FunctionButton
Assign the selected keyer as a chroma
key.
CHROMA KEY
Allows you to fill the selected keyer with
a matte color.
MATTE FILL
Applies to auto select and chroma keys
to provide a single memory register for
storing key settings. Key memories are
stored for the key source, so that when
you store a key memory in one ME, that
key memory is used when you select that
same key source on any ME. The KEY
MEM button turns on automatically when
an auto select key is selected, indicating
that the key memory for the key source is
being used. If the key source has not been
set up with a proper alpha, the KEY MEM
button will not light.
KEY MEM
Reverses the polarity of the key alpha.
For example, if a self key, such as a title
camera, has white letters on a black
background, the white letters will normally
cut the key hole. When the key invert
feature is used, the polarity of the key is
inverted so that black lettering is used to
cut the hole.
KEY INV
Allows you to apply a mask to the selected
keyer.
MASK
Allows you to apply a border to the
selected keyer. When pressed, the border
menu is displayed, and the last selected
border is applied. Press the button again
to turn the border off.
BORDER
Allows you to apply 2D DVE resources to
the selected keyer.
2D DVE
Allows you to apply 3D DVE resources to
the selected keyer.
3D DVE
Allows you to go directly to the channel
management menus. The CHNL MGMT
button lights to indicate if multiple DVE
channels are being used by the selected
keyer.
CHNL MGMT
Allows you to view the black and white
alpha signal for the selected keyer. This
alpha signal can either be routed to the
main preview output of the switcher, or to
the preview output of the selected ME.
Press and hold the SHOW ALPHA button,
for the selected keyer and ME, to show
the alpha for that keyer on the preview
output of the switcher, or double-press the
SHOW ALPHA button to lock it on until
the button is pressed again. This allows
you to record the alpha signal for a
selected keyer independent of the fill.
SHOW ALPHA
FunctionButton
Allows you to temporarily force the
program output of the selected keyer to
the preview output of the switcher. The
ME remains in the key preview state for
as long as you hold the KEY PV button,
and returns to normal as soon as you
release the button. You can also
double-press the KEY PV button to latch
the ME in the key preview state until the
button is double-pressed again.
