Run the show.

Step into the director's chair. When a cue comes in, take the right camera — or key the graphic — before the clock runs out. Keep the broadcast clean and see how you score.

Cue a source, then CUT or FADE · GFX keys the graphic · AUTO lets it self-run

LIVE IN 3… 2… 1…

You're the director.

When a cue appears, take the right camera on the bus and press CUT (or FADE) before the timer runs out. Some cues ask you to key the GFX on or off. Twelve cues. Keep it clean.

Switching is only the part the audience sees. Behind every live production are the signal paths, audio systems, graphics, recordings and redundancies that keep the show moving.
