Key Modifier Mode Definition

Key modifier mode is defined by one of the following conditions:

Note

A key does not have to be visible on the Program or the Preset bus in order
to be in Key Modifier Mode.

Exactly one key is selected and/or active (low or high tally), or

Any

Key Select

button is selected and held down (its tally will not

change).

While the

Key Select

button is held, key modifier buttons may be pressed

or any key modifier potentiometer can be adjusted. If such changes are
made to the key, releasing the

Key Select

button will not change its orig-

inal tally. However, if no changes are made to the key, releasing the

Key

Select

button will cause its tally to toggle.

Only one key can be modified at a time, and only if in modifier mode. If
multiple

Key Select

buttons are held simultaneously, the left-most one is con-

sidered to be selected.

If no key is in modify mode, key modifier buttons tally off. If a key is in
modifier mode, key modifier buttons tally off/low as per the state of the
key.

Matte Button

Pressing this button (

Figure 2-11 on page 2-24

) fills the selected keyer in

modifier mode with an internally-generated matte signal (matte fill). The

Brightness

,

Saturation

, and

Hue

knobs can be used to control the matte gener-

ator parameters (while holding down the

Mode/Function

button) as desired

or a default matte can be set or recalled as explained below.

When selected, the

Matte

button will tally low if it was off, or stay low tally

if it was already selected. If an adjustment was made, the

Matte

button will

always remain selected (low tally) when the button is released. It may be
held down during these adjustments.

If no adjustments are made, the

Matte

button toggles between off and low

(selected) on button release.

Set and Recall Matte Default

To set a matte fill default the keyer must be in modify mode, viewable on
the Preview Monitor, and not on-air. Perform the following steps:

Note

This is the only default value (refer to

Table 2-5 on page 2-32

) that is set at

the MMCP rather than from the Configuration Manager on the PC.

Press the

Matte

button to enable matte mode on the selected keyer.
