Keyer Menus
Keyer Menus
The key type, key mode, and clip adjustments for any of the M/E or DSK
keyers can be made from the Main panel using the M/E and DSK Keyers
subpanels (see
M/E Keyer Subpanels on page 114 and DSK Keyer Subpanel on
page 119 ). These controls are on the Main panel for immediate access.
However, some key adjustment for detail, such as opacity and mask con-
trols, are accessible from the corresponding Keyer menu. The Keyer sub-
panels and the corresponding menus will reflect and track the changes
made by either set of controls.
The Keyer menu controls are organized into several subcategories, each
with different menu selection based on the type of key. These menus are
accessed by touching the
Keyer
button, then the category is chosen from the
Mode
,
Priority
or
Mask
buttons at the bottom of the menu ( Figure 216 on
page 314 ). For a complete overview on key types and adjustments, refer to
Keying on page 46 .

four keyers in each M/E or the three DSK keyers from the Menu panel.
(Note that not all M/E key functionality is present in the DSK keyers).
