Compositing two images

On the V-4 you can use Picture In Picture or Chroma Key/Luminance Key to composite the images of channels A and B.

Using Picture In Picture to composite images

Here’s how you can miniaturize the image of channel B and overlay it on the channel A image. Use this when you want to output two images simultaneously.

1.Set the memory dial (MEMORY) to 1.

Turn the dial all the way to the left to select the 1 position.

2.Play back the two images.

Play back the image that you want to use as the background and the image that you want to miniaturize.

3.Select the channel A input.

Input the background image into channel A. Use the channel A input select buttons to make your choice.

4.Select the channel B input.

Input the image that you want to miniaturize into channel B. Use the channel B input select buttons to make your choice.

5.Press the P in P button.

Press the channel B “P in P” button.

6.Move the video fader.

Moving the video fader will control the level of the channel B image (the secondary image). If you move the video fader all the way to the channel A position, the channel B image level will be 0%. If you move the video fader all the way to the channel B position, the channel B image level will be 100%. By moving the video fader from the A to the B position, you can fade-in the secondary image. Moving the video fader toward A will fade-out the secondary image.
