Image Creation

Transitions
Switching from the current video feed to a new video feed
is referred to as a transition. Switching a background video
or key insertion/removal can be performed, depending on
the transition.
The method for switching video feeds (transition type) can
be set, and the transition executed using the buttons and
fader levers on the control panel.
Independent key transitions
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to
configure independent transitions on each keyer.
Executing an independent key transition in combination
with a common transition enables different transition types
to be used for the background and keys.
For details, see "Signal Selection and Transitions"
(page 74).
Keys
Images (keys), such as titles, can be superimposed on the
background video. Key processing is performed on a
keyer.
The key source (signal used to cut out a portion of the
background image), key fill (signal to embed in the cutout
portion) and key type (key source processing method) can
be selected for a key.
Resizer
This function adds effects, such as movement, rotation,
and scaling, to the created key.
For details, see "Keys" (page 107).
Wipes
This function switches from the current video feed to a
new video feed using a wipe pattern. There are two types
of wipe: those that can be selected in a common transition,
and those that can be selected in an independent key
transition.
You can apply various modifiers to a wipe pattern, such as
setting the wipe direction and pattern position.
For details, see "Wipes" (page 141).
DME wipes
This function switches from the current video feed to a
new video feed using a DME effect. There are two types of
DME wipe: those that can be selected in a common
transition, and those that can be selected in an independent
key transition.
You can apply various modifiers to a wipe pattern, such as
setting the wipe direction and pattern position.
Resizer DME wipes
Using the resizer, you can execute DME wipes of keys.
For details, see "DME Wipes" (page 155).
Digital Multi Effects (DME)
When used with the switcher, DME allows you to add
three-dimensional effects such as image movement,
rotation, and scaling, as well as a wide variety of special
effects.
Global effects
Global effects are special effects created by combining the
pictures of successive DME channels.
For details, see "DMEs" (page 213).
Frame memory
This function freezes and captures a single frame of the
input video feed as a still image for later use. You can also
specify a range in the input video to create still images to
form a frame memory clip.
For details, see "Frame Memory" (page 170).
Color backgrounds
This function is used to create color background video,
using a color signal created by a dedicated generator.
For details, see "Color Backgrounds" (page 184).
Video process
This function adjusts the luminance and hue of the input
signal.
For details, see "Video Process" (page 195).
Side flags
This function is used to attach separate video to both sides
of a video with a 4:3 aspect ratio to make a 16:9 aspect
ratio.
For details, see "Side Flags" (page 197).
