Ops 7–40 • Keying Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
AuxKeys
The AuxKey™ option turns the top Crosspoint Group into an Aux Mixer, or Mixer/Keyer. In the
AuxKey mode, you set up transitions using the Background, Preset, and Key buses of the top
Crosspoint Group and then perform transitions and key effects using the Transition and Keyers
Modules of the Crosspoint Group.
There are two types of AuxKeys, AuxKey Mixers and AuxKey Mixer/Keyers. Depending on
which one is assigned to the aux bus you are using, you will have different functionality.
AuxKey Operation
Although the operation of the AuxKey is similar to that of the existing MLE, there are some
notable differences as follows:
• AuxKeys can only perform Cuts or Dissolves.
• AuxKeys have independent transition rates for the Background and Keyer transitions.
• You can only preview your next shot by connecting a preview monitor to the aux bus
preview output.
• AuxKey Keyers can only perform Auto Select and Self Keys.
• AuxKey Keyers have only one Keyer per AuxKey.
AuxKey Setup
AuxKey Keyer Self Keys and Auto Select Keys are both set up using the Aux Mix Key Setup
Menu. This menu allows you to adjust all the same elements as the Self Key Setup Menu and
Auto Key Setup Menu, with the addition of the Transition Rates for the AuxKey Keyer.
Use the following procedure to set up an AuxKey Mixer/Keyer key:
1. Use the MLE SEL Button Menu to assign the panel row to the AuxKey. Refer to the
section “Selecting an Aux Bus” on page Ops 4-8 for more information.
2. Select the video signal you want to use for the key on the Key Bus of the crosspoint
group. The video source name appears on the Keyer mnemonic on the Keyers Module.
Operating Tip — If you want to set the Transition Rate for an AuxKey Mixer, you have to
press the BKGD button on the Transition Module to display the Aux Mix Setup Menu. Set the
transition rate as described in Step (5.) below.
3. Press SELF KEY or AUTO SELECT on the Keyers Module to select the key type.
The Aux Mix Key Setup Menu is displayed for the selected Keyer.
