Global Channel Assignments
When a keyer is assigned to a Global channel, it is also affected by trans-
forms of that Global channel, permitting the easy creation of complicated
moves. Multiple keyers can be assigned to Global channel, allowing coor-
dinated moves of all the assigned keyers.
A keyer is associated with the Global channel by delegating the keyer, then
touching the
Global
modifier button in the Enables pane on the upper right
side of the Transform Engine menu so it is illuminated. No information
appears in the
Global
data pad itself, and some functions (Skew, Crop,
Reverse) are inactive for these channels and so are grayed out.
Key Off Control
The
Key Off
button located in the Enables pane on the upper right of the
menu is used to turn off the key signal processing for the delegated keyer,
resulting in a full raster image. For example, suppose you want to fly a
graphic that is normally accompanied by a key signal. Turning the key off
forces the graphic to full raster, ignoring the key. The
Key Off
button is inac-
tive for Global channels.
Easy Cube Control
When a channel is used to create a cube or slab, turning on the
Easy Cube
button automatically translates the delegated channel to the visible face of
the shape as it is rotated in space.
Transform Controls
The Source and Target transform controls below the delegation matrix del-
egate what 3-D transformation will be controlled with the soft knobs or
pop-up keypad entry. Selecting one of the transform buttons activates the
soft knobs on the right side of the Menu panel to control specific parame-
ters of that transform and delegates the Path Control pane to that trans-
form.
