7) Direct Key Control Group
The four buttons in the
Direct Key Control Group
enable you to
directly
control
the two keyers in the M/E, without the need to “arm” them in the
Next Transition
Group
. When you use these four buttons, the red LEDs above the
KEY 1
and
KEY 2
buttons function in the normal manner.
Figure 3-16.

paused. Once pressed, the transition completes fully.
~
When the
T-Bar
is positioned between the
BG
and
PST
buses (off of a
limit), almost all transitions are possible. For example:
S
BG
+
MIX
enabled — if the
T-Bar
is positioned half-way between the
BG
and
PST
buses (creating a 50% mix), pressing
CUT KEY 1
cuts
the key in (or out) over the mix.
S
BG
+
WIPE
enabled — if the
T-Bar
is positioned half-way between
the
BG
and
PST
buses (creating a split-screen wipe), pressing
MIX
KEY 2
mixes in the key over the split screen.
S
KEY 1
+
MIX
enabled — if the
T-Bar
is positioned half-way between
the
BG
and
PST
buses (creating a 50% mix of the key), pressing
MIX KEY 1
mixes in the key to 100%.
S
KEY 1
+
WIPE
enabled — if the
T-Bar
is positioned half-way
between the
BG
and
PST
buses (wiping the key halfway on),
pressing
MIX KEY 1
is inhibited. However, pressing
CUT KEY 1
can be performed.
Note
You can use
AUTO TRAN
and the
T-Bar
together. For
example, you can start a transition manually, and continue it
automatically. In Chapter 7, refer to the “
” section on page 285 for full details.
