Using Keys

When the “Key Auto Take” function is ON in the User Preference Menu, you do not need
to press TAKE to perform a key transition. The transition occurs immediately, once the
KEY button is pressed. In addition, if a source is pending, it remains pending after the
transition. There is no flip-flop.
Use the following steps to mix a key up or down, when Key Auto Take is ON:
1. Press KEY. The system immediately mixes the key up or down, at the current
transition rate. Please note:
~ If the transition is a “key up,” the KEY button blinks fast during the
transition interval, then lights solid when the key is fully on Program.
~ If the transition is a “key down,” the KEY button blinks fast during the
transition, then automatically turns off when the key is off Program.
Refer to the “Key Transition Combinations
” section on page 97 for descriptions of the
many key combinations that can be performed with the DCS-200.

In this section, brief instructions are provided for each individual key transition. Please
remember the following points:
• If Menu Context is ON, the Key Setup Menu appears when the KEY button is
pressed.
• Key Clip, Gain, Opacity, H offset and V offset can only be adjusted when the
key is visible on Program. The Key Input field, however, can only be changed
when the key is off Program. Once the key is on, the Input field is bracketed.
• Whenever TAKE is pressed, the current Program source and the pending
program source will flip-flop. If you do not want to transition to a new source,
simply press the blinking source button to “un-pend” it.
The following combinations are described:
• Mix Key Up
• Mix Key Down
• Mix Source plus Key Up
• Mix Source plus Key Down
• Source Transition Under Key
• Fade to Black from Source plus Key
• Fade up from Black to Source plus Key
Note
If Menu Context is ON, the Key Setup Menu appears when
you press KEY, enabling you to change the key source or
adjust properties. However, because Key Auto Take is ON,
parameters cannot be adjusted until the transition is over.
