Slate & takeover
Half time, a technical fault, a pre-match hold: the operator cuts the program to a slate or a loop, and back. What makes it safe is that the feed they left stays watchable the whole time.
01 Before the cut
Section titled “01 Before the cut”Three monitors above the media library: the off-air audition, the incoming feed, and what is going out.
02 Take the slate
Section titled “02 Take the slate”Playing a file IS the takeover — it goes to air at once, with the commentary mix still riding on top.
03 The feed you left
Section titled “03 The feed you left”Every other monitor is downstream of the cut, so they show the slate. The live-source tile is tapped before it, so the incoming feed stays visible — for free, at about a frame a second.
04 Watch live
Section titled “04 Watch live”When a glance is not enough, full motion from the source on demand — so you can tell a feed that is really back from one that is merely connected.
