About Transition Chaining
Transition Chaining allows you to chain transitions across different M/Es:
• Key Chaining—Allows you to chain keys to coordinate their keyer states (on and off ) on
a single M/E or from one M/E to another. There are 15 Key Chains available in a GV
Switcher System. All keys in a chain transition on and off together (see About Key
Chaining, on page 312).
• Background Chaining—Links background next-transition elements across different
M/Es; Primary to Primary partitions and Secondary to Secondary partitions. Two chains
are available per suite (see Background Transition Chaining, on page 316).
• Partition Sync—Links Primary and Secondary partitions within the same M/E (see
Partition Sync Mode, on page 323).
These features can be used separately or together, and in combination with bus links to
provide for example multiple feeds or 3D productions.
