Side Flags
Creating an image with side flags
For example, to create an image with side flags in the background B row of the
M/E-1 bank, use the following procedure.
1
In the M/E-1 bank cross-point control block, hold down the [UTIL] button,
and in the background A row select the signal (utility bus 1 signal) you
want to insert in the side flag areas.
2
In the background B row, press the cross-point button corresponding to the
4:3 video material.
At this point, if auto side flags are on, this automatically adds side flags to
the 4:3 video material. (See “Settings for Switcher Configuration (Config
Menu)” in Chapter 20 (Volume 3).)
3
Use either of the following methods to turn the side flags on.
• Use the Misc >Enable >Side Flags menu. (See page 484)
• Use a cross-point button operation. (See previous item.)
This adds side flags to the 4:3 video material.
