Chapter 6 Advanced Operation
The HS-3200 is a High Definition Digital Video Switcher. As well as mixing video and audio
sources, it has additional functions such as Picture In Picture (PIP), DSK, LUMA KEY, Chroma
Key and Logos.
Before attempting to use the HS-3200's PIP, DSK LUMA KEY and LOGO functions it may help
to first understand the order of the video layers at the HS-3200 Program (PGM) outputs.
The Background video layer is the normal video layer (black screen, color matte, color bars,
inputs 1-12, still pictures 1 and 2 or Flex™ sources) when mixing and switching with the HS-
3200. It occupies the whole screen area of the Program output. This layer can be hidden or
partly hidden by the PIP, DSK and LOGO layers in front of it.
The Key 1 layer (PIP1, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is
shown in front of the Background video layer when enabled.
The Key 2 layer (PIP2, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is
shown in front of the Background video and Key 1 layers when enabled.
The Key 3 layer (PIP3, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is
shown in front of the Background video, Key 1 and Key 2 layers when enabled.
The Key 4 layer (PIP4, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is
shown in front of the Background video, Key 1, Key 2 and Key 3 layers when enabled.
