Split Keys
A Split key allows you to assign a different alpha source
for a key than the ll/alpha associations that are set up
during conguration, or to use a separate alpha source
for a Self key.
A split key can be applied to an AUTO SELECT, or
SELF KEY.
To Set Up a Split Key
A split key works on an Auto Select or Self Key that
has been set up and you want to apply a different alpha
to.
1.
Set up your key with the video source you want to
use.
2.
Press and hold the Auto Select or Self Key,
depending on the key type you are splitting. Click
Navigation Menu > Live Assist and select the
key you want split.
3.
Press the source button on the key bus for the alpha
source you want to use.
Tip: If the new alpha source is not assigned to a source
button, press any other button on the key bus and use the
Alpha knob to select a different alpha source.

Click the Key Fill or Key Alpha button and select
the new source for the key.

Key Copy
You can copy the entire contents of a keyer to another
keyer in the same, or a different ME. The entire contents
of the destination keyer are replaced with the contents
of the source keyer.
When you copy a key, the switcher tries to assign
resources to the destination key to match the source key.
If these resources are not available, the switcher steals
resources in the following order.
1.
From off-air keys that are not the source key.
2.
From the source key, if it is not on-air.
3.
From on-air keys that are not the source key.
4.
From the source key, even if it is on-air.
