selected. These keyers will flash to indicate that they are in the chain. The
key which is not flashing is the initiator.
You can also use the Cut/Auto keys as described in Using Key Cut/Auto
Buttons
on page 174 . If a Cut button is pressed on the initiating ME, then all
the MEs with chained keyers, cut. If an Auto button is pressed, then simi-
larly, all MEs with chained keyers shall perform the same transition at the
same rate.
Other non-chained keys or other transition elements can be added to the
next-transition at this time. Key chains can be established with keys both in
the same and different MEs.
Background Transition Chaining
There are two chains available for Background Chaining in the menu. You
could for example chain backgrounds for ME 1, ME 2, and ME 3 in Chain 1
and for ME 4 and ME 5 in Chain 2 on a 4.5-ME Kayenne (
Figure 121 ).
Similar to Key Chaining, where the first ME Keyer button pressed on the
Control Panel is the controlling ME for the chain, the first ME Bkgd button
pressed on the Control Panel becomes the primary or “controlling” ME.
This is important for example when you are coupling MEs (backgrounds,
keyers, buses, etc.) for a multiple feed or 3D broadcast, it will be much more
effective to switch the show from the primary ME with the secondary
ME(s) following.
The Primary ME’s Bkgd Transition button on the Transition Module (once
pressed) will be high tally while chained Bkgd Transition buttons will flash.
Note The primary ME’s transition type and rate are not copied into the other MEs
with Background Chaining.
To access the Background Chaining menu, touch User Setups , Suite Prefs , Tran-
sition Chaining , Bkgd Chains ( Figure 121 ).
