Part Names and Functions
11. Compositing Section (p. 31, p. 34, p. 35)
On the V-1600HD, you can carry out the following three types of compositing.
• Picture-in-Picture (PinP)
This displays an inset screen on a background. Use the dial and joystick on the top panel to adjust the size and location of the inset screen.
* Instead of employing a smaller full-frame version of your video source in the PinP inset, you can re-position and re-size the video material
within the inset screen. When [VIEW] is lit, you can re-size and re-position the video material inside the inset screen. When [PinP] is lit, you can
re-position and re-size the inset screen itself.
• KEY
This overlays luminance-key or chroma-key compositing on the background video. You use the [GAIN] dial in this section to adjust the degree
of edge blur and the [LEVEL] dial to adjust the amount of keying.
* By default, black luminance key is applied. You can use the menus to select other key colors. Refer to "Menu Operations and Menu List" (p. 47).
• DSK
When video transitions or mixing are performed upstream, and key compositing is performed farther downstream, the downstream
compositing feature is called the "DSK" (downstream keyer). You use the [GAIN] dial in this section to adjust the degree of edge blur and the
[LEVEL] dial to adjust the amount of keying.
* By default, channel 12 is configured as the source for DSK compositing. You can use the menus to select another channel. Refer to "Menu
Operations and Menu List" (p. 47).
* By default, the extraction color for DSK compositing is set to black. You can use the menus to select a different colors. Refer to "Menu
Operations and Menu List" (p. 47).
12. TRANSITION Dial and Indicator (p. 28)
Use this dial to set the transition time.
* By default, transition time is set to be displayed in seconds. You can use the menus to select a different unit. Refer to "Menu Operations and
Menu List" (p. 47).
13. WIPE PATTERN Selectors (p. 29)
These select the effect used for a video transition.
* You can use the menus to select a different pattern. Refer to "Menu Operations and Menu List" (p. 47).
14. DSK Button (p. 36)
This displays or hides the video set to be the source for DSK compositing (set at channel 12 by default). It lights up when the
source video is displayed and goes dark when the video is hidden.
15. TAKE Button (p. 29)
Press this button to output the channel that is in standby. The button flashes while a transition is being carried out. It goes dark
when the transition is completed.
16. Video Fader (p. 30)
You can use the video fader instead of the [TAKE] button to output a channel that is in standby. When you use the [TAKE] button
to make the transition, the transition occurs linearly, according to the setting of transition time, but when you use the video fader,
you can stop the operation while it is in progress. In cases where you desire to show a double exposure before completing the
transition, use the video fader.
