to the knobs, allowing them to be adjusted.

h Displays

i DME channel selection buttons
Press one of these buttons, turning it on, to assign a DME
channel to the keyer.
The number of valid DME channel selection buttons
depends on the number of channels installed in the DME
processor.
A maximum of four consecutively numbered DME
channels from DME 1 to 8 can be assigned to one keyer.
When the signal format is 1080P only, the consecutive
channel combinations that can be selected are any of
DME1 and DME2, DME3 and DME4, DME5 and DME6,
or DME7 and DME8.
A DME channel assigned to a keyer cannot be selected on
another keyer. However, using the override function it is
possible to allocate a channel already allocated to another
keyer to the currently selected keyer. If DME channel
allocations have been made in a Setup menu, these buttons
cannot be used to make DME channel allocations. Using
the trace function, it is possible to check which keyer a
DME channel is allocated to.
For the MKS-9011/9012, direct control of DME5 to 8 is
not possible.
