Using the Talkback Controls
The numbered buttons on the left side of the control panel are also used for communicating
with camera operators. You can communicate with each camera independently, or address all
cameras simultaneously.
To address each camera independently, hold down the ‘shift’ button and press any of the
corresponding buttons from 1 to 8. This is helpful if you want to talk momentarily to one
single operator.
To address all cameras, press the four direct talk buttons from 5 to 8 so they are all enabled.
This opens a direct, locked talkback signal to all cameras 1 to 8 and will stay on until you press
the buttons again. Doing so will turn the direct talk buttons off, returning the talkback to single
camera address.
The numbered buttons together with thedirect talk buttons let
you communicate with your camera operators
Using the Upstream and Downstream Keyers
Upstream and downstream keyers give you a huge amount of control over special effects such
as titles, lower thirds graphics, chroma keying, general overlays and effects, but also lets you
control how to transition them on and off air.
BACKGROUND
The background button, labeled BKGD, lets you tie the program output, before any keyers are
added, to the next transition. This gives you flexibility to transition the upstream keyer on or off
air independently from the downstream keyers.
KEY 1 TIE
The KEY 1 TIE button enables the upstream keyer on the preview output, along with the next
transition effects, and ties it to the main transition control so that the keyer can be taken to air
with the next transition.
When the upstream keyer is tied to the main transition, the transition will happen at the rate
specified in the transition rate setting.
KEY 1 CUT
The KEY 1 CUT button for the upstream keyer is used to cut the upstream keyer on or off air and
indicates whether it is currently on or off air. The button is illuminated if the upstream keyer is
currently on air.
