KEYING
Using FXDeko’s built-in keyer, you can key text and graphics over live video. Or,
you can use FXDeko’s linear key output to key text and graphics downstream,
using a switcher.
To enable FXDeko’s built-in keyer:
1. Connect an input video signal to FXDeko. See Video Inputs in the
FXDeko Installation Guide.
2. In Options menu, click Hardware Settings, click Input Selection, and
select the appropriate input signal.
3. From the Channel menu, choose Keying and Routing. Select
appropriate Channel and Video Format options, then click Close.
Important Changes to Keying and Routing settings may affect other
settings in the Keying and Routing dialog box.
