Ops 7–4 • Keying Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
MATTE FILL
The Matte Fill button allows you to fill the active key with a matte color. Refer to the section
“Creating Mattes” on page Ops 6-13 for more information on creating a matte.
KEY MEM
The Key Memory button applies to Auto Select and Chroma Keys, and provides a single
memory register for storing clip and gain, or chroma key settings for the key. Key memories are
stored for the key source, so that when you store a key memory in one MLE, that key memory is
used when you select that same key source on any MLE. There are a few differences in how the
KEY MEM button functions with the different keys as follows:
• Auto Select Keys — The KEY MEM button turns on automatically when this key type is
selected, indicating that the Auto Select key memory for the selected key source is being
used. If the selected key source has not been set up with a proper alpha, the KEY MEM
button will not light. Refer to the section “Auto Select Key” on page Ops 7-9 for more
information on this key type.
• Chroma Keys — The KEY MEM button allows you to recall the Chroma Key settings
previously stored for the selected key source. Refer to the section “Chroma Key” on
page Ops 7-11 for more information on this key type.
KEY INV
The Key Invert button 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.
MASK
The Mask button allows you to apply a mask to the selected key. When this button is pressed, the
Mask Setup Menu is displayed, which allows you to create a box, pattern, or utility mask. Refer
to the section “Key Masks” on page Ops 7-27 for more information on masking a key.
BORD ON/OFF
The Border buttons allow you to apply a border to the selected key using the optional XFX Extra
Effects Dual Border Generator. If this option is installed, pressing the BORDER ON button
will turn on the border and display the menus for setting it up. Refer to the section “Key
Borders” on page Ops 7-30 for more information on bordering a key.
The Border Off button turns the border feature off for the selected key.
FLY KEY
The Fly Key button allows you to apply internal DVE resources to the selected Keyer using the
optional Squeeze & Tease MD. When active, Squeeze & Tease MD allows you to change the
position, size and rotation of the selected key. Refer to the section “Flying Keys” on page Ops
12-10 for more information on flying a key.
Key Preview Buttons
The Key Preview buttons (Figure 7.5) allow you to preview different aspects of the selected key.
This functionality includes previewing a transition on the preview output, or showing the alpha
signal that is being used to cut the key.
