Control Panel VKEY 100 / external keyboard – advanced mode
First of all, it has to be said that the PRODUCTION module application is divided into functions that can be turned on and off with a mouse or a keyboard, like changing the state of a main BUS mixer or DSK settings.
To facilitate your work, you can combine several functions creating a command sequence that can be programmed to be executed by one of the Trigger banks. A Trigger bank can be set off automatically with a single button. The functions are then triggered one after the other, creating interesting sequences. A classic use of Triggers is displaying content (pictures, videos) automatically at a specific time in the PROGRAM output. For example: setting Media as a source, introduction as DSK, its positioning, scale and rotation, going on the air at a certain time to PROGRAM and going off the air. Therefore, a Trigger is a programmed sequence of functions set off with a single button.
There are 10 Trigger banks assigned to F1 to F10 function keys in the Reckeen 3D system.
Programming a Trigger:
Open Menu> Options> Configuration> Triggers.
When you open Triggers window, first select a key that will be programmed (KeyF1 to KeyF10).
In the upper right corner of the window, select for this chosen key a Mode in which you will enter Triggers: Simple or Advanced. Simple Mode has been created for displaying videos, full screen pictures or for the sound file to go on the air quickly. In Advanced mode, you can freely combine functions of an entire application.
If for a certain key (e.g. KeyF1) you chose a mode (e.g. Simple), you can still assign both Simple and Advanced modes to the other keys (KeyF2 to KeyF10).
At any given point of time, only one set of Triggers assigned to a specific function key can be executed in the Reckeen 3D system. The remaining function keys are not available until the termination of the functions. If you use KeyF1, you will not be able to activate another key, e.g. KeyF2, until all the functions stored in the bank are not completed. Operation of a given KeyF is signaled on the VKey-100 control panel with its button illumination.
At any time, you can terminate the operation (stop executing the functions set) of the KeyF button by pressing the active key button again. However, a single internal function must reach its completion and only then the remaining KeyF keys will be unlocked. Pressing the same KeyF once again will not continue execution of the consecutive functions – an entire list of functions will start from the beginning.
Let’s now discuss all the functions that can be programmed.
