Working with Channels
When you Fly a key, a channel is assigned to the keyer. That channel consumes one or two Squeeze &
Tease channel resources, depending on the type of key you are flying. As you assign additional
channels, more Squeeze & Tease channel resources are consumed until there are none available. You
must unassign channels in order to reclaim Squeeze & Tease channel resources. Refer to the section
“
Channel Status ” on page 12–18 for information on verifying the status of your channels.
Assigning Multiple Channels to a Flying Key
Your Synergy 100 MD switcher allows you to assign a second channel to Key 1 as long as there are
sufficient Squeeze & Tease MD resources available.
Use the following procedure to assign and unassign channels to a key:
1. Press
KEY1
in the Transition Control Group . This assigns the next available Channel
to Key 1. The channel in use displays. If you are on one of the Squeeze & Tease menus,
Key 1
will be displayed in the Channel Listing section.
2. Select the
PST PATT
button in the Effects Keyer Group .
3. Press
FLY KEY
in the Effects Keyer Group to assign a Channel to the Keyer and
display the channel as in use.

5. To assign a second Key to the same Keyer, press and hold
PST PATT
and press
FLY
KEY
. This assigns Channel 2 to the Keyer.
6. To free up Squeeze & Tease resources, press and hold
PST PATT
and press
FLY KEY
to unassign the active Channel.
7. Select a different video signal for the Fly Key by pressing a different crosspoint button
on the Key bus.
8. Press and hold the middle
SEL
