In fact a Panasonic WJ-MX50A 4-input vision mixer, is was only the second frame store vision mixer the station has owned, and the first to feature an accessible chroma key function (there remains some debate as to whether Magic DaVE can do Chroma Key. Suffice it to say it never has done on air). This meant either that two independent vision mix rigs could be set up without resort to Genlocking inputs to the older vision mixers, or that chroma key could be used as part of another live show, thus making it much more useful than if the main vision path had to be used for the purpose. Being a more mamangeable single unit rather than the separate controller and back end of DaVE, it is regularly used as an outside broadcast mixer as well as on the Off The Cuff set.
