIFT button
When this button is enabled, either the
source name displays show the shifted
signal names, or the shifted signals for all
buses in this M/E (P/P) bank are enabled.
You can select either mode in a Setup
menu.
Each press of the button toggles between
the enabled and disabled states.
