In the basic switching
section we discussed how to use the Stage to preview a production element before putting it to
program. Stage can also be used to set up a complex group of productions elements that can be
put to program as a single action.
More than one element can be placed in the Stage at one time. (shown in the screen shot
below).

-
Press and hold the Stage/PVW button on the Control Surface.
-
Use either assigned buttons on the Control Surface or
Touchpad menu.
-
Select all the elements you want for the on-air
composite.
To Preview the element(s):
- Select the Rehearse button on the Touchpad
menu.
To place the Element to air:
- Use the Take button on the Control Surface or in the menu.
If the stage composite is something that you will use again:
- Save it to the Effects menu.

- Namethe element and Saveagain.

Saved Stage composites are found in the Effects menu on the Touchpad.
