In the M/E, the four buttons in the
Direct Key Control Group
enable you to
directly
control
the two keyers, without the need to “arm” them in the
Next Transition Group
. The red
LEDs above the
KEY 1
and
KEY 2
buttons function in the normal manner.
Use the following steps to perform a direct cut key:
1.
Ensure that the key(s) you wish to transition are properly set up. Refer to the
“
” section for details.
2.
Press
CUT KEY 1
to cut Key 1 on or off (depending on its current state).
3.
Press
CUT KEY 2
to cut Key 2 on or off (depending on its current state).
Use the following steps to perform a direct mix key:
1.
Ensure that the key(s) you wish to transition are properly set up. Refer to the
“
” section for details.
2.
Press
MIX KEY 1
to mix Key 1 on or off (depending on its current state).
3.
Press
MIX KEY 2
to mix Key 2 on or off (depending on its current state).
Please note the following important points regarding the
Direct Control
buttons:
•
Unlike the
AUTO TRANS
button, the two
MIX KEY
buttons cannot be paused.
Once pressed, the “direct” transition completes fully.
•
When the
T-Bar
is positioned between the
BG
and
PST
buses (off of a limit),
almost all “direct” transitions are available. In Chapter 3, refer to the “
” heading on page 72 for details.
Note
Remember that you can use these “direct” functions
regardless of where the
T-Bar
is currently positioned.
