Switcher Resources

The switcher has a number of resources that it must share across keyers or MEs/MiniMEs. How these resources are shared, and what happens when a resource is needed by another layer, is determined by the switcher based on where the resource is used and whether it is on-air or not.

The following lists the order that resources are re-assigned from a layer. Items at the top of the list are re-assigned from first.

  1. ME 1 Transition (assigned last in memory recalls)
  2. MiniME 2, Key 2 (off-air)
  3. MiniME 2, Key 1 (off-air)
  4. MiniME 1, Key 2 (off-air)
  5. MiniME 1, Key 1 (off-air)
  6. ME 1, Key 4 (off-air)
  7. ME 1, Key 3 (off-air)
  8. ME 1, Key 2 (off-air)
  9. ME 1, Key 1 (off-air)
  10. MiniME 2, Key 2 (on-air)
  11. MiniME 2, Key 1 (on-air)
  12. MiniME 1, Key 2 (on-air)
  13. MiniME 1, Key 1 (on-air)
  14. ME 1, Key 4 (on-air)
  15. ME 1, Key 3 (on-air)
  16. ME 1, Key 2 (on-air)
  17. ME 1, Key 1 (on-air) (assigned first in memory recalls)
Keep the following in mind when DVE resources are re-assigned:
  • A DVE key reverts to an Auto Select key.
  • MediaWipe DVE transition reverts to a Dissolve.
  • During a memory recall, all DVE resources involved in the memory are re-assigned according to the above list.
  • A DVE resource will not be re-assigned from an on-air element that is not part of the memory.
