Changing a Key with a Background Change:
To add or subtract layers simultaneously with a change to the background video:
1.
Press the
[BGR]
button (if it is not already illuminated)
2.
Select the keys to transition with the background by pressing one or more of the
adjacent
[Key Transition]
buttons.
Each button pressed will illuminate orange (or red if the key is already on
program). As each Key Transition button is pressed, the Key content will appear
as an addition to the preview monitor. As each of the above [Key Transition]
buttons is pressed, its corresponding [Direct Key] button on the panel will also
change from green to orange.
3.
Press
[Cut]
(or Auto, or use the fader arm)
and the background video will
change, the illuminated keys will come on program, and their [Direct Key] buttons
on the panel will change illumination from orange to red.
4.4.4 Transitioning Keys with Multiple Keys or with the Background
All six keys can be used with each Transition Controls section in each M/E. This enables
any effects, such as a wipe or push-off, to be used for transitioning keys, either with or
without a background change.
In the above example, two keys were brought on program at the same time with the
background. If instead the keys are already on program before the transition, and you
wish to bring them off program as part of a transition, then the button illumination would
be as follows.
When their [Key Transition] button is pressed it will illuminate red, to indicate on-air
keys. The corresponding [Direct Key] PixButton will stay red. Now when [Cut] (or auto
or the fader) is pressed, the Key 1 and 2 will come off program as the background video
changes, and the [Direct Key 1] PixButton and [Direct Key 2] PixButton will change from
red to orange.
You may combine bringing keys on and off program in the same transition. For
example, if Key 1 is already on, and you wish to bring it off with a background transition,
while bringing on Key 2, the illumination of the [Key Transition] buttons would be:
