and use the Alpha knob to select a different alpha
source.
Key Copy
You can copy the entire contents of a keyer to another
keyer in the same, or a different ME. The entire contents
of the destination keyer are replaced with the contents
of the source keyer.
When you copy a key, the switcher tries to assign
resources to the destination key to match the source key.
If these resources are not available, the switcher steals
resources in the following order.
1.
From off-air keys that are not the source key.
2.
From the source key, if it is not on-air.
3.
From on-air keys that are not the source key.
4.
From the source key, even if it is on-air.
To Copy a Key
This procedure copies the contents of Key 1 to Key 3 as
an example. Use the same procedure for any key
combination.
1.
Press and hold the
KEY 3 SEL
button.
This is the destination keyer that you want to
copy to.
2.
Press the
KEY 1 SEL
button.
This is the source keyer that you want to copy
from.
Key Swap
You can swap the entire contents of any two keyers in
the same, or different MEs. The video source, position,
and key type are all swapped between keyers. This allows
you to change the apparent key priority, or layering, of
the keys in the video output. For example, key 3 appears
over key 2. If you perform a swap between key 3 and
key 2, it appears as if key 2 is now over key 3.
Keep the following in mind when performing a key swap:
•
Key swap does not change the on-air status of a
keyer.
•
If a DVE key is set to freeze, it will be unfrozen
by the swap.
•
A key swap can be recorded as part of a custom
control.
•
You cannot swap between keyers on different MEs
on a C10/C1 control panel.
To Perform a Key Swap
This procedure swaps the contents of Key 2 and Key 3
as an example. Use the same procedure for any key
combination.
1.
Press and hold the
KEY 2 SEL
button.
2.
Press the
KEY 3
button in the next transition
area.
