Using DVE Sequences
Once you have created and saved your sequence, you
can use it either as a sequence on a keyer, or as a
transition on a keyer or background. The sequence is
selected either through the Pattern Selection Menu, or
by entering the sequence number on the keypad.
You can set a default sequence rate that is used when an
ME, or the switcher, is defaulted. This rate overrides the
duration stored in the sequence.

load using the keypad on the Global Memory Module and
press ENTER to load the sequence.
