Masks - Sony MVS-8000 User Manual

Masks

There are two masks, which can be used to mask off unneeded parts of a key
or background, or to remove defects, and these are known as the main mask and
subsidiary mask. You can either use the main mask and subsidiary mask
independently, or at the same time.
For an overview of the masks, see page 51.
