Advanced Operations
Split Layered Mode
• If a Secondary partition is unassigned (none), E-MEM control is only available on that
M/E’s individual Local E-MEM when it has been delegated to a Secondary partition. The
Master E-MEM will have no control of that M/Es Secondary partition.
• If a Secondary partition is enabled, then E-MEM control of that Secondary partition will
be available from the Master E-MEM. Control continues to be available from that M/E’s
individual Local E-MEM when it is delegated to its Secondary partition.
• If a Secondary partition is attached to its Primary partition level, E-MEM control of the
two partitions will be linked together. Specifically, Master E-MEM operations for that
level will always affect both partitions. When the individual M/E is delegated, E-MEM
operations will affect both partitions. However, when the individual ME Secondary is
delegated, E-MEM operation will only affect that Secondary partition.
Split Layered Mode
Video Compositing, or Layered Mode is a feature that allows the operator to composite two
keyers together to create a single video/key pair. These two signals are to be routed in
parallel to provide a much cleaner key than would normally be possible. This key pair can
be re-entered into the switcher on another keyer to create more key layers on a different
M/E. This compositing of keys can be done on either or both of the primary and secondary
outputs.
Split Layered mode can be particularly useful for taking more keyers than are available on
one M/E board. For instance you can split ME 1 and assign keyer 1 to the primary side and
keyers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (on a six keyer system) to the secondary side. On Pgm-Pst, assign
keyer 6 to ME 1 secondary as the source for the keyer. You now have the six keyers on Pgm-
Pst plus the ME 1 Keyers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on Keyer 4.
Layering is enabled on an M/E-by-M/E basis in the ME Mode menu. When enabled for the
primary output, the A output has black selected as the background source and the B output
acts as the key cut signal for the keyers selected for the primary output. Similarly, for the
secondary output the C output has black selected as the background source and the D
output acts as the key cut signal for the keyers selected. Priority of the layers is set using
normal keyer priority controls.
Split Layered Mode Menu Controls
The Layered panes are enabled only when the Split button is selected in the Mode pane.
Selecting Split, then selecting the Primary button sets the Primary partition to Layered
mode. Likewise, selecting the Secondary button sets the Secondary partition to Layered
mode.
