Selecting the key source
When combined, a key source cannot be selected on the 
channel with the lowest number. It is fixed to [Ext Key].
1
Open the DME >Input/Output >Video/Key menu 
(4162).
2
Select the key source in the <Front Key> group for the 
front input signal and in the <Back Key> group for the 
back input signal.
Ext Key: Use the key signal sent from the switcher as 
the key source.
Int Key: Use the full-size DME internal key signal as 
the key source.
Lum Key: Use the input video luminance signal as the 
key source.
3
When [Ext Key] or [Lum Key] is selected, set the 
following parameters.
• [Ext Key] and [Lum Key] in the <Front Key> group 
share the [Clip] and [Gain] parameter settings. 
Similarly, [Ext Key] and [Lum Key] in the <Back 
Key> group share the [Clip] and [Gain] parameter 
settings.
• When combined, the [Ext Key] parameter is 
disabled on the channel with the lowest number.
Interpolation Settings
This specifies the methods used for interpolation 
processing of input video signals and input key signals.
For input video signals, you can select from the following 
four methods.
• Detect changes in the luminance and chrominance 
signals separately, and switch automatically between 
fields and frames. You can select the degree of change 
detection.
• Detect changes in the luminance signal separately, and 
switch automatically between fields and frames. You 
can select the degree of change detection.
• Do interpolation in field units.
• Do interpolation in frame units.
For input key signals, you can select from the following 
three methods.
• Detect changes in the luminance signal separately, and 
switch automatically between fields and frames. You 
can select the degree of change detection.
• Do interpolation in field units.
• Do interpolation in frame units.
You can also select the number of pixels used in 
interpolation processing.
You can also select the method used to show the picture 
reduced or expanded.
• The <Video Field/Frame Mode> group and <Key Field/
Frame Mode> group settings are available only when the 
signal format is 1080i or 1080PsF.
• When the signal format is 1080PsF, only [Field] or 
[Frame] in the <Video Field/Frame Mode> group and 
<Key Field/Frame Mode> group can be selected. When 
the DME is rebooted, the setting changes to [Frame].
• There is no restriction on the <Interpolation Mode> 
group and <Filter Mode> group settings due to the signal 
format.
Selecting an interpolation method
1
Open the DME >Input/Output >Process menu (4163).
2
In the <Video Field/Frame Mode> group, select the 
interpolation method for the video signal.
Adaptive Y/C: Detect changes in the luminance and 
chrominance components of the video signal 
separately, and switch automatically between 
fields and frames.
Adaptive Y: Detect changes in the luminance 
component of the video signal separately, and 
switch automatically between fields and frames.
Field: Do interpolation in field units. This gives 
natural movement, suitable for movies.
Frame: Do interpolation in frame units. This gives 
higher image precision, suitable for still pictures.
3
When [Adaptive Y/C] or [Adaptive Y] is selected in 
step 2, set the following parameter.
4
In the <Key Field/Frame Mode> group, select the 
interpolation method for the key signal.
Adaptive: Detect changes in the luminance 
component of the key signal separately, and 
switch automatically between fields and frames.
