Keys 4 Chapter

To use as key source the same signal as the key fill signal selected on the key fill bus, select the SELF mode by pressing the [AUTO SEL] button and [SPLIT] button simultaneously so that both are off. When chroma key is selected as the key type, select the SELF mode.

Key Edge Modifications

To apply a modification to the key edge, press one of the edge type selection buttons in the key control block.

[BDR] button: border

[DROP BDR] button: drop border

[SHDW] button: shadow

[OUTLINE] button: outline

[EMBOS] button: emboss

For an overview of the edge modifications, see page 52.

The pressed button lights green, and you can now adjust the parameters with the knobs. The display beside each knob shows the first letter of the parameter name and the three-digit setting value.

Setting the border parameters

When the [BDR] button is lit green, the parameter settings depend on the key type and whether the separate edge function is active. To activate the separate edge function, press [Separate Edge], setting it on, in the Edge menu for the key.
