• Within MLE 1 and MLE 2, by themselves , the Background and Preset buses are
electronically the farthest upstream, Key 1 is displayed mid stream and Key 2 is
displayed downstream.
~ Visually, all images on the background buses appear behind both keyers.
~ In the default state, a key enabled on Key 1 is displayed visually over the two
background buses (and all transitions), but visually under Key 2.
~ In the default state, a key enabled on Key 2 is displayed visually over the
background buses and Key 1.
~ If the
KEY OVER
button is pressed in Key 1, the priority is changed and Key 1 is
displayed visually over Key 2.
• Within MLE 3 itself, the Program and Preset buses are electronically the farthest
upstream, DSK 1 is displayed mid stream and DSK 2 is displayed downstream.
~ Visually, all images on the background buses appear behind both DSKs.
~ A key enabled on DSK 1 is displayed visually over the background buses (and all
transitions), but visually under DSK 2. A key enabled on DSK 2 is displayed
visually over the background buses and DSK 1.
~ The Fade to Black module is electronically downstream of the entire switcher.
Regardless of the MLE selected on air, Fade to Black will visually take any
switcher MLE to black.
• When MLE 1 is re-entered into MLE 2 or MLE 3, or when MLE 2 is re-entered into
MLE 3, the rules for upstream and downstream apply.
~ Visually, all images on MLE 1 (including backgrounds and keys) appear behind
MLE 2 and MLE 3.
~ Visually, all images on MLE 2 (including backgrounds and keys) appear over MLE
1, but under and MLE 3.
~ Visually, all images on MLE 3 and the DSKs appear over MLE 1 and MLE 2.
• When MLE 2 is re-entered upstream into MLE 1 (a condition shown in dotted lines on
the illustration above), the rules for upstream and downstream are slightly changed.
~ Visually, all images on the re-entered MLE appear under the destination (upstream)
MLE’s two keyers — regardless of the bus on which the MLE is re-entered. The
re-entered MLE moves upstream electronically — visually behind all downstream
MLE’s (except itself).
Operating
Tip
You can also change the priority of the two keyers in the Key Setup
Menus by toggling the Key Over softkey between On and Off . Refer
