Section 2 — Control Panels
Multiple Keyer Delegations
The M/E Keyer Delegation buttons can delegate the Keyers, Mattes,
Masks, and/or the Transform subpanels to more than one keyer. If a sub-
panel’s controls have been delegated to multiple keyers, the subpanel del-
egation buttons will go off, to indicate a single keyer is not being controlled
by that subpanel. The remaining subpanel buttons can only display status
for one of the keyers (the first one pressed). Any changes now made will be
applied to all the keyers involved. Any context sensitive delegation inside
the subpanel will be based on the first keyer selected. For example, if Key
1 is a Chroma Key and Key 2 is a Preset Pattern, adjusting Clip should
change the clip for both Key 1 and Key 2. However, since Key 2 does not u
se Clip (being a Preset Pattern) it is unaffected. The size of the Preset
Pattern will not change.
Keyer Bus Delegation
Holding down an M/E Keyer delegation button will also delegate that
source selection bus for control. For example, holding down M/E Key 3
causes the Key 1/3 bus row to be delegated to control Key 3. Sources can
then be selected for that bus without having to use the
Alt Buses
source select
modifier button.
Holding down an M/E Keyer delegation button also momentary delegates
the M/E Modifier subpanels (see below).
Momentary Delegation
An operator may sometimes have subpanel controls delegated to a certain
object, but need to make a quick change to a different object. For example,
the M/E Keyer delegation buttons permit momentary delegation of the
Keyers/Masks and Mattes subpanels. Pressing and holding one of these
button for a preset period makes the delegation to that M/E’s keyer last
only as long as the button is held down. Upon release, the previous delega-
tion is restored. The individual delegation buttons in the Keyers and
Mattes subpanels also support momentary delegation. A user preference
sets the hold down delay.
Hold to Preview
Holding down an M/E Keyer delegation button can also activate Hold to
