Other Key Setting Operations

Using an external processed key

A key fill and a key source signal subjected to key processing in a keyer can be used as reentry signals on any M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank.

Use the following procedure.

1 Select the keyer to be allocated.

2 In the key control block, press [PROC KEY], turning it on.

The button lights amber, and on the currently selected keyer, the key fill and key source are assigned to reentry signals PROC V and PROC K.

Using the show key function

While the [SHOW KEY] button is held down, the key-processed key source signal appears on the specified output. (Show key mode)

Even when the [SHOW KEY] button is released, for a preset time the show key mode is maintained. You can specify the output to which the show key function is applied and set the time for which the show key mode is maintained after releasing the button in a Setup menu.

For details, see “Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes and Frame Memory (Key/ Wipe/FM Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).

To couple the selection in the key delegation buttons of the independent key transition control block so that the key control block delegation selection is automatically switched, in the key control block press the [AUTO DELEG] button, turning it on.

Holding down a key type button ([LUM], [LIN], [CRK], [CVK], or [KEY WIPE]) recalls the key default values (page 45).
