Completing a Software Upgrade
When the software upgrade is complete, the menu
displays a message indicating the software upgrade
was successful, the Upgrade LED on the rear of the
switcher turns off, and the switcher performs an
automatic restart.
Once the switcher restarts, it is ready to use. You can
then safely remove the USB drive.
Note:
• If you are upgrading a switcher as a result of a
corrupt configuration or a previously failed
upgrade, you may need to reconfigure the network
address and reload switcher memories.
For More Information on...
• configuring the network address of your switcher,
refer to the section "IP Address" on page 15.
• reloading switcher memories, refer to the section
"Using the Memory System" on page 33.
Advanced Keying
Keys can be modified to give them more distinct
qualities and personalize your images.
Modifying Keys
All key types have the following parameters that can
be modified:
• Transparency
• Mask
The Transparency function allows you to adjust the
transparency of the key from completely opaque to
completely transparent. As the level of transparency
is adjusted, the graphic in the menu changes to
represent the current percentage of transparency.
A mask is a keying technique in which a pattern is
combined with the key source to block out unwanted
portions of the key source. Mask modifiers are:
• Force (M-Frce) — forces the area inside the mask
region to the foreground.
• Invert (M-Inv) — reverses the polarity of the mask.
Masked regions become visible and visible regions
become masked.
