To Perform a Key Priority Transition

Note: Key Priority transition can only be performed between keyers that are in the same state. For example, to change the priority of key 1 and key 3, both keyers must be on-air, or off-air, for the ME.
  1. Press KEY PRIOR on the Transition module for the ME that you want to change the priority of the keys for.

    The KEY PRIOR button is lit, indicating a key priority transition is selected. If a key is not currently on-air, a warning is displayed.

  2. Use the ME knob to select the ME that you want to change the priority of the keys on.
  3. Use the Key X buttons in Current and Next areas to set the order of the keys on the ME. Layer 1 is the bottom layer, with all other keys on top of it, and Layer 4 is the top layer, with all other keys on top of it. When the priority is changed, the remaining keys shift layers to accommodate the change.
    • Current — sets the order of the keys now, even if they are on-air. Changing the current key priority of on-air keys may produce undesired effects.
    • Next — sets the order of the keys after the Key Priority transition.
  4. Select the transition type you want to use (DISS, or WIPE only).
  5. Perform the transition.
