The standard DSK unit uses the MATTE button. This is a Toggle for the user configurable
MATTE. For more information please refer to the "MATTE" section of the "On Screen Menu"
chapter. Note that the MATTE is enabled and disabled in both the PREVIEW and PROGRAM
outputs.
PGM BUS LOCK
This button toggles the lock status of the output video. Transitions will be enabled while the
PROGRAM BUS is locked however button presses on the PROGRAM BUS will be ignored.
BYPASS
Pressing the bypass button will force the relay on the input of the I/O module to disengage. This
will route the incoming video directly out through the relay bypass output connector. The LED
above the Bypass button illuminates to indicate that the unit is in manual Bypass. Pressing the
button once again energizes the relay allowing the input video to pass through the unit. The
bypass relay will disengage if the frame loses power preserving the video output stream. Note:
Only the bypass output connector is bypass relay protected, all other outputs will not function on
a power loss.
