The director continues with crew instructions, "ready to go to bumper from VTR blue with graphics hot for a blind reveal, ready to sneak in your music" the audio cue given to the A1. "Music in - roll blue and dissolve blue" to the technical director who mixes the sources. The graphic operator activates the lower third graphic revealing the names of the two teams.
