Basic Operations for Keys

Setting Keys

Use the following procedure to perform basic operations

for keys.

A key is a function for cutting out the background image

and then inserting an image or text in that portion. The

signal for cutting out the background is called a key

source, the signal for filling the cutout portion is called a

key fill, and the block for processing a key is called a

keyer.

Detailed Adjustments to DME Wipe Patterns” (page II-13).

Making Detailed Adjustments to the

Chroma Key

When, for example, you want to fine-tune the results of

automatic chroma key adjustment, you can specify each

chroma key setting manually in the [Manual Chromakey]

menu. You can also replace background colors (typically

blue) that seep into the outline portions of the video being

combined (such as into a subject’s hair) with colors such

as gray to make them less conspicuous.

Selecting Key Types

Select the key types to cut off the images.

You can select any of the following key types.

Lum (luminance key) / Lin (linear key): Use these

when inserting titles or logos onto the image.

Use brightness signals such as those for black and

white text as the key source.

For details on automatic chroma key adjustment, see “Composing Images

with Chroma Keys” (c Basic Operation).

Tip

To display the [Manual Chromakey] menu

Display the [Key] menu, turn the V1 knob to select

[Chromakey Manual Adj], and press this knob.

Linear keys have a reduced variability in gain that

allows more precise adjustment when compared to

luminance keys.

For details on the [Manual Chromakey] menu, see “[Manual Chromakey]

Menu” (page II-28).

Input Image Freezing and

Frame Memory

Chapter

Overview

Freezing Input Images

Input freeze is a function that allows you to freeze images

from individual input signals.

Press the FM button in the menu control block to

display the [Frame Memory] menu, and turn the V1

knob to select [Input Freeze].

Frame memory is a function that allows you to freeze

images and then write it to the memory of the unit so that

you can use it as input material.

Images that are stored in frame memory can be used as the

video input signals (FM) of the cross point buttons (PGM

buttons and PST/KEY buttons).

Turn the V3 knob to select the input signal, turn the V4

knob to select [On], and press the V4 knob at the

timing you want to freeze.

The input image is frozen.

Tip

If you want to freeze an image again, select [Off],

press the V4 knob, and then select [On] again.

Input freeze and frame memory are not available in 3D

mode (the [Frame Memory] menu is not displayed).

Tips

Importing and Exporting

Images

• If you import TGA files or TIFF files that include

alpha channels, a frame memory that includes a key

source will be created.

• You can import RLE-compressed TGA files.

• Compressed TIFF files cannot be imported.

• If you import BMP files, or TGA or TIFF files that

do not include alpha channels, a frame memory with

an all-white key source will be created.

You can use a USB flash drive to import images to the unit

as frame memory, and export the frame memory saved in

the unit.

• If a frame memory is registered to the specified

frame memory number, it will be overwritten by the

imported image.

Importing Images

File formats supported for import

• TGA

• TIFF

• BMP

Export Frame Memory

You can export the frame memory stored in the unit to a

USB flash drive.

Notes

Insert the USB flash drive into the USB connector of

the unit.

• Enter up to 25 single-byte alphanumeric characters

(including the extension) for file names. A file with a

name of 26 characters or more will not be displayed.

• If an image is too large, the protruding portions will be

cut. If an image is too small, the missing portions will be

filled with black.

Display the [Frame Memory] menu and turn the V1

knob to select [Export].

Turn each knob to select the frame memory to export,

and then press the V4 knob to start exporting.

• Import operations are not guaranteed for TGA and TIFF

files that include layer information.

When the V4 knob is pressed, the specified number of

• The TALLY/GPI connector will be dedicated to

TALLY. The TALLY will be fixed at IN1 (SDI IN 1, IN

2) and IN2 (SDI IN 3, IN 4).

The connectors for inputting and outputting 3D video signals are fixed. When

configuring a 3D system, see “Example 2: When 3D system” (page II-6) in

“System Configuration Examples”.

Notes and restrictions

The following restrictions apply when configuring a 3D

system including the unit.

• Configure the 3D system with only one MCS-8M unit.

Two units cannot be used linked together.

• When the unit is operated in a 3D system, only an HD

(1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/59.94, or 720p/50) signal

format can be used. If the signal format is changed from

HD to SD, 3D mode is canceled.

• Audio embedded in HDMI inputs cannot be used.
