The processing of video in Broadcast 2000 occurs much like it would in a movie studio.

Broadcast 2000 doesn't read the entire frames of video files. It reads a section of the video frames using the camera. The camera zooms and pans around the video frames using camera automation. The image the camera sees is processed through the console and projected onto the output frame using the projector. Where on the output frame the image is projected is determined by projector automation.

Video tracks have Camera and Projector automation. When either of these automation selections is visible, you see a line down the center of the track. Make sure only one is visible at a time.

Left clicking on the line creates and drags automation points.

Ctrl-left clicking controls the pan of an automation point.

Ctrl-right clicking controls the zoom of an automation point.

Shift-left clicking adjusts the in and out pan handles of that automation point.

Shift-right clicking adjusts the in and out zoom handles of that automation point.

The automation works liks a bezier curve, where in and out handles control the direction of camera movement in and out of the point. The same behavior occurs for the projector.

Each edit also has its own translation setting. In addition to the automation setting, the camera positioning is relative to the translation setting for each track. Middle clicking on a single edit of a video track changes the horizontal and vertical translation of the track. Shift-middle clicking on an edit changes the zoom translation of the track. These settings are reset by selecting Video->reset translation.

Notice Broadcast 2000 either draws the camera's line of sight or the projector's projection on the output frame, but not both simultaneously. Select View->Draw Output/View->Draw Tracks to determine which output you want to see.
