7–52 • Keying Synergy Series Operation Guide (v18)
Use the following procedure to fly a key:
1. Ensure that the Squeeze & Tease Option is installed in the selected MLE. The
FLY
KEY
button will not light if the option is not installed.
2. Note the following important rules for the
FLY KEY
button. These rules apply to both
the MLE keyers and the downstream keyers:
• You can only fly one Auto Select Key in an MLE at a time. If one keyer is already
flying an Auto Select Key , you cannot enable the
FLY KEY
button in the other
keyer.
• In an MLE, you can fly any combination of Preset Pattern Keys , Chroma Keys or
Self Keys — one in keyer 1 and the other in keyer 2.
3. Set up the desired key type and source, and clip the key using the controls in the Effects
Control group.
4. In the selected MLE keyer (or Downstream keyer), press
FLY KEY
. The key is now
re-routed through the internal DVE.
• If the key is a Self Key , Chroma Key or Auto Select Key , you can now size and
position the key and apply a variety of special Fly Key modifiers such as mirror,
crop and freeze.
Each Fly Key modifier is detailed below. Clip and gain can be used in the normal
manner.
• If the key is a Preset Pattern Key , the pattern itself does not become the border.
Please note:
~
Preset Pattern keys can be bordered using the keyer’s border controls. The
Dual Border Generator option must be installed. See the “ Bordering Keys ”
section for instructions.
~ Preset Pattern modifiers (e.g., clip, gain, aspect, border, soft) do not affect
what is on screen.
~ Fly Key modifiers (e.g., size, position, mirror, crop, freeze) are enabled using
the Squeeze & Tease Menus .
When
FLY KEY
is pressed, Squeeze & Tease Menu 1-2 is displayed.
Note Refer to the section “ Installed Options Menus ” on page 3–10 for
instructions on how to verify the status of your installed hardware and
software options.
Note When you press PST PATT , the system automatically selects FLY
KEY , automatically selects a box wipe by default, and displays the
Squeeze & Tease menu.
