Keyers
Self Key Control
Enable
Select to use the luminance of the FG signal as a key. The
BG is keyed and filled with the FG source. Use this control to
key a caption derived from the FG video into the Background
video and fill with a matte, black or video. Usually chroma
key mode would be disabled if self key mode is enabled.
Multiply
Select to key the FG signal before adding to the keyed BG
signal. Select if the FG signal is not black outside of the
caption fill area.
Invert
Select to invert the clipped key.
Min Clip
Use this control to clip all key signals below the threshold
set by the control – i.e. if the control is set to 20 then all key
levels up to 20% of max will be removed. Monitor the keyed
FG to adjust this control.
Max Clip
Use this control to amplify and clip all key signals above the
threshold set by the control – i.e. if the control is set to 80,
then all key levels above 80% of max will be clipped and
amplified to full scale. Monitor the keyed FG to adjust this
control.
