6. Key Bus Section (DSK groups only)
Each Downstream Key Group does not include a Key Type section. Instead, each DSK
includes an eight-button Key Bus , as shown below (with sample key source names):
Each of the eight crosspoints in the DSK’s Key Bus function as mini storage registers
for all parameters of a key, including key type, source, modifiers, clips — everything .
During on air operation, when a Key Bus crosspoint is pressed, all key parameters are
instantly called up for simplicity, convenience, and instant access.
Please note:
• You do not have to program identical sources on each DSK’s Key Bus . For
example, crosspoint 1 on DSK 1 can have CG 1, while crosspoint 1 on DSK 2 can
have CG 2. Effectively, you can program 16 different key sources spanning the two
DSKs.
• Although the crosspoints are typically programmed during switcher installation, the
simple programming procedure can be performed on-the-fly, during switcher
operation — if you need to quickly program a key source for use in the current
production. You may want to label one of the crosspoints “
TEMP ” (as shown in the
illustration above) for just this purpose.
• The default states for each DSK can be stored using the DSK Setup Menu . Refer to
the section “ Storing DSK Crosspoint Assignments ” on page 7–42 for details.
Refer to the section “ DSK Source Bus Setup ” on page 7–41 and the section
“ Performing a Downstream Key ” on page 7–39 for additional information.
7. Key Modifier Assignment Section (Synergy 2 DSK group only)
Because of its compact size, the Synergy 2’s DSK group contains only one set of key
modifiers, instead of one per DSK. As a result, two buttons are required for assigning the
modifiers.
• Press
DSK 1
to manually assign the buttons in Key Modifier Sections 1 and 2 to
DSK 1 . The button will automatically light if any button associated with DSK 1 is
pressed.
Note When you press AUTO TRANS in DSK 1, DSK 2, MLE KEY 1 or
MLE KEY 2, the following actions occur to show a key transition in
progress:
• The
DISS
button (in the Program/Preset Transition group or
MLE Transition Group ) lights.
• The DSK 1 , DSK 2 , KEY 1 or KEY 2 button lights (as
appropriate).
• The display above the Fader (in the Program/Preset Transition
group only ) briefly updates with the rate of the selected DSK’s
transition.
Refer to the section “ Using Keys ” on page 7–20 for more information.
