Key Priority Transitions
Key Over transitions allow you to change the priority, or order, that keys are displayed on screen
for an MLE. This can be between keyers that are on-air, or keyers that are not on-air.
On-air key over transitions are performed by using the KEY PRIOR button on the Transition
Module. This allows you to set up the new priority, or order, for each of the keyers, and then
perform a transition to change the keyer priority.
Important — Key Priority transition can only be performed between keyers that are in the
same state. For example, to change the priority of Keyer 1 and Keyer 3, both keyers must be
on-air, or off-air, for the MLE.
Key Priority can be set either manually using the buttons on the Transition and Keyers Modules,
or using the Key Priority Setup Menu.

The Key Priority Setup Menu allows you to visually verify, or change, what the current key
priority is, and set up a new key priority for a key priority transition.
Use the following procedure to perform a key priority transition:
1. Press KEY PRIOR on the Transition Module for the MLE that you want to change the
priority of the keyers for. If a key is not currently on-air, a warning is displayed.

priority transition by pressing HOME B Effects B More B More B Key Priority.

Important — Ensure that all your keys are off-air before changing the Current key priority.
Changing the Current key priority of on-air keys may produce undesired effects.
• Press the Key X button in the Current area for the desired keyer at the layer you
want the key to appear, where X is the number of the keyer. The remaining keys
shift layers to accommodate the change. Keys at the same layer, or above, the
selected layer are shifted up.
