ELEGATE
As on the Live Desktop, active delegate buttons remain lit. Multiple selections can be
performed by pressing one or more buttons at the same time. DELEGATE buttons
determine what video layers the main Take, Auto, and T-Bar affect, and the scope of
the Select and Rate knobs.
M/E | FTB
As a convenience, it is possible to re-purpose the entire TRANSITION control group
to control M/Es rather than main Switcher controls.
To do this, press the M/E button at bottom right in this section. While this button is
lit, the BKGD and DSK1 delegate buttons, along with other controls in the
TRANSITION group that correspond to existing M/E and M/E KEY layers and effects
are diverted to the currently delegated M/Es.
Note that when you hold down SHIFT while pressing this button, an FTB (Fade to
Black) operation is performed instead. (FTB has no dedicated transition controls;
its fade in/out duration is derived from the BKGD transition setting.)
Hint: When FTB is displayed on Program Out, it obscures all other Switcher activity.

on the control surface, rotating the SELECT knob cycles the current transitions in the
Transition Bin for that layer.
When multiple video layers have been delegated, turning SELECT affects the
transitions for all layers as follows:
