Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD) Squeeze & Tease Basic Operation • Ops 12–11
Assigning Multiple Channels to a Flying Key
Your Vision switcher allows you to assign additional keys to each Keyer as long as there are
sufficient Squeeze & Tease channel resources available. The channels in this combined key can
be manipulated separately or together.
To manipulate both channels together, you can select both channels at the same time. Both
channels can be selected when using any of the 3D tools such as crop, position, or rotation. If the
channels selected have different values, for example, different positions in 3D space, the menu
indicates that the values are different and no position, rotation, or cropping coordinates are
displayed. The menu shows the position of both channels in the 3D viewable field (Figure
12.13).
Figure 12.13 Multiple Channel Selection
Channel Resources and Channels
The Channel Resources, in the upper left corner of the menu, shows the number of Squeeze &
Tease Channel Resources available to the MLE-pair. The channel resources provided by a single
Squeeze & Tease Carrier Board can be shared between both MLEs in the pair, or set to each one.
The Channel listing, on the Channel button, shows the Squeeze & Tease Channel that is active
in the Keyer. Squeeze & Tease Channels can require one or more Channel Resources, depending
on the type of key that is being used.
For More Information...

Assigning Channels to a Keyer
You can assign multiple channels to the same keyer, allowing the channels to intersect with each
other and be locked together so that they move as a single object. You can choose to work with all
channels simultaneously, or individually.
