	When an action assigned to a certain button is played for a long time, the button becomes pressed and a green "play" icon [[File:26_HAL.jpg]] appears in its upper left corner. If the button remains pressed and the "play" icon changes to the "pause" icon [[File:27_HAL.jpg]] , it means this button can be clicked one more time to continue the action play.

	If the button is pressed too long with the "play" icon, the action may hang. The performance of such action can be terminated by clicking its button with the pressed ~~'''~~Ctrl~~'''~~ key. Here the cursor takes the form of the "stop" icon [[File:28_HAL.jpg]].		If the button is pressed too long with the "play" icon, the action may hang. The performance of such action can be terminated by clicking its button with the pressed Ctrl key. Here the cursor takes the form of the "stop" icon [[File:28_HAL.jpg]].

	Quite often it is that after being pushed the button shows the "play" icon, but the button remains pressed after that. This is normal and means that the button belongs to a radio group, i.e. a group of buttons, one of which is pressed all the time (buttons of switching virtual cameras, play of different parts of the same animation track, etc. are often combined into a '''radio group'''). Such buttons are released only after the projects is re-started.		Quite often it is that after being pushed the button shows the "play" icon, but the button remains pressed after that.

	'''Three-dimensional scene (3D scene)''' in the virtual studio is the main type of graphic media and is a thematic collection of synthesized 3D objects (some of which contain animation), and of virtual cameras, light sources, materials, etc. It is a 3D scene that we see in the TV output window and in the Render Preview window (see "Interface ~~Description~~"). The video texture of the presenter received from the real camera is placed in the 3D scene.

The video texture of the presenter received from the real camera is placed in the 3D scene.

	The 3D scene is processed in real time and is displayed on the '''TV output''' monitor by means of a graphics processor that is one of the most important software modules of the application – the so-called '''Render'''. The image of the TV output monitor is doubled for the sake of convenience in a special window of the application – the '''Render Preview''' pane.
