Dedicated Key Transitions
If an immediate transition is required or an 
unexpected transition needs to be performed, the 
switcher allows for a dedicated key transition. 
Dedicated key transition buttons for this purpose are 
located to the right of the Fader. Only dissolve 
transitions can be performed with the dedicated key 
transition buttons.
To perform a dedicated key transition:
1.
Ensure that a key, key-type, and source are 
selected.
2.
Take the desired key on or off-air by performing 
one of the following:
• Press KEY 1 TRANS to transition Key 1.
• Press KEY 2 TRANS to transition Key 2.
• Press KEY 3 TRANS to transition Key 3 
(KM-H3000 only).
Note:
• When a key is on-air, the appropriate dedicated 
key transition button glows red.
For More Information on...
• selecting Keys, refer to the section “Selecting 
Setting the Transition Rate for Dedicated 
Key Transitions
You can set the transition rate for the dedicated key 
transition buttons independently of the other switcher 
transition rates. 
To change the transition rate for dedicated key 
transitions: 
1.
Press DISS.
2.
Press NEXT.
3.
Use the Key 1-(1-2 on KM-H2500) knobs to 
change the transition rate for the specified key.
Note:
• If the transition rate is set to CUT and a transition is 
in progress, pressing a dedicated key transition 
button immediately cuts the associated key to the 
previous state (either on or off-air). The rest of the 
transition proceeds.
For More Information on...
• the Next Transition area behavior, refer to the 
Chroma Key
The Chroma Key masks a specified color allowing 
you to quickly extract a foreground subject from a 
controlled-color background. The switcher can mask 
the following colors: blue, green, red, cyan, magenta, 
and yellow. The default color is blue.
To create a Chroma Key:
1.
Select the key you wish to use.
2.
If you are not using Key 1, press CHR KEY to set 
the selected Key to a Chroma Key.
3.
If you have already assigned a Chroma Key to 
one of the other keyers and the Chroma Key 
share mode is set to FLOAT or ASK, you are 
asked whether you want to steal the Chroma Key 
resource to use on the new key. You can choose 
from the following:
• Press the Confrm knob to steal the Chroma 
Key resource for the new key. The old Chroma 
Key is taken off-air and converted to an 
Auto-Select Key.
• Press the Cancel knob to cancel the new 
Chroma Key and leave the resource with the 
key it is currently assigned to.
4.
Select the desired source on the Key/Aux bus.
5.
Use the Color knob to select the color to make 
transparent. You can choose from the following:
• Blue (default)
• Cyan
• Green
• Yellow
• Red
