Since a single M/E accommodates four independent sources (Inputs A-D) at most, it
requires two M/Es to take full advantage of Metropolis A. Here’s how to set up the
most complex shot in this network-class virtual set group:
1. Select an unused M/E – let’s use M/E 1 for our example.
2. Click the button labeled Effect above the Effect thumbnail in the M/E pane.
3. Click the + sign that appears when you move the mouse over the label below
the thumbnail to open a Media Browser.
4. Click the NewTek label under the LiveSet heading in the Media Browser, and
choose “Metropolis A Wide” from the “Metropolis A” folder in the file pane at
right.
5. Assign keyed talent sources to Inputs A, B and C.
6. Assign another M/E (we’ll use M/E 2) to Input D.
This last source – Input D – will provides the imagery for the live ‘news tickers’
in the scene, as well as the three large monitors behind the keyed talent sources.
7. Select the tab for the second M/E –M/E 2 in our example, and set it to effect
mode as well.
8. Click the + sign that appears when you move the mouse over the label below
the effect thumbnail to open a Media Browser.
