Press [Separate Side], turning it on.
Separate Sides is enabled. If the video and key signals
currently being output to the monitor are the front side,
you can select the Front signals. If they are the back
side, you can select the Back signals. Video and key
signals are selected using the cross-point control
blocks of each M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank.
Shaped Video Settings
For each of the front and back sides of the image, this
specifies whether to handle input video from the switcher
as shaped video (processed key signals).
You can also make these settings for the output video.
The shaped video setting is always enabled since the input
video signal to the first channel is always set to the
processed key signal on the switcher. The second to fourth
channel signals are disabled. The output video is always
enabled.
Enabling/disabling shaped video
1
Open the DME >Input/Output >Video/Key menu
(4162).
2
In the <Shaped Video> group, select the target video
signal to set.
Front Input: The Front image of the input video
signal is treated as shaped video.
Back Input: The Back image of the input video signal
is treated as shaped video.
Output: The output video signal is treated as shaped
video.
About enabling/disabling shaped video input
(Front Input/Back Input)
Enable/disable shaped video to match the input video
signals.
For example, enable shaped video input when the input
video signal is a processed key signal like a CG image.
Disable shaped video input when the input video signal is
not a processed key, for example, when a video signal
taken with a camera is removed using a key signal, such as
a title.
About shaped video output settings (Output)
Enable/disable shaped video output of the output video
signal to match enable/disable state of the switcher clean
mode.
When shaped video output is enabled, it is recommended
that the switcher key type be set to linear key.
About the relationship between shaped
video output and effects
When shaped video output is disabled, the video signal
before key processing is output. The following state
occurs, according to the selected effect.
(a) The output video signal is affected by the key signal.
(b) A different image appears in the parts removed by key
processing.
(c) There is no change in the output video signal for effects
which are applied to key signals only.
When multiple effects are applied, the order of priority is
(a) > (b) > (c).
The following explains the relationship between effects
and states (a), (b), and (c).
(a) The output video signal is affected by the key
signal
The output video signal is affected by the key signal when
the following effects are selected. To prevent the signal
from being affected, set the DME key source to [Int Key],
or choose an appropriate input key signal.
Page Turn, Roll, Cylinder, Sphere, Spotlighting, global
effects (Combiner, Brick, Shadow)
(b) A different image appears in the parts
removed by key processing
The following states result, depending on the selected
effect.
Removal with the key can be checked by enabling the
background.
Border, Beveled Edge: Added also to the outer side of the
cropped video signal.
Trail, Keyframe Strobe: The key signal level of the
afterimage portion varies with adjustments of the
[Decay] parameter, but the afterimage portion of the
video signal does not disappear until [Trail Eraser]
([KF Strobe Eraser]) is enabled or the effect is
disabled.
Lighting: The Lighting effect is applied to the whole
picture.
Spotlighting: When [BKGD] or [Both] is selected in the
<Area Select> group, light strikes the entire
background.
(c) No change in the output video signal for
effects which are applied to key signals only
The following states result, depending on the selected
effect.
Removal with the key can be checked by enabling the
background.
Crop: The Crop effect is applied to the key signal only.
The video signal does not change.
Edge Soft: The Edge Soft effect is applied to the key
signal only. The video signal does not change.
Shadow, Flex Shadow, Combine Shadow: The key
signal density changes. The video signal does not
change.
