Key Setting Operations With the Cross-
Point Control Block

You can make a key signal selection using the cross-point control block of the
M/E-1 or PGM/PST bank including the relevant key.

Applying a DME Effect to a Key

Checking the DME status

As an example, to check the DME status for M/E1 key 1, hold down the key
row delegation button [KEY1] in the M/E1 bank.
While the button is held down, the [DME1] and [DME2] buttons light, and the
colors with which they light indicate the status, as follows.

Lit green:

A DME is assigned to M/E1 key 1. In the M/E1 independent key

transition and transition control blocks, the transition type for KEY1 is set
to a DME wipe.

Lit amber:

A DME is assigned to an M/E1 key other than key 1.

In the independent key transition and transition control blocks, the
transition type for other than key 1 of M/E-1 is set to a DME wipe.

Not lit:

No DME is assigned, or a DME wipe is not selected.

You can check the DME operating status in the Status menu (see page 334).

Assigning DMEs to a key

As an example, to assign DME1 and DME2 to key 1, in the cross-point control
block, hold down the key row delegation button [KEY1] and press the buttons
([DME1] and [DME2]) for the DME channels to be used.
In this case, press [DME1], followed by [DME2].
The buttons pressed ([DME1] and [DME2]) light green and the DMEs are
assigned to key 1.

Notes

• If the DME is selected on another keyer, the later selection takes precedence

and the button lights green.
By a setting in the Setup menu

(see “Operation Settings (Operation menu)”

in Chapter 19 (Volume 3))

, you can make the first selection take precedence.

• For one M/E bank, DME effects (including DME wipes) can be used in two

places.
