Input Keyer Modes
Spyder supports multiple types of key modes, which provide a way to cut user-defined portions of a live video
input signal away, allowing for visual effects such as non-rectangular windows and titling. The various key
modes supported by Spyder are listed below.
1. LUMA KEY: Clips pixels away from source image that are below a user-defined darkness
threshold.
2. COLOR KEY: Clips pixels within a user specified threshold from a specific color from the source.
3. LINEAR KEY: A linear key is comprised of two video sources, known as a cut signal and a fill
signal. The fill signal represents the source video material intended to be shown on screen, and
the luminance (green) channel of the cut signal is used as a real-time video mask. Like the
luminance and color key, the linear key allows for non-rectangular shapes to be created,
however a greater deal of control is provided with the linear key since the video input used to
generate the cut is a completely different video signal.
