10. KEY and DSK
The key feature enables you to superimpose titles and images onto background signals. With the
HVS-350 series, six keyer channels (two KEYs and four DSKs) are available. KEY and DSK can
use three keyer types: Luminance Key, Full Key and Bus Key. Key Invert, Mask and 2D DVE
effects can also be added to both DSK and KEY. Furthermore, the Chroma Key feature and Edge
effect are also provided to two KEYs.
