Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD) Picture Frame Borders • Ops 14–3
Border Appearance
The overall appearance of the borders can be adjusted to give different effects. You can adjust the
following properties of the channel border:
• Border Softness — This parameter is used to apply softness to the inner and outer edges
of the Flying Key as well as the border. If no border has been applied to the Flying Key,
the Softness effect is applied to the edges of the Flying Key.
• Border Symmetry — This parameter is used to alter the center position of the Flying
Key border. As you adjust the symmetry, the relative center of the border expands
outward from the actual center of the border.
• Border Transparency — This parameter is used to adjust the level of transparency of
the outer and inner edges of the border and the level of transparency of the center of the
border.
Use the following procedure to adjust the appearance of the border:
1. Press the SEL button on the Keyers Module for the Keyer that you want to adjust the
border appearance of the channel for. The S&T MD Position/Crop Menu 1-2 is
displayed. The key must already be flying.
2. Press the DVE quick navigation button to display the Squeeze & Tease MD Main
Menu 1-2.
3. Press Border on the Squeeze & Tease MD Main Menu 1-2.
4. Press Size on the S&T MD Border Menu.
Size — S&T MD Border Menu
Note — The dotted line shown in the Softness area does not correspond to the dotted line in
the Size area. The line in the Size area represents the outside edge of the channel, and the line
in the Softness area represents the center of the border.
5. Use the Softness knob on the S&T MD Border Menu, or the positioner, to adjust the
softness of the edge of the border. The graphic in the Softness box shows a profile of the
border with the angle of the sides representing the softness. For Preset Pattern keys,
negative values of softness (0.0% to -2.5%) apply no edge softness to the key.
6. Use the Symmetry knob on the S&T MD Border Menu, or the positioner, to adjust
the border symmetry. The graphic in the Softness box shows a profile of the border with
the difference in the sides representing the symmetry.
