Performing Key Transitions
You can transition any combination of video effects (including 1 DVE and 4 DSKs) to program
output.
Follow these steps to transition one or more keyers to program output:
1 Use the ‘DSK Browser’ menus to select keys and perhaps change their settings. The names of
the selected keys become visible on the associated DSK buttons. See Changing Key Settings ,
following.
2 Press the desired DSK button(s) on preset. Selected DSK buttons are high-tally.
On preset, the DSK buttons have 3 states: cut, fade, and off. Press the button again to cycle it to
its next state. When the state is ‘cut’, the DSK cuts to the program bus during the next transition
and when the state is ‘fade’, the DSK fades (at its current rate) to the program bus.
3 Optionally, set up other video effects, voice-overs, and transition type and rate.
4 Press the Transition button.
To remove key(s) from program, press the desired DSK button(s) on the preset bus to deselect them
and perform a transition in the normal way. Here too, the DSK buttons have 3 states: cut, fade, and
off. When the state is ‘cut’, the DSK cuts from the program bus during the next transition and when
the state is ‘fade’, the DSK fades from the program bus.
Please note: you can “hot cut” keys directly on and off the program bus at any time, as required,
simply by pressing the desired keyer on the program bus. Hot cuts are not recommended.
Hot cuts have side effects on the preset bus, depending on which transition options are active in the
currently selected Imagestore 750.
