Key Masking
Both upstream and downstream keyers have an adjustable rectangular mask that can be used
to crop out harsh edges and other artifacts in the video signal. The mask consists of left, right,
top and bottom crop controls. Masking can also be used as a creative tool to build rectangular
cut outs on screen.
On the broadcast panel the mask is set up for each upstream and downstream key from the
system control mask menu which is available from the EFFECTS KEYS or DSK KEYS menus.
On the software control panel the mask is set up for each upstream or downstream key from
the palettes in the settings tab.
Fly Key
Luma, chroma and pattern upstream key types include a fly key setting. If a DVE channel is
available the Fly Key setting allows DVE effects to be applied to the key.
