	This broke on transit to Vanbrugh college for Woodstock 2009. The symptoms of the problem were that it didn't mix, the 7-segment LED digits at the top were at a fixed value and couldn't be changed, the mixing T-bar didn't do anything, various LEDs were always on or always off regardless what buttons you pressed.

			This broke on transit to Vanbrugh college for Woodstock 2009. The symptoms of the problem were that it didn't mix, the 7-segment LED digits at the top were at a fixed value and couldn't be changed, the mixing T-bar didn't do anything, various LEDs were always on or always off regardless what buttons you pressed.

	~~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~~.		It turned out to be because two of the ribbon cables inside it had become disconnected at one end. Reattaching them made it work fine. Note: Panasonic Max has a LOT of screws on the bottom!
	~~Being a more manageable 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~~.

	~~The mixer was christened "~~Max~~" by [[Ed Jellard]], who wanted to give it~~ a proper name as had happened with [[Magic DaVE]], which was often referred to simply as Dave (causing much confusion when [[Dave Baker]] joined and serious potential for [[quotes board]] material). Although slightly tenuous in this case (it derives from the "MX" in the name) it finally stuck after much prodding...

	~~The mixer was part~~ of ~~the enormous amount of equipment donated to the station by Accenture on 6th March 2003. It made its debut~~ on air the following day when the Cox T8 mixer died during broadcast of [[Elections 2003]], and so the new mixer was rushed across campus and hastily connected into the setup, before any testing had been done to its functionality or to find out how it worked. Suffice to say it did work and effectively saved the ~~broadcast from falling off air~~!
