memory of the control panel. To use still images in video
transitions and compositions, they must be downloaded to
still image memory.

a) To output still images that have been downloaded to IN01 to IN24,
the corresponding frame synchronizers must be enabled. Selection of
IN01 to IN24 makes it impossible to select video that is input to the
corresponding input connectors. For more information about how to
enable frame synchronizers see "Using the internal frame
synchronizers" (page 78).
b) Select a captured image.

Using Stored Still Images in
Background Transitions
Images stored in still image memory can be used in
background transitions in the same way as video signals
input to the switcher.
To use a stored still image, select the cross-point
corresponding to the storage location (IN01 to IN24, STL1
to STL4).
For details about how to execute background transitions,
see "Switching Backgrounds" (page 108).
Using 32-bit TGA Still Image Files in
Keys
Tip
The 32-bit TGA format supports an α (alpha) channel for
storage of additional data, such as key data. By using this
format, you can store key and fill data in a single image
file, which allows you to conserve still image storage
memory.
1
See "Downloading still images from USB flash
drives" and download a 32-bit TGA file to a still image
memory location (STL1 to STL4).
2
Select the target key by pressing a button (KEY1 to
KEY4, DSK1, DSK2) in the KEY DELEGATION
block (when using the BKDF-901) or in the key/AUX
bus control block (when using the BKDF-902).
3
Press the EXT button in the KEYER block.
4
For both the key source (KSrc) and key fill (KIns),
select the still image memory location (STL1 to STL4)
to which you downloaded a file in step 1.
