KEY INV
to invert the polarity of the selected key signal. For example, if a
Self Key source (such as a title camera) has white letters on a black background, the
white letters normally cut the hole. When
KEY INV
is pressed, the signal’s polarity
is reversed and the black background cuts the hole. This function is often used to
key black text that is printed on a white background. Note that all key types can be
inverted.

KEY PV
to shortly take control of the MLE’s (or
DSK’s) preview monitor output, to show how the key would appear if

adjustment, when both keyers are in use.
KEY PV
is non-latching, and must be held
down to view the key’s preview.
The
Key Preview function itself is necessary because each keyer does not have a
