Half M/E (HD Only)
DSK Mode Description
• The Half M/E used as DSK will have 4 lum/lin keyers able to use
coupled (auto select) matte signals as well as video (self) key. The pri-
ority of the keyers will be able to be set - and altered via mix/dissolve
on-air.
• The DSKs will be over the top of any M/E keyers and their priority will
not be able to set any of them inside the priority scheme of the M/E
keys.
• There will be a clean feed system available from DSK allowing 2 inde-
pendent outputs with selectable keyers on them.
• The background sources will be controlled by the PGM A/B rows of the
coupled M/E (usually PGM/PST) whether that M/Es Half M/E UPK
is ON or OFF as this is logical operationally. The input sources of the
Half M/E will be set to the output of the M/E and will not be change-
able.
• The DSKs will only mix and will exhibit non-composited keying trans-
parency during their transitions.
• DSK Preview will be affected by M/E transitions but at the end of all
transitions will correctly represent the DSK Next transition.
• DSK transitions will be coupled to the M/E transition so that selecting
a DSK while the Half M/E UPK is ON will cause the DSK Next Transi-
tion selected to change as the M/E transition, CUT/MIX/DISS/DPM,
is operated.
• Half M/E PGM and PVW will need to be assigned to crosspoints so that
an AUX bus, for instance, can show the PVW and route the Half M/E
output to transmission output.
• Any M/E with the Half M/E button switched ON will control for that
time, the sources and transition status of the DSKs.
• Split faders, if an M/E other than the one set by the menu couple selec-
tion will cause unwanted DSK appearances and this is to be docu-
mented but not excluded.
