Blackmagic LiveKey
[Standard Definition Only]
Video and Key output support is included with the
DeckLink Pro
capture
card.
You can output the key and fill channel using DeckLink Pro with a down-stream
keyer/mixer for use in ‘live events’ and broadcast graphics.
DeckLink
(i and ii),
DeckLink Pro
,
DeckLink SP
and
DeckLink Extreme
cards also feature internal keyers. This means you can key inside the card
and dub video through the card with keyed graphics over the top. Blackmagic
LiveKey also features ‘fade up and down’ of the graphic automatically.
Blackmagic LiveKey lets you enable these modes and when you quit this
application, the card will return to a normal video operation. Because you can
dub from your broadcast deck to VHS via the DeckLink Pro, DeckLink SP and
DeckLink Extreme cards, you can finish a master, and then using Blackmagic
LiveKey add a company logo or bug to your show reel dubs.
As Blackmagic LiveKey is used in environments where the keyed picture is
broadcast to air or for live events; once launched, Blackmagic LiveKey will
dominate the output of the Decklink card. This means that even if Blackmagic
LiveKey is in the background and another application is in use, the video output
will be stable and reliable.
NOTE: When Blackmagic LiveKey is in use, you won’t be able to open any other
software application that needs to control the Decklink card, such as your NLE
or compositing software.
