For DSK / Key layers, source selection is made using a drop-down menu above the integrated viewport located
in the DSK/Key control group.
Hint: Right-click input buttons to select sources from video routers – see Section 3.11.1 (Configuring Routers).
SECTION 9.6
LINKING SWITCHER ROWS
It can be useful to link two (or more) Switcher or M/E source rows together,
so cause them to operate synchronously. Program and Preview rows and M/E
source rows all show a triangle beside the row label at left. Click it to open a
menu that lets you set up linking.
As you’d expect, rows assigned to the same color groups are linked. A
selection made in any linked row updates the selection of all other rows in
the same color group to match. Thus Figure 105 shows the
Input A row for an
M/E linked to the PGM row of the main Switcher . The Ungroup menu item
removes the current row from a group, while Clear this group removes all
rows from the current group.
SECTION 9.7 TRANSITIONS AND EFFECTS
We discussed video layers in Section 9.4. With this in mind , it’s easy to comprehend the layout and use of
the Transition controls. Let’s consider the Transition controls in the standard Switcher layout first.
9.7.1
STANDARD MODE
At left in this group are the main Transition controls, including the T-bar . The control groups right of the T-
Bar provide configuration and control options for the individual DSK layers.
