Compositing the Pictures

On the V-1600HD, you can perform the three types of compositing described below.

• Picture-in-Picture (PinP)

This displays an inset screen superimposed on a background picture. Use the joystick and dial to adjust the position and size of the inset

screen.

• Luminance Key/Chroma Key (KEY)

Keying allows you overlay one video source onto another by removing (making transparent) a specific color. Use the dials to adjust the amount

of keying (LEVEL) and the degree of blur for the edges (GAIN).

* By default, the unit is set to apply black luminance-key extraction. You can use the menus to select a different color. Refer to "Menu Operations

and Menu List" (p. 47).

• Downstream Keyer (DSK)

A Downstream Keyer will key a video source over the final mix. Since the DSK is "downstream" of the main mix, the DSK can be an additional

compositing effect on top of a PiinP or Key that you have already applied to the main mix. You can use the dials to adjust the amount of keying

(LEVEL) and the degree of blur for the edges (GAIN).

* By default, the video input on channel 12 is assigned as the source for DSK. You can use the menu to select other channels as your DSK source.

Refer to "Menu Operations and Menu List" (p. 47).

Two modes are available for Picture-in-Picture on the V-1600HD. The joystick and dial function differently depending on the

mode.

• Resize Mode (PinP)

This allows adjustment of the inset screen itself. You can use the joystick to position the entire inset screen and use the dial to enlarge or

reduce it.

• Zoom Mode (VIEW)

This allows you to zoom, crop or re-position the video source within the inset screen. Use the joystick to re-position the video source within the

inset screen and use the dial to zoom in or out.
