For luminance keying, chroma keying or external keying, apply effects such as slice and slope to the key video (page Vol.2-6).

Set the pattern position (where the key is inserted) using the joystick.

Press the CENTER button to turn on, and the pattern position is set to the center.

Press the HOLD button to turn on, and the joystick is fixed to the current position.

NOTE

•There are some patterns for which the position cannot be adjusted with the joystick.

For more information, refer to “List of Key

Patterns” at the back of Volume 2.

•For the patterns registered as direct patterns, the settings of the effects and position applied to each pattern are saved in memory and applied when the pattern is called next time (if [MODE] in the [SETUP] menu is set to [PRESET]). Any settings made for the patterns not registered as direct patterns are not saved in memory.

Set the pattern size (key size) using the rotary Z control.

If a specific key pattern is selected. press the ASPECT button to turn on, and the aspect ratio of the pattern can be temporarily changed with the ASPECT control. (When it is turned in the H direction, the width (horizontal) is increased; when it is turned in the V direction, the height (vertical) is increased). When the button is turned off, the aspect ratio returns to the value before change.

For patterns to which the aspect change function can be applied, refer to “List of Key Patterns” at the back of Volume 2.

Set the transition time (from combining start to end) (page 35).

Slide the transition lever to the B side (or A side) or press the AUTO TAKE button.

When the AUTO TAKE button is pressed, it is lighted and source video A is combined with B (or source video B is combined with A).

To use the Scene Grabber function

Press the SCENE GRABBER button to turn on.

The scene grabber function allows you to move the image currently being displayed in the key together with the pattern if a specific key pattern is selected.

For patterns to which the Scene Grabber function can be applied, refer to “List of Key Patterns” at the back of

Volume 2.

NOTE

You cannot use multi-strobe effects (page Vol.2-15) and the scene grabber function at the same time. Whichever is selected later has priority and the other selected earlier is canceled.

To display the key inverted

Press the REVERSE button in the PATTERN area to turn on, and the key pattern or frame-in/-out is displayed inverted.

Downstream Key (DSK)

DSK is an effect of inserting a key to the video to which effects have already been applied.

The following diagram shows an example of the DSK.

To create DSK using material imported from PC

Input material such as characters created with a single color as a background on PC to the DVI-I IN connector, select the DVI-I input as key material for DSK (set [KEY] to [DVI-I] in the [DSK SOURCE] submenu of the [DSK FADE] menu), and you can insert a key onto video created by applying effects to an image taken with a camera.

It is also possible to embed other material as the key fill in the key extracted from the original material or apply effects such as SHADOW to the extracted key.
