The
KEY PRIOR
button is lit, indicating a key
priority transition is selected. If a key is not
currently on-air, a warning is displayed.
2.
Use the
ME
knob to select the ME that you
want to change the priority of the keys on.
3.
Use the
Key X
buttons in Current and Next
areas to set the order of the keys on the ME.
Layer 1 is the bottom layer, with all other
keys on top of it, and Layer 4 is the top layer,
with all other keys on top of it. When the
priority is changed, the remaining keys shift
layers to accommodate the change.
• Current — sets the order of the keys
now, even if they are on-air. Changing
the current key priority of on-air keys
may produce undesired effects.
• Next — sets the order of the keys after
the Key Priority transition.
4.
Select the transition type you want to use
(
DISS
, or
WIPE
only).
5.
Perform the transition.
To Manually Set the Current Key Priority
You can manually set the key priority for the
keyers from the Transition and Keyers modules.
Manually setting the key priority changes the
Current key priority, and cannot be applied with
a key priority transition.
This procedure provides an example of setting
a key priority. Any combination of keys can be
used in place of those used.
1.
Press and hold the
KEY PRIOR
button on the
Transition module.
2.
Press the
SEL
button for Key 3 on the Keyers
module. This places Key 3 on top of all the
other keys.
3.
Press the
SEL
button for Key 2 on the Keyers
module. This places Key 2 on top of all the
other keys, including Key 3.
Keys 1, 4, 5, and 6 remain in their original
order.

Release the
KEY PRIOR
button.
Transition Limits
Sets the point where a transition will stop. This
allows you to have all transitions on an ME
proceed only half way and stop. The next
transition is performed from that stop point
back to the original starting point. With a
Transition Limit in place, a transition will not
proceed to the other end of the transition.
Note:
Because a transition limit stops a transition before it
completes, a transition that uses a transition limit does not
advance to the next shot. The transition progresses part-way
through the transition, and then returns to the original point.
To Set a Transition Limit
Tip:
When setting the transition limit, if you preview the
transition you will be able to better achieve the look you want
to achieve.
1.
Move the fader handle to the point in the
transition that you want the transition to
stop.
2.
Press
TRANS LIMIT
to set the stop point.
3.
Move the fader back to the original position.
If the fader is moved ahead to the opposite
limit, the transition limit will not be set
properly. The fader must be returned to the
original position.
To Use a Transition Limit
Note:
A Transition limit only works with an auto transition
performed from the Transition module. Key only, fader, or cut
transitions do not use the transition limit.
1.
Press
TRANS LIMIT
on the Transition
module that you want to perform the
transition limit on.
The segment in the transition progress bar
blinks where the transition limit has been
set.
2.
Press
AUTO TRANS
.
The transition progresses to the stop point.
3.
Press
AUTO TRANS
.
The transition reverses back to the start
point.
Roll Clip
You can tie the play-out of a VTR, Video Server,
or Audio Server to the next transition, or have
the clip play immediately. Roll Clip only works
with external devices that are being controlled
by the switcher.
