Key Chaining Across M/Es
314
• ME-1, Key1
Selecting a keyer in the Next-Transition section of the Control Panel will make that keyer the
initiator. On the M/Es with keyers in the chain, their next-transition selections will be erased
and the keyers in the chain selected. These keyers will flash to indicate that they are in the
chain. The key which is not flashing is the initiator.
You can also use the Cut/Auto keys as described in Using Key Cut/Auto Control Panel
Buttons, on page 313. If a Cut button is pressed on the initiating M/E, then all the M/Es with
chained keyers, cut. If an Auto button is pressed, then similarly, all M/Es with chained keyers
shall perform the same transition at the same rate.
Other non-chained keys or other transition elements can be added to the next-transition at
this time. Key chains can be established with keys both in the same and different M/Es.
