Sample of 4 Keyers in Use

  • Resizer
    All ME keyers are equipped with 2.5D-DVE (Resizer) and support PinP. Move, expand and shrink the input key signals using Resizer.

Examples of Resizer

PinP with frame

Able to mix 6ch layer with using BKGD-DVE (2ch).

  • Chroma key
    By implementing the Primatte®* algorithm, real time and high quality key composition are possible. 4ch chroma key enabled for 1 ME.

  • Key preset
    The 4 key settings per keyer for each ME and 4 key settings per DSK are all equipped with a savable preset function. These settings can be called directly via button operation.
  • Upstream key
    Each input is equipped with a 4ch upstream key capable of attaching related information such as names for relay source materials, location and people as well as different CG materials to the ends of up-converted materials.
  • Downstream key
    4ch are available. The ME is selectable for the DSK base signal (ME1 to 4) and can be assigned to PGM 1 or 2 as desired. Clean output is enabled per DSK

Diverse DVE Transitions

In addition to wipe, mix, and cut transitions, DVE transitions with 3D DVE 2ch, such as size reduction and sliding, can be performed. Paint, mosaic, defocus and other image effects are enabled for the A/B and key buses.

  • All channels are equipped with 3D DVE supporting background and keys for each ME.

Memory Functions

Using memory function, setting, video and effects can be easily stored and recalled. It allows quick operation of switching and recalling effects in live video production, supports efficient operation and making it easy to perform video effects for more complicated operations.

  • Video memory
    The 4ch each of equipped CLIP and STILL memory (V+K) can be used simultaneously for video footage and saved to each of the 81ch in non-volatile internal memory (SSD). Up to 60s of video can be saved to video memory in standard mode, and up to 30s in high quality mode*. Clips can also be recorded with embedded audio. Playback can be linked to fader transitions in addition to the KEY ON/OFF and AUTO buttons.

    • * 4ch each of video and still memory plus an additional 81ch of stills within the SSD can be saved in the project file.
  • Animation wipe
    Animation wipes can be easily created using CLIP recorded to video memory. Playback can be linked to a fader transition. Material length can be adjusted by specifying clip IN and OUT points.

Animation Wipe Examples

  • Shot memory
    This function recalls background transition patterns or other video effects, including PinP size, position, border width, and key on (maximum of 81 memories). Effect dissolve can be set to ensure smooth switching from the current effect to the next effect registered in shot memory.

Display Example of Shot memory

  • Event memory
    This function allows continuous image effects to be registered and played back in a timeline, enabling complex image effects to be executed via simple operations. Seamless effects can be achieved by interpolating events with each other during continuous playback.
  • Macro memory
    This function allows record and playback of a series of operations on the Control Panel. It can also record and playback setting information, such as input/output and keyers. Macro memories can be played back by assigning them to the cross point buttons, such as macro bus, PGM, and PST.

Built-in 4ch MultiViewer Function

An independent 4ch MultiViewer output function is provided as standard, enabling displays of up to 16 split screens per channel.

  • MultiViewer can be selected from a total of nine patterns, including four split, five split (two patterns), six split (two patterns), nine split,10 split (two patterns), and 16 split.
  • Source names, tallies, audio level meters, clock and safety markers can be displayed.
  • Select between fit mode, in which the video image is the same size as the split frame, and squeeze mode, which places the source name and level meter outside the image.
