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.
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.
Key Copy
You can copy the entire contents of a keyer to another
keyer. 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.
To Copy a Key
This procedure copies the contents of Key 1 to Key 3 as
an example. Use the same procedure for any key
combination.
1.
Press and hold the KEY 3 SEL button.
This is the destination keyer that you want to copy
to.
2.
Press the KEY 1 SEL button.
This is the source keyer that you want to copy from.
Key Swap
You can swap the entire contents of any two keyers. The
video source, position, and key type are all swapped
between keyers. This allows you to change the apparent
key priority, or layering, of the keys in the video output.
For example, key 3 appears over key 2. If you perform
a swap between key 3 and key 2, it appears as if key 2
is now over key 3.
Keep the following in mind when performing a key
swap:
• Key swap does not change the on-air status of a keyer.
• If a DVE key is set to freeze, it will be unfrozen by
the swap.
• A key swap can be recorded as part of a custom
control.
To Perform a Key Swap
This procedure swaps the contents of Key 2 and Key 3
as an example. Use the same procedure for any key
combination.
1.
Press and hold the KEY 2 SEL button.
2.
Press the KEY 3 button in the next transition area.
