Main Functions 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). 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 154). 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 212). 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). 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 169). 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 183). 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 140). Video process This function adjusts the luminance and hue of the input signal. For details, see "Video Process" (page 194). 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 196). 18
