can be assigned resources (keyers and wipe generators) of that M/E. Each partition can be
setup and controlled from the Control Panel using the
Pri and Sec delegation buttons, and
each partition has its own E-MEM sub-level, permitting precise independent control of M/E
partition effects. A powerful aspect of Split Mode is control of the partitioning resides in the
E-MEM system itself. It is possible to create M/E partitions when needed with an effect
recall, and then quickly return the M/Es to full functionality with another effect recall. The
Split Mode feature also provides Preview outputs for each partition
Putting M/Es in Split Mode essentially gives the operator more M/Es (up to eight on a 4-M/E
GV Switcher system), each with part of the M/Es functionality. This can be useful for some
styles of production. In fast paced programs an operator may dedicate an M/E to a simple
task for the duration of the show and never change it. Split Mode provides a way to use
some resources of an M/E for these set-and-forget requirements, and allow the operator to
use the remaining resources of the M/E for other purposes.
An example of using Split Mode in this manner is a shot clock at a sporting event. The shot
clock composite requires only one or two keys plus a background and uses a fixed camera
that doesn’t move. During pre-production M/E 1 can be split and the Secondary partition
can be set up with the shot clock composite. When the shot clock is needed during the
show, that partition of the M/E is taken on-air. The Control Panel M/E-1 controls can be
delegated to the Primary partition and be used for other effects, which can be set up,
recalled, and run independently from the Secondary partition used for the shot clock.
Split Mode can also be used for other purposes. For example, complex composites could be
built on the Secondary partition of an M/E by assigning all keyers to that partition. The
Primary partition of that M/E is then used only for background transitions between the A
and B buses.
Splitting an M/E with Split Mode is useful when independent control of each partition is
desired, so E-M/EM recalls and transitions only affect part of the M/E. If you want an
alternate output from the same M/E but wish to have the effects and transitions track on
both outputs, Programmable Clean Feed mode is probably the better choice.
M/E Split Mode in the Menu
In Split operating mode, the M/E is divided into Primary and Secondary partitions. The
Primary partition has the Pgm A and Pgm B outputs that use the Background A and B buses,
and the Secondary output has the Pgm C and D outputs that use the Utility buses. The Pgm
Out columns on the menu are re-arranged when Split mode is selected to show the A and B
Primary outputs on the left and the C and D Secondary outputs on the right.
The Secondary Assign pane is used to assign Keyers to the Secondary partition.
Assignments made here affect what elements are learned and recalled by the E-MEM levels
(see Split M/Es and E-MEM Control on page 363). Selecting an item so its indicator
illuminates green, assigns it to the Secondary partition. The buttons for these items are
then activated on the Secondary partition outputs. Unselected items remain assigned to
Note: E-MEM control of the Primary and Secondary M/E outputs and
Layered parameters (on the ME Mode menu) have been placed in the
ME/eDPM Part sub-level. This is a logical organization of M/E
output/layered control for E-MEM recall and will prevent M/E Secondary
output recall issues that may have occurred with earlier releases.
