Internal HD/SD Hardware Downstream Keyer
KONA X cards have a powerful HD/SD hardware keyer that can place graphic files
with an alpha channel over HD/SD video in a selectable matte or the contents of
the card's framebuffer from a software application.
• Key a bug or text over picture and avoid what might normally be a lengthy
software render.
• Key video that has an alpha-channel over video input or a matte.
• The downstream keyer operates with HD/SD video; it is not available for
UltraHD/4K signals.
