Transition Chaining
Partition Sync Locks Primary/Secondary Mode On
Partition Sync selects the ME’s Primary and Secondary partition. The Pri
button high tallies red and the Sec button high tallies green to indicate this
mode. Without using Partition Sync, there is no way to lock the Pri/Sec
mode on, so if you have a Program Clean Feed set up on Primary and Sec-
ondary partitions for re-entry, and you forget to turn the Pri/Sec mode on
for that ME, upon transition the secondary partition would not re-enter as
a clean feed so the Program Clean Feed would be lost.
Operations
Background and Key Chaining and Partition Sync are configured in the
Menu Panel.
With the introduction of GV Switcher DoubleTake, you could Split an ME
and it’s keyers between two feeds, for example one feed in English using
the Primary Partition and one in French using the Secondary or you could
use one partition with keyers for Left-Eye and one for Right-Eye for use
with 3D. However, you were limited to six keyers divided between feeds,
two of them being “simple” keyers (Key 5 and Key 6). With Background
Chaining, you can have a split feed using two full MEs rather than two par-
titions, with the power and flexibility of up to six keyers per feed (four full
keyers and two simple) and two backgrounds (with the same or different
sources by using source substitution).
In addition, you are not limited to two MEs, you could chain the back-
grounds of all the MEs in your Control Panel. You could switch a multiple
feed show from the English ME and also feed the show in French and
Spanish using three MEs.
Creating Primary and Secondary MEs (Dual Feed)
In the following example procedure, a dual feed with English on the
Primary and French on the Secondary ME will be configured. The A and B
background busses will be chained and bus linked and three full keyers
will be chained on ME 1 and three on ME 2. The result is the operator can
switch the show completely from ME 1 and use two full MEs with three full
keyers for each of the dual feed outputs.
ME 1 will be the primary, controlling ME, i.e. ME 2 sources, background
busses, and keyers will “follow” ME 1.
1. In the Transition Chaining, Bkgd Chains menu, touch ME 1 to assign it
to the chain.
2. Touch ME 2 to assign it as the secondary or “controlled” ME.
