Use the following steps to perform an automatic wipe key:
1. Ensure that the key(s) you wish to transition are properly set up. Refer to the
“
Key Setup” section for details.
2. In the Next Transition Group, select the layers that you wish to transition:
~ On the M/E, enable KEY 1 and/or KEY 2 as desired. If you want the
background to transition along with the selected key, enable
BG.
~ On the PGM bank, enable DSK. If you want the background to transition
along with the DSK, enable
BG.
3. On the Wipe Menu, select the desired pattern, direction, edge type, edge width,
and edge color (if a
Hard Edge wipe is selected).
4. Press AUTO TRAN.
Please note the following important points regarding automatic wipe keys:
• You can also press ALL TRAN (in the Custom Control Section) to perform the
transition on all buses simultaneously.
• Remember that there are a wide variety of auto-transition combinations available.
Refer to the “
Automatic Transitions” section on page 325 for details.

In the M/E, the four buttons in the Direct Key Control Group enable you to directly control
the two keyers, without the need to “arm” them in the
Next Transition Group. The red
LEDs above the
KEY 1 and KEY 2 buttons function in the normal manner.
Use the following steps to perform a direct cut key:
1. Ensure that the key(s) you wish to transition are properly set up. Refer to the
“
Key Setup” section for details.
2. Press CUT KEY 1 to cut Key 1 on or off (depending on its current state).
3. Press CUT KEY 2 to cut Key 2 on or off (depending on its current state).
Use the following steps to perform a direct mix key:
1. Ensure that the key(s) you wish to transition are properly set up. Refer to the
“
Key Setup” section for details.
2. Press MIX KEY 1 to mix Key 1 on or off (depending on its current state).
3. Press MIX KEY 2 to mix Key 2 on or off (depending on its current state).
Please note the following important points regarding the
Direct Control buttons:
• Unlike the AUTO TRANS button, the two MIX KEY buttons cannot be paused.
Once pressed, the “direct” transition completes fully.
• When the T-Bar is positioned between the BG and PST buses (off of a limit),
almost all “direct” transitions are available. In Chapter 3, refer to the “
M/E
Transition Section” heading on page 83 for details.
Note
Remember that you can use these “direct” functions
regardless of where the
T-Bar is currently positioned.
