MultiDSK Option
The MultiDSK™ option adds two Downstream Keyers to the Synergy 100 MD Switcher . These two
DSKs are named DSK4 , and DSK5 . MultiDSK is currently only available for Auto-Select Keys.
When MultiDSK is enabled, BNCs B01 to B06 are locked, and Preview with Overlay is defaulted to
BNC B07 . Refer to the section “ MultiDSK Setup ” of your Synergy 100 MD Engineering Manual
for information on output configurations for MultiDSK.
When your external Downstream Keyers option is configured, the TRANS LIMIT and PST BLACK
buttons will become DSK4 DISS , and DSK5 DISS , respectively. To accommodate this, a Key Caps
Kit is included with your option package. For new customers who purchase a new Synergy 100 MD
Switcher with a downstream Keyer options package, the appropriate Key caps are installed in the
panel before shipping.
The following topics are discussed in this section:
• MultiDSK Operation
• Setting MultiDSK Sources and Transition Rates
• DSK Drop
• Isolate MultiDSK
• MultiDSK Control Using a GPI
Refer to the section “ Downstream Keyer Group ” on page 7-5 for more information on performing a
Downstream Key.
MultiDSK Operation
The addition of the MultiDSK option alters the functionality and appearance of some of the buttons on
the control panel. the
TRANS LIMIT
and
PST BLACK
buttons become
DSK4 DISS
, and
DSK5
DISS
, respectively.
When the MultiDSK™ option is enabled, the
DSK4 DISS
and
DSK5 DISS
buttons allow you to
dissolve the Keys on and off-air.
The new buttons for the MultiDSK option operate as follows:
• The
DSK4 DISS
button allows you to transition Downstream Keyer 4 on and off-air.
When the Key is on-air, the
ON AIR
indicator below the
DSK4
button in the Transition
Group will be lit.
• The
DSK5 DISS
button allows you to transition Downstream Keyer 5 on and off-air.
When the Key is on-air, the
ON AIR
indicator below the
DSK5
button in the Transition
Group will be lit.
Setting MultiDSK Sources and Transition Rates
The video source and transition rate for your MultiDSK option can be configured via the MultiDSK
Menu .
The transition rate can be set between 0 and 999 frames. The default value is dependant on the video
frame rate configured on your switcher. A rate of
0 indicates a cut transition is performed, instead of a
dissolve transition.
