Pattern Limit:
  A transition limit in which a 
preset position of the pattern edge 
between two video signals is stored in 
microprocessor memory. Full movement 
of the Mix/Effects lever arm or Auto 
Transition performs a mix or wipe to or 
from the preset limit.
Pattern Modulation:  
An oscillation or 
modulation of the vertical and/or 
horizontal dimensions of a wipe pattern 
edge.
Port:  
A connection point between a 
computer and another hardware device.
Preset Black Transition, Fade-to-Black:  
transition in which one video signal is 
faded to color black before the other video 
signal is brought up.
Preset Pattern:  
The pattern used in a preset 
wipe transition.
Preset Wipe:
  A transition between two 
video signals in which the limit of the 
separation (pattern edge) between signals 
is controlled by the wipe pattern controls. 
If the effect is wiped on-air over an 
existing background, the transition is 
called a wipe to a pattern limit; if the effect 
is mixed on-air, it is called a mix to a 
pattern limit.
Preview (PVW) Output:  
The output of the 
switcher which allows you to observe an 
effect before it is placed on-air. Also called 
Look-Ahead Preview.
Primary Inputs:  
Video and key inputs that 
have not passed through any processing 
circuits. These sources are selectable by the 
Source Select buttons on the main control 
panel.
Printer:  
A device which converts signals 
into letters, numbers, symbols, and 
graphics for output onto paper. (Also see 
Hard Copy.)
Program:  
A complex sequence of 
instructions which tell a computer how to 
receive, process, store and transmit 
information for a specific task or related 
tasks. (Also see Operating Program and 
Routine.
Program (PGM) Output:  
The on-air or final 
output of the switcher. May also be a 
signal which is available at the “Program” 
output of a Mix/Effects system, ready to 
be placed (as a re-entry) on the switcher 
Program output.
PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory):  
An information storage device on which 
the information once entered cannot 
readily be changed. It is nonvolatile 
memory such that power conditions do 
not effect the information. (Also see 
EEPROM, RAM, and ROM.)
Pulse Regenerator:  
A circuit which accepts 
reference color black or another composite 
color video input and processes it to 
produce sync, blanking, subcarrier, and 
burst flag (PAL only) reference pulses for 
use within the switcher.
R
R-Y:  
The designator used to describe the 
Red minus Luminance color portion of a 
component video signal.
