CHAPTER 7: MENUS: KEYER SETUP
The Keyer Setup Menu is used configure and control the unit’s linear keyer and
digital framestore. Note that settings related to playback of animations (Repeat
Count, Frame Rate, Loop Mode, Bumper Style) will only be available if the
Animated Logo Option is installed. Without the Animated Logo Option, the
keyer will be limited to the display and keying of still images.
The Uploader Software is used to convert image and animation files into formats
usable by the linear keyer, and upload them to the unit. See the section “Field
Ordering in Stills and Animations” in Appendix D, “The Uploader Software,”
for important information about field ordering in graphics and animation files to
be used with the keyer.

determined by the Fade Out Time option in the Change Settings sub-menu of the
Keyer Setup Menu. This is equivalent to pressing the Keyer button on the front panel

grabbed from video from the TSG/Image Grabbing menu. (see Chapter 11, “Menus:
