Section 2 — Control Panels
Main Transition Controls
The main transition controls are used to select the signal elements that will
be involved in the transition, define the type of transition, and perform the
transition.
Transition Elements
The upper group of buttons selects the elements that will change during
the next transition. Pressing these buttons does not change the current
output of the M/E, but prepares the M/E for a change.
Pressing one transition element button automatically turns off the others in
this group. More than one transition element can be selected by holding
down one button while pressing another in the group. Elements not
selected remain in their current state when the transition is performed. For
example, if
Key 1
is on and is not selected as part of the next transition, it will
remain on during and after the transition.
The
Bkgd
button selects a change in the background buses. The result will
be a transition from the current source on the A (or PGM) bus to the source
selected on the B (or PST) bus. After the transition, the buses will flip flop,
so the A bus always remains the on-air bus. The A bus selection remains the
background source if this button is not selected as part of the next transi-
tion.
The
Key 1-4
buttons selects the keyers that will be involved in the next main
transition. When an independent
Key Mix
is in progress, the
Key 1-4
transition
element buttons involved will go low tally and be inactive (see
). Automatic subpanel delegation is also available
for these buttons. The keys currently visible on the output that M/E are
identified by the
On
indicator lights below each button. Note that a key may
be on but not visible (for example, half way through a preset black transi-
tion).
The
Triger
button is inactive in Kalypso Release 11.0.
The
Key Prior
button selects a change in the key priority. The layering order
(stack) of the keys will transition from the current stack to a new stack spec-
ified by the operator. The new key priority stack is defined using the Keyers
subpanel or via a menu.
Transition Types
The lower left group of buttons selects what type of transition will be used
on the elements selected above for the next transition. Pressing these
buttons does not change the appearance of the current output of the M/E.
Only one transition type can be selected at a time.
The
Mix
button selects a mix as the next transition.
