Up to two channel are dedicated to each DVE
key. This allows you to fly a key, or combine two
preset pattern keys in the keyer. Preset pattern
keys only use a single DVE channel and all other
key types use two.
Tip: Press CHNL MGMT or navigate to the DVE Menus >
Channel Management > DVE Allocation menu to view how
your DVE channels are currently allocated.
To Assign a Channel to a Keyer
You can turn the second DVE channel on and
select which one in the keyer is on top.
Tip: When you fly a preset pattern key, it already uses the first
DVE channel. To add a second preset pattern DVE key to the
same keyer, press and hold the PST PATT button and press 2D
DVE. The second key automatically uses the second DVE channel.
1. Navigate to the DVE menus for the DVE key
you want to configure and press DVE Menu
> Channel Management .
Tip: You can also press CHNL MGMT on the Keyers module
to navigate to the Channel Management menu. Once on
the Channel Management menu, pressing the CHNL
MGMT button again cycles through the channels and
double-pressing the button selects both of them if both
channels are active.
2. In the Key Combiner area, press Channel
1 , Channel 2 , or Both Channels to select the
channels that you want to turn on.
•
Channel 1 — only turn channel 1 on.
• Channel 2 — only turn channel 2 on.
• Both Channels — turn both channels on.
3. Next to Layering select how the channels
interact.
•
Automatic — channel layering is based
on the distance the channel is from you
in 3D space, or the size of the channel in
2D space. The channel that is closest to
you, or larger, covers the one that is
further away, or smaller. Use the
Dissolve knob to select the amount that
the top channel is dissolved into the
bottom channel when the channels
overlap in the same spot in 3D space.
• Chan 1 On Top — only turn channel 1
on.
• Chan 2 On Top — only turn channel 2
on.
• Intersecting — channel layering is the
similar to Automatic without the dissolve,
but the channels can intersect and
partially cover each other.
Tip: Press DVE Allocation to show you how your available
DVE channels are assigned. You can free up 3D channels
by pressing the 2D button for a keyer you want to release
the channels for. This turns the 3D key into a 2D key.
To Copy and Paste Channel Settings
Copy and paste the configuration of one or both
DVE channels to another on the same or a
different ME.
1. Navigate to the DVE menus for the DVE
channel that you want to copy.
2. Press the Channel button to select the
channel(s) you want to copy.
•
1 — copy channel one.
• 2 — copy channel two.
• 1 2 — copy channels one and two.
3. Press DVE Menu > Channel Copy .
4. Press the Channel button for the channel(s)
you want to paste to. This can be on the
same ME, or a different one.
•
1 — paste the contents of the clipboard
to channel one.
• 2 — paste the contents of the clipboard
to channel two.
• 1 2 — paste the contents of the clipboard
to channels one and two. If you copied
from channels 1 and 2, channel 1 will be
pasted to channel 1 and channel 2 to
channel 2. If you copied from a single
channel, that channel will be pasted to
both channels.
5. Press DVE Menu > Channel Paste .
Split Keys
A Split key allows you to assign a different alpha
source for a key than the alpha/fill associations
that are set up during installation, or the alpha
sources that are selected by the key type. Split
Keys are typically used for creative montages
and for keying moving video inside key shapes.
All split key assignments are temporary and will
revert back to the original setup if any other
source on the crosspoint bus is selected, unless
stored in a memory.
To Set Up a Split Key
1. Set up your key with the video source you
want to use.
