Key Modifiers
Edge type
Adds borders and other modifiers to the edge to a key.
Edge fill
A signal inserted in the edge areas is called an edge fill.
In a border, drop border, or shadow, a color matte or a 
si
gnal selected on the utility 1 bus can be set as the edge 
fill.
• In an outline, the key fill signal selected by the key fills 
t
he outline, and the background signal fills the rest of 
the image.
• In an emboss, color matte 1 signal and color matte 2 
si
gnal are used for the embossing.
Key drop
You can lower the key fill/key source position.
Key drop on mode: The key fill/key source position 
mov
es downward by eight lines or four lines.  
In key drop on mode for a drop border or shadow, it 
i
s possible to add a border to the top edge of the key.
Key drop off mode: The key fill/key source position does 
n
ot move.
Frame delay mode
When frame delay mode is enabled, key drop is set to key 
dr
op off mode (fixed).
Zabton
Inserts a translucent pattern to the key background. You 
can adjust the pattern size, color, and other parameters.
Mask
A mask is a function that allows a part of the image to be 
replaced by the background or a key. You can correct an 
image, such as unwanted holes that appear in the 
background or when a key is not the desired shape, using 
masks.
Two masks (main mask and sub mask) can be used on 
each key.
There are two types of masks.
Key mask: This masks out a part of the key so that the 
back
ground becomes visible.
Background mask: This masks out a part of the 
back
ground so that the key fill becomes visible.
Key Memory
This function allows the key settings data on each cross-
point button to be automatically stored, so that when the 
same cross-point button number is selected the settings 
data are recalled.
There are two adjustment modes, depending on the 
sett
ings data being stored.
Simple mode: Key type, clean mode (including chroma 
key
 plane function), key position, key invert, key 
adjustments (excluding color cancel, window, Y 
balance, shadow, foreground color correction of a 
chroma key) settings are stored.
Full mode: All settings, excluding transitions, are stored.
For details about setting key memory mode, see “Setting 
the Key Memory Mode” (page 396).
Resizer
A resizer is used to set a two-dimensional transform 
(move, enlarge/reduce, rotate) or border/crop on a key.
It can also add effects to a key.
A resizer cannot be used on additional keys.
SL Key
An SL key is a software key that uses a GPU to reproduce 
the same functions as a hardware key.
If the number of keys on a single switcher bank is four or 
lo
wer, SL keys are set as key 5 to key 8.
Only one switcher bank can use an SL key.
