Key Priority Setting; Setting The Key Priority In The Transition Control Block - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

Key Priority Setting

If a number of keys are already inserted in the current
video, you can check or change the key priority, that is to
say, the order in which the keys are overlaid.
When a key priority ([KEY PRIOR]) is selected as the next
transition, you can also change the key priority in the new
video.
The key priority values go from 1 to 4, with a higher
priority key being "in front" as seen on the screen.
Priority sequence on the screen
There are two ways of setting the priority: either using the
[PRIOR SET] button in the transition control block, or
using the Misc menu to access the Key Priority menu for
the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
Notes
When the operating mode is set to multi program, the key
priority setting cannot be made.

If the next transition selection button [KEY PRIOR] is
on, press another next transition selection button to
turn the [KEY PRIOR] button off.
(When the [KEY PRIOR] button is on, the transition
control block switches to the mode for changing the
key priority for after the transition.)

Holding down the [PRIOR SET] button, press the one
of the next transition selection buttons [KEY1] to
[KEY4] ([DSK1] to [DSK4] buttons in the PGM/PST
bank) for the key to appear on top.
Notes
• To select [Key5] to [Key8], or [DSK5] to [DSK8]
requires an assignment (see page 345).
• The key priority establishes a separate priority order
within each of the groups of keys 1 to 4 and keys 5
to 8. You can make any setting within the groups of
keys 1 to 4 or keys 5 to 8, but not for combinations
of keys from different groups.
For example, it is not possible to set a priority
sequence of keys 1, 5, and 2.
The selected key now appears on top, on the program
monitor.
The priority of keys other than the selected one does
not change.
