2. Hold down Ctrl on the keyboard again, and click the BKGD Delegate button (de-selecting
it).
Note that, after de-selecting the BKGD delegate button, the Preview monitor no longer shows the
Switcher’s Preview row selection. Why is that? At this moment, only the DSK 1 and DSK 2
buttons remain lit – thus only those two video layers will be affected by a main Take or Auto
operation. The result will be as follows:

DSK 1, currently seen on Program out, will be removed from view

DSK 2 will be overlaid above Program instead.

The BKGD layer will not change in this case. Hence Preview correctly depicts the
outcome of a Take or Auto, just as we’ve mentioned.
The Look Ahead Preview allows you to switch with real confidence; the Transition Delegate
features provide flexible and convenient video layer management, and thus enhanced control
over your ultimate Program output composition.
