Picture-In-Picture And Downstream Key; Picture-In-Picture - Datavideo HS-3200 Instruction Manual

In some setups the Key image can be hidden behind other key images. This is not a fault.
Change the position or size of the Key image if required.
The DSK 1 layer can occupy the whole screen. If set up incorrectly this layer can stop the
video layers behind it from being seen properly. Re-adjust your DSK 1 settings or switch off
the DSK1 function on the HS-3200 to restore the video behind it.
The DSK 2 layer can occupy the whole screen. If set up incorrectly this layer can stop the
video layers behind it from being seen properly. Re-adjust your DSK 2 settings or switch off
the DSK2 function on the HS-3200 to restore the video behind it.
The logo layer is the uppermost layer. If standard logo (still) is chosen, the maximum logo
size will be restricted to 480 x 1080. If animation logo (dynamic) is chosen, the logo will be
confined within 480 x 270.
Note: Where possible prepare and position the upper video layer elements in advance of
the live production starting to avoid them appearing on the program output incorrectly.
Most broadcast networks have guidelines and advice on the use of video, images, music,
logos and on screen text so it is best to check beforehand when planning a production. Do
not use copyright protected content until you have the relevant permissions. Information on
royalty free video, images and music is widely available, speak to your local dealer or search
for advice on the internet.

6.1 Picture-in-Picture and Downstream Key

The Picture in Picture (PIP) feature of the Key 1, Key 2, Key 3 and Key 4 layers can be used
for displaying a smaller secondary image in front of the background video layer. This smaller
PIP image can be resized, cropped, repositioned and even keyed by the user to avoid an
important part of the background video layer being covered by it.
The Down Stream Key layers (DSK 1 & DSK 2) are placed on top of all the previous layers.
These layers are typically used with Character Generator inputs for displaying titles, graphics,
lower thirds, clocks and logos. Datavideo offer several Character Generator products
(additional purchase) such as TC-200, CG-250, CG-350 and CG-500. If set up incorrectly these
DSK layers can also stop the video layers behind them from being displayed properly.
The HS-3200 has six dedicated keyers, Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4, DSK 1 and DSK 2. All six
keyers can be active simultaneously.

Picture-In-Picture

In this example, we are supplying the HS-3200 with an HD-SDI live video signal to input 2;
this is selected on the Program row. We have also assigned a STILL image to input 6. This still
image, selected on the Keyer sub menu, will be displayed in the PIP window.
Note: See Section 5.3 for assigning a STILL image to input 6.
