Use the rotary encoder to move the selecon and use the buons to Conrm / Cancel the choices.
The Program/Preview key toggles between Program and Preview modes (this key is related to the Selec-
on area). Note that the three-axis joysck will be fully funconal in a future version.

The XLR lamp is used to light the RC400T if needed.
To turn the lamp on, go to Front panel sengs and enable Power on light.
• Selecon area - Mul-purpose area
The Selecon area is used for Screen composion. Select Screens, Aux Screens, Layers, and assign Sources
or reload Memories. The Selecon area is composed of 4 idencal rows of keys. Each row is composed
of 12 LED keys with labels in OLED displays, one LCD key and one rotary encoder. Each row can display a
predened group of items depending on the mode selected by the user. Note that the Program/Preview
key aects the enre Selecon area.

More features will be coming in future versions and users are welcome to request new User keys features.
•Transion area
The Transion area is composed of one T-bar and 3 LED keys: Take Cut, Step Back and TAKE:
- Take Cut triggers an immediate transion from Preview to Program without eects or duraon.
- Step Back reloads the former Program to the Preview.
- TAKE triggers the transion from Preview to Program with eects, duraon, etc.
The T-bar is a manual Take triggered by the user for a smooth transion.
The transion applies only to Screens selected in the Selecon area.
