Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD) Keying • Ops 7–3
Key Type Buttons and Mnemonics
The Key Type buttons (Figure 7.2) allow you to select the type of key you want the Keyer to
produce. There are four basic key types, Self Keys, Auto Select Keys, Chroma Keys, and Preset
Pattern Keys. Each of these key types has different applications and effects that can be applied to
them. The key type selection is indicated by a triangle in the corner of the mnemonic for the
Keyer.
Figure 7.2 Key Type Buttons and Mnemonics — Keyers Module (4-Keyer Shown)
The mnemonic on each Keyer can be used to identify what key type each Keyer is set up as. A
small triangle appears in the corner of the mnemonic for each Keyer. The location of this triangle
corresponds to the location of the key type button on the Keyers Module (Figure 7.3). For
example, if there is a triangle in the upper right corner of the mnemonic for keyer 2, then keyer 2
is set up as Self Key.

Key Modifier Buttons
The Key Modifier buttons (Figure 7.4) allow you to apply different effects or modifiers to the
key, such as a mask, border, or flying the key.
