Which of the following is not information sent by the Zeus frame to the key panels?

• A. Audio
• B. Data
• C. Routing
• D. Timecode

Answer: (D)

The key idea is what kind of control information the Zeus frame sends to the key panels. The panels receive signals that tell them what to play or display: audio signals so they carry the correct sound, data that conveys commands or metadata for graphics and operations, and routing information that directs where signals should go through the system. Timecode, however, is a separate timing reference used to synchronize devices and events across the broadcast setup. It’s not a payload the Zeus frame sends to drive the panels, but a timing signal used for alignment and logging. So the item not sent to the key panels is the timecode.
