1TITLE section

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.

The TITLE 1 and TITLE 2 buttons include the following.

CRK (chroma key) button: Press this to use a chroma key to cut out the image. When pressed, this button lights, and portions of the foreground image of the designated color are cut out as the key source signal. When this button is lit, the LUM button is off.

You can carry out chroma keying simply, using the auto chroma key function.

LUM (luminance) button: Press this to use a luminance key to cut out the image. When pressed, this button lights, and portions of the foreground image are cut out based on the luminance level. When this button is lit, the CRK button is off.
