Configuration Manager 2-17
Keyer On/Off : Allows events to have an offset from the beginning of the event to be
specified. Define a secondary Keyer event in which a hole is cut in the associated primary
event’s video output and is filled with the output of the Keyer source. Default is disabled.
Transition Key : Similar to Keyer On/Off (above), except that the keyer is brought up at the
start of its associated primary event with the same transition type. This type of secondary
event has a configuration dialog box similar to
Keyer On/Off ; however, for the transition
key, the value of the offset cannot be set. It is possible to define a transition key event so it
lasts as long as the primary event. To do this, make the duration field blank. If the key
hold option is on, the key is held over the transition in the same way as an ordinary
secondary keyer event. Default is disabled.
Audio Over On/Off : The Audio Over secondary event is used to add another audio source
over the primary audio/video source. The audio over source may replace the primary
audio source or be mixed with it. Default is disabled.
Transition Audio Over : Allows you to specify a secondary audio event to coincide with the
primary event in the same manner as a transition keyer event, as described in Keyer On/Off
(above). This event has a set of options that are identical to the audio over on/off
secondary event, except that the ontime option is missing (the ontime for a transition
audio over event is set to 0). In order to have the secondary audio event end at the same
time as its primary event, make the duration field blank. Default is disabled.
Data Event : This type of secondary event is associated with a device but does not generate
any video output. Instead, the action specified by the event is performed at the time the
event would be put on air, had the event been associated with a video device.
For video disk servers, a data event is used to control and automate the deletion of spots
from the server. The use of this event with video disk servers requires an accurate
scheduler or traffic program. If the events are not used carefully, spots may be accidentally
deleted in the video disk server. Secondary data events are used to command serial
devices requiring a simple command that does not need to run a countdown on the time
of an event. Default is enabled.
Barter Spot : Barter spot events are associated with a primary event and are logged to the
asrun log when the primary event runs to completion and is logged. Barter spot events are
treated as comments by the automation system and are not played. Default is disabled.
Record Switcher : A secondary event that performs extra switching for inputs. During a
recording, this switches to the secondary event’s source. The name of the source to switch
to is entered in the title field. This name must also be in the source name table for the
switcher that is supplying the video to the record device.
