on the Program/Preset MLE. You can choose between Self Key, Auto Select (Linear) Key,
UltraChrome Advanced Chroma Key, and Preset Pattern Key. You can also select a variety of
parameters and key transitions for the selected key.
The Keyer Module operates the same as the Keyer Module, with the addition of Keyers 5 and 6
