Production Switchers

I'm working on a Cabonite Black Solo and trying to free up a DVE off of Key 1 located on MiniME1. Can this Key be turned into a normal key or will it always be a DVE Keyer. I've taken a picture of the soft panel so you have an idea of what I'm looking at.

Side Question:

I noticed that the only transition you can do within a MiniME is a dissolve. Is this true or is there something I need to clear out first? I notice that in the soft panel you are given the option to switch to a DVE transition but I cannot seem to be able to change that, which is why I'm wondering if I need to clear out the DVE on Key 1 first.

Thanks!

Key 1 is only able to be a DVE Keyer. As long as the MiniME is not considered "ON-AIR" then another ME or MiniME will steal the key. Also doing a Key or ME Reset on the MiniME will clear it all out. You can only do Dissolves on MiniMEs. A Keyer that has a DVE on it is able to DVE transition "it's self" but that is because it is using that DVE channel to do it.

Excellent. Thanks Les!

Just for more clarification, resetting key 1 on a Mini ME, it doesn't take off the application of a DVE to that specific keyer. It does however restore the parameters of the applied DVE.

Is there a way to simply turn off the DVE that is being applied to key 1 of a Mini, without resetting the Mini? Or is it just made to remain on until being stripped from necessary resources on another ME.

Hi Ryan,

If you Reset the MiniME it will free it up... Or recall  memory that you stored where the Key is not using the DVE...

The ME Reset though might not be possible depending on the Panel that you have.... That is something in the RSTATE menu we might need to look into.
