The title key function allows you to superimpose characters or graphics by cutting out part of the foreground video with a key source signal, and applying the effect to the background video.

There are two ways of using the key source signal: as a luminance key depending only on image intensity, or as a chroma key, based on a particular color.

Using the buttons in columns 1 and 2 of the TITLE section, you can insert two title keys (TITLE 2 requires the optional BKDF-711 board to be installed). To insert a title key, press the TITLE button in the effect transition section.
