Tip:
You can see where DVE channels are allocated from the
Status page in DashBoard.
Keep the following in mind when working with a Fly
Key:
•
The Fly Key feature consumes a single DVE channel
for self keys and chroma keys, but two DVE channels
for an auto select key.
•
The Fly Key feature is not available when the
switcher is in Standard mode.
•
The Fly Key feature cannot be applied to a DVE key.
•
The Key Invert feature is not available for a Fly Key.
•
The self key Fly Key can be used with all MultiScreen
layouts. The auto select key Fly Key can only be used
with the Dual Vert or Dual Horiz MultiScreen layouts.
•
A chroma key should be initialized and adjusted
before the DVE (Fly Key) is applied to it.
