Ops 7–30 • Keying Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
Key Borders
The XFX Dual Border Generator option allows you to add an independent border to any key
type on the switcher. This border can surround the key, or appear as a detached shadow behind the
key. Borders can also be adjusted for width, color, and transparency.
Note — You cannot apply a Pattern Border and an XFX Border to the same key. You must turn
off the XFX Border in order to be able to turn on the Pattern Border. The Pattern Border turns off
automatically when you apply an XFX Border.
Use the following procedure to apply a border to a key:
1. Press the BORDER ON button on the Keyers Module to display the Border Menus. If
you do not have enough XFX Border resources available, the message XFX MD
Border Feature Disabled (unavail) appears on the menu.
2. Use the Border Mode knob on the Border Menu to select the type of border you want
to apply to the key. You can choose between the following:
Note — Only one Border, Shadow, Outline, or Trail can be active at the same time for a
given Keyer. If you select one, any others are automatically toggled off.
• Border — Select this border mode to apply a standard border to the selected key.
The border can surround the key, or it can appear as a drop shadow that is offset to
any distance or direction.
• Shadow — Select this border mode to apply a drop shadow to the selected key.
The shadow appears as a drop shadow that is offset to any distance or direction.
• Outline — Select this border mode to apply an outline to the selected key. In
Outline Mode, the fill for the selected key is completely transparent.
• Trails — Refer to the section “Key Trails” on page Ops 7-32 for information on
Trails.
3. Press Position/Size on the Border Menu.
