Note

E-MEM control of the Primary and Secondary ME outputs and Layered
parameters (on the ME Mode menu) have been placed in the ME/eDPM Part
sub-level. This is a logical organization of ME output/layered control for
E-MEM recall and will prevent ME Secondary output recall issues that may
have occurred with earlier releases.

An example of using Split Mode in this manner is a shot clock at a sporting
event. The shot clock composite requires only one or two keys plus a back-
ground and uses a fixed camera that doesn’t move. During pre-production
ME 1 can be split and the Secondary partition can be set up with the shot
clock composite. When the shot clock is needed during the show, that par-
tition of the ME is taken on-air. The Control Panel ME 1 controls can be del-
egated to the Primary partition and be used for other effects, which can be
set up, recalled, and run independently from the Secondary partition used
for the shot clock (see

page 276

for setup information for this scenario).

Split Mode can also be used for other purposes. For example, complex com-
posites could be built on the Secondary partition of an ME by assigning all
six keyers to that partition. The Primary partition of that ME is then used
only for background transitions between the A and B buses.

Splitting an ME with Split Mode is useful when independent control of
each partition is desired, so E-MEM recalls and transitions only affect part
of the ME. If you want an alternate output from the same ME but wish to
have the effects and transitions track on both outputs, Programmable Clean
Feed mode is probably the better choice.
