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
signal 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
th
e 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
mo
ves 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
no
t move.
Frame delay mode
When frame delay mode is enabled, key drop is set to key
dro
p 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 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 o
n
each key.
There are two types of masks.
Key mask: This masks out a part of the key so that the
bac
kground becomes visible.
Background mask: This masks out a part of the
bac
kground 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
setting
s 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 transiti
ons, are stored.
For details about setting key memory mode, see “Setting
the Key Memory Mode” (page 392).
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.
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
lower, SL keys are set as
key 5 to key 8.
Only one switcher bank can use an SL key.
In an SL key, there are restrictions on the functions and
set
tings that can be used.
For details about setting SL keys, see “Setting an SL key”
(page 384).
