to record you need to assign you CG fill and key to STE 1 & 2. You will find that on your keyer row on your ME's. So CG 1 fill assign to STE 1 CG 1 Matte assign to STE 2. On your display for to ram recorder and make sure you have RAM 1&2 linked as V&K. If you are recording a still push the still button, if you are recording a clip make sure you are in clip mode. Hit the EE button and you should see the fill and matte on rams 1&2. If you are recording a still you just hit record. For clips there is a little more to it. You need to set a duration for the clip. When you play it back you will need to switch from clip mode to vtr mode (i think). I usually do my clips through the side panel but these are the settings that you need to change, I just can't tell you how they are labeled on the switcher panel display. To record press record new and it should just do it. Hope this helps. Courtney

thanks courtney but you have to give me a step by step instruction as how to record a key super from the chryon and then what settings to use to recall it from the ram.i coupled it then recorded it to the ram using various modes i.e vid,v+k but it still didnt work.i vaguely remembered the trainer using split key i.e copying or splitting the key signal but i can't remember for what use.

select the ram you want (it should turn green) then select modify. That will allow you to couple your rams with each other with out using side panel.

thanks mike but we are not running side panel

Doing this from memory, please bear with me. INPUT MENU, where you see the key set as white RIGHT CLICK in the key section. A menu of sources should come up. Another way around is to double punch whatever keyer you have the ram recorder keyed on. You should also be able to right click on the key source and change it.

our kayak is in the dd mode,when the input menu is selected the inputs are displayed with white as the key.how do you couple the rams in this mode or what do you select on the ram menu when recording or playback , thanks

Hi, is your Kayak in DD for the Keyer or no? (Install - E-Box - Misc)? In DD mode you will find the couple Key list in the Config - E-Box - Input menu. In not DD mode you will have a Key menu in install. Jochen

when i go install>input it has all the inputs for the switcher and two buttons displaying long name and short name.there are 3 coloumns first line a 2digit code and the other 2 are the inputs.left has ram1 and the right has ram 1 and etc. for the rest of inputs so i dont know how to couple the rams in this mode.

Go to Install>Input and make sure Ram 1 is coupled with Ram 2. Make sure you are in Lum Lin mode on your keyers (4 buttons should light up for a normal linier key).
