AuxKeys significantly increase the Keying power of the switcher but do so without tying up an MLE.
AuxKeys are controlled via configuration menus, Custom Control macro buttons, or by temporarily
using the buttons of an MLE.
Applications for AuxKeys include the following:
• Downstream bug insertion . This can ensure that a logo remains inserted regardless of
what is being done in the MLEs. This frees up MLE keyers .
• Multi-language applications . Add CG keys to clean feed outputs. This often frees up
one or more MLEs.
• Multi-client applications . Add keys to MLE outputs that present a variation on the
main program output. This often frees up one or more MLEs.
• Multicasting . Produce programming for two regions simultaneously but brand them
differently without consuming MLE keyers and adding production complexity. This
frees up MLE keyers.
• Stadium concourse and box seat monitors . Add different sponsor branding to different
stadium locations. This frees up MLEs and eliminates the need for external keyers.
• Pre-keying . Add keys to sources before they are brought into the switcher MLEs. Time
the AuxKeys early and the MLEs late and sources can be fed back into the switcher as
inputs.
This frees up MLEs or unwieldy external keyers .
• Pre-mixing . Mix between two sources before they are brought into the switcher MLEs.
This makes it possible to dissolve inside any number of DVE boxes while only
consuming a single MLE.
This effect would normally take one MLE for every DVE box.
• Studio Plasmas . If your set has multiple live plasma displays with images that require
keys to be inserted, AuxKeys are an ideal, cost-effective solution. This frees up MLEs or
external keyers.
MultiDSK (DSK 3 and DSK 4)
This option adds a third and a fourth linear Downstream Keyer to the pair of standard internal DSKs.
These Downstream Keyers have access to every video source, and are fully integrated into the
PGM/PST MLE transition system with full preview.
The hardware for this option resides on the Video Output Board where the PGM/PST MLE Program
and Preview outputs have been assigned, and will consume four additional multi-format outputs in
order to supply the DSKs with video and key sources.
Squeeze & Tease MD and Carrier
The Squeeze & Tease MD Carrier is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal
Processing) module. This board must be purchased in order to install the Squeeze & Tease MD option.
One Squeeze & Tease MD option provides two channels of 3D planar effects. Each MLE can have up
to two of these options. The option is available for all MLEs including the PGM/PST MLE (except
the PGM/PST MLE on the Synergy 1.5 and 2.5 Q/MD switchers).
Note On the Synergy 1 , this is DSK 1 and DSK 2, as the Synergy 1 does not
have any standard internal DSKs.
Note
One carrier will support all the hardware for MLEs 1 and 2.
