Selecting A Bus (Cross-Point Control Block); Operation Mode Of A Button Row - Sony MLS-X1 User Manual

Note
The shift button cannot be used in a delegation button row
(1st row) on a cross-point control block in key/AUX bus
delegation mode.
Re-entry buttons
You can assign re-entry signals to the cross-point button
rows of the cross-point control block/AUX bus control
block for use as re-entry buttons.
Re-entry buttons are used to load an image created on one
switcher bank as an input signal on another switcher
bank.
For example, to load the image created on M/E-1 as
background B on M/E-2, press the M/E-1 re-entry button
in the cross-point button row for background B bus on
M/E-2.
Notes
• M/E-1 to M/E-3 and P/P re-entry signals are assigned to
the cross-point buttons by default.
To use M/E-4 and M/E-5 re-entry signals, first they
must be assigned to the cross-point buttons.
For details about assigning buttons, see "Creating a
Cross-Point Assign Table" (page 383).
• You can assign re-entry signal selection buttons to the
cross-point pad of a cross-point control block/AUX bus
control block on the ICP-X7000.
For details about assigning buttons, see "Setting a
Cross-Point Pad" (page 410).
Re-entry signal restrictions
• Up to four re-entry stages are supported.
• Selecting a re-entry signal within the same switcher
bank is not supported.
• When the system signal format is 1080P or 1080i, a
signal delay may occur when using four stacked re-
entry stages.
Extended re-entry
When extended re-entry is enabled, selection of re-entry
signals within the same switcher bank becomes possible.
For details, see "Setting Extended Re-Entry" (page 390).
