Split Keys
A Split key allows you to assign a different alpha source
for a key than the fill/alpha associations that are set up
during configuration or to use a separate alpha source
for a Self key.
A split key can be applied to an AUTO SELECT, or
SELF KEY.
To Set Up a Split Key
A split key works on an Auto Select or Self Key that
has been set up and you want to apply a different alpha
to.
1.
Set up your key with the video source you want
to use.
2.
Press and hold the Auto Select or Self Key,
depending on the key type you are splitting.
3.
Use the Alpha knob to select a different alpha
source if required.
4.
Press the Alpha knob to accept the new alpha.
Key Copy
You can copy the entire contents of a keyer to another
keyer in the same, or a different MLE. The entire contents
of the destination keyer are replaced with the contents
of the source keyer.
When you copy a key, the switcher tries to assign
resources to the destination key to match the source key.
If these resources are not available, the switcher steals
resources in the following order.
1.
From off-air keys that are not the source key.
2.
From the source key, if it is not on-air.
3.
From on-air keys that are not the source key.
4.
From the source key, even if it is on-air.
To Copy a Keyer to Another
This procedure copies the contents of Key 1 to Key 3 as
an example. Use the same procedure for any key
combination.
1.
Press and hold the KEY 3 SEL button.
This is the destination keyer that you want to
copy to.
2.
Press the KEY 1 SEL button.
This is the source keyer that you want to copy
from.
Key Swap
You can swap the entire contents of any two keyer in the
same, or different MLEs. The video source, position, and
key type are all swapped between keyers. This allows
you to change the apparent key priority, or layering, of
the keys in the video output. For example, key 3 appears
over key 2. If you perform a swap between key 3 and
key 2, it appears as if key 2 is now over key 3.
Keep the following in mind when performing a key swap:
• Key swap does not change the on-air status of a
keyer.
• If a DVE key is set to freeze, it will be unfrozen
by the swap.
• A key swap can be recorded as part of a custom
control.
• You cannot swap between keyers on different
MLEs on a Carbonite 1 control panel.
To Perform a Key Swap
This procedure swaps the contents of Key 2 and Key 3
as an example. Use the same procedure for any key
combination.
