  • 1.  Building a "clean" feed with key 2 and 3 only. No key 1

    Posted 12-04-2024 04:40

    I'm on a Carbonite. I have a sport show where Key 1 is the bug and sometimes graphics, Key 2 is graphics, and Key 3 are my wipes. 

    I need to send 2 feeds. One is Program that utilizes all 3 keys. The other is a "clean" feed without the bug, which lives on Key 1. I just read the manual and I'm not sure if it's possible to exclude Key 1 only. Without switching my keyer sources around, what would my alternative be?

    Thanks

    Only Carbonite Ultra 60 has a programable Clean feed that would allow this kind of configuration.

    The 24 Input version has a selectable clean feed which can only pick before a key and all other below are kept.

    Gotcha, thanks for the quick response Les. 

    If I did an ME follow I know my bus sources will follow. But would the key source follow as well? So if I have ME2 follow ME1. If I turn Key 1 on ME1, it should turn Key 1 on ME2 but in theory I could change the source for ME2's Key 1, right? So I could set a blank keyer there? Or would that not work with a Carbonite?

    Yes it will but you might be able to setup a Substitution to send BK to Key one on ME 1 :)

    Then yes you would have ME 1 following the PGM ME and since Key 1 has black on it then you would have a transparent key. effectively building that Programable Clean Feed.
