Key Setting Operations with the Cross-Point Control Block
Chapter 4 Keys
Key Setting Operations
with the Cross-Point
Control Block
You can make a key signal selection using the cross-point
control block of the M/E-1 or PGM/PST bank including
the relevant key.
Applying a DME Effect to a Key
Checking the DME status
As an example, to check the DME status for M/E1 key 1,
hold down the key row delegation button [KEY1] in the M/
E1 bank.
While the button is held down, the [DME1] to [DME4]
buttons light, and the colors with which they light indicate
the status, as follows.
Lit green: A DME is assigned to M/E1 key 1. In the M/E1
independent key transition and transition control
blocks, the transition type for KEY1 is set to a DME
wipe.
Lit amber: A DME is assigned to an M/E1 key other than
key 1.
In the independent key transition and transition control
blocks, the transition type for other than key 1 of M/E-
1 is set to a DME wipe.
Not lit: No DME is assigned, or a DME wipe is not
selected.
You can check the DME operating status in the Status
menu (see page 189).
Assigning DMEs to a key
As an example, to assign DME1 and DME2 to key 1, in the
cross-point control block, hold down the key row
delegation button [KEY1] and press the buttons ([DME1]
to [DME4]) for the DME channels to be used.
In this case, press [DME1], followed by [DME2].
The buttons pressed ([DME1] and [DME2]) light green
and the DMEs are assigned to key 1.
• If the DME is selected on another keyer, the later
selection takes precedence and the button lights green.
By a setting in the Setup menu, you can make the first
selection take precedence.
For details, see “Setting the Button Operation Mode” in
Chapter 18 (Volume 2).
• When assigning two or more DMEs to a key, use
consecutive channels.
On the MVS-800X, when the signal format is 1080P,
the combination of two consecutively numbered DME
channels that can be selected is DME1 and DME2,
DME3 and DME4, DME5 and DME6, or DME7 and
DME8. It is not possible to combine three or more
DME channels.
On the MVS-7000X, when the signal format is 1080P,
the above restriction also applies if using the MVE-
8000A. There is no such restriction for the MKS-
7470X/7471X.
• When the SDI interface is used to connect the DME,
DME effects (including DME wipes) can be used in only
one place for one M/E bank.
• When the dedicated interface is used to connect the
DME, the number of keys to which DME effects
(including DME wipes) can be applied simultaneously
for one M/E bank varies as follows depending on the
execution mode of the DME wipe pattern selected for the
background.
