Key Chaining
Key Chaining allows you to chain keys to coordinate their keyer states (on
and off) on a single ME or from one ME to another. There are 15 Key Chains
available in a Kayenne System. All keys in a chain transition on and off
together. Key Chaining is performed in the User Setup, Suite Prefs, Key
Chaining menu (
Figure 118 ).
Some uses for Key Chaining are:
• Keyers within an ME for language or Ident separations of clean feeds,
• Aspect ratio-specific graphics across more than one ME, or
• Advertising graphics on bus-linked MEs which already substitute
background pictures.
In the Key Chaining menu, you can configure which keyers are chained
together in each chain. The following rules apply:
• Each keyer may not be in more than one Key Chain.
• All keyers in a Key Chain will be equal in command priority.
Key Chaining is part of the Kayenne configuration and saved as part of
File Ops, Suite Prefs. A layer of load granularity (
Key Chaining button) has
been added to this menu.
