Menus: Keyer Setup
Max Opacity
Specifies the opacity percentage of a key when it is completely “displayed” (after it
has been faded in). Once the key has faded in to the specified opacity percentage, the
fade-in will be considered complete. If the key is active (currently being displayed),
the opacity is adjusted in real-time on the live outputs as this value is adjusted.
Valid Range: 0% to 100%
Default Setting: 100%
Fade Out Time
Specifies the duration of the fade-out when a key is transitioned off.
Valid Range: 0 fields to 3600 fields
Default Setting: 60 fields (525-line mode)
50 fields (625-line mode)
Related Settings: Fade Out
Repeat Count
Specifies the number of times an animated key (.dan file) will be repeated before
automatically fading out. The user may override this setting and manually Fade Out
or Cut Out the key from the Keyer Settings Menu, or use the Keyer front-panel
button to fade out the animation. Note that this value has no effect on still image keys,
which will be displayed until manually faded or cut out.
This value is ignored if the Loop Mode option is set to Forever.
Valid Range: 1 to 255 repetitions
Default Setting: 2 repetitions
Related Settings: Loop Mode
Frame Rate
Specifies the speed at which an animated key (.dan file) will be played back. This
effectively allows the animated key to be played in slow motion.
Valid Settings: Normal, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7
Default Setting: Normal
Loop Mode
Specifies whether an animated key (.dan file) will loop indefinitely until manually
stopped by the user, or will loop the number of times specified in the Repeat Count
option.
Valid Settings: Repeat, Forever
Default Setting: Repeat
Related Settings: Repeat Count
In Repeat mode, the animation will loop the number of times specified in the Repeat
Count option, then automatically fade out. The user may override the Repeat Count
