selected, the LED above the selector key lights, indicating that you have control of that VCR.
If a Videonics MX-1 is attached to Edit Suite, pressing the A, B, C, or D key also changes the
MX-1's output to the corresponding VCR.
• The sixth key–COLOR–is available to MX-1 users only, and is used to select COLOR as the
MX-1's current source. This is often used to do fades to and from black.
The LEDs above the selector keys indicate which VCR Edit Suite will control when a transport key is
pressed or the jog/shuttle is turned. There are four states for the LEDs:
1. If only one LED is lit, that VCR will be controlled.
2. If two LEDs are lit–one steady and one blinking slowly–the VCR with the steady LED is the
current VCR and it will be controlled. The VCR with the blinking LED is the next source. If a
mixer or switcher is attached, the next source is the "B" source in an A/B Roll.
3. If two LEDs are lit and one is flashing rapidly, that VCR is the "B" source in an A/B roll, and
it will be controlled. (There is a key sequence you will learn later to make the next source
controllable.)
4. If the "R" LED is lit, the record VCR will be controlled.
