ME Split Mode Operation
Split Mode allows the operator to divide a GV Switcher system ME into
two partitions (Primary and Secondary) by enabling Split Mode on that
ME. Each Split Mode ME partition can be assigned resources (keyers and
wipe generators) of that ME. Each partition can be setup and controlled
from the Control Panel using the
Pri and Sec delegation buttons, and each
partition has its own E-MEM sub-level, permitting precise independent
control of ME partition effects. A powerful aspect of Split Mode is control
of the partitioning resides in the E-MEM system itself. It is possible to create
ME partitions when needed with an effect recall, and then quickly return
the MEs to full functionality with another effect recall. The Split Mode
feature also provides Preview outputs for each partition
Putting MEs in Split Mode essentially gives the operator more MEs (up to
eight on a 4-ME GV Switcher system), each with less functionality. This can
be useful for some styles of production. In fast paced programs an operator
may dedicate an ME to a simple task for the duration of the show and never
change it. Split Mode provides a way to use some resources of an ME for
these set-and-forget requirements, and allow the operator to use the
remaining resources of the ME for other purposes.
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 348 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.
