3. Basic operations
3-4.  Key
This operation combines the background image with another image. The key definition can be adjusted, and an 
edge can be added to the combined image.
Also available as materials besides KEY for combining with the background image are PinP (picture in picture) 
and DSK (downstream key). The figure below shows their priorities.

3. Basic operations
3-4-1.  Selecting the key type

Press the [KEY] button to light its indicator, and display the KEY menu.
 Refer to “2-1-5. LCD menu area”.
 Turn [F1] to display the KEY sub menu.
 Turn [F2] to select the Type item.

Lum (luminance key/self key):
   This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component or luminance and chroma 
component of the key fill signal.
Linear (linear key/EXT key):
   This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key source signal. 
  It is used when the key source signal and key fill signal are different.
Chroma (chroma key/self key):
  This is for creating the key signals using a specific hue of the key fill signal as the reference.
Full (full key/self key):
  This is for creating the key signals using the images on the full screen as the key source signals.
  PinP combinations are possible in conjunction with the flying key.   See “3-4-9. Flying key”.
Since the luminance and chroma keys are operated as self keys, the key fill signals are used as the key 
source signals. For the full key, the images on the full screen are used as the key source signals. 
When the luminance key, chroma key or full key has been selected as the key type, the key signals will 
remain unchanged even when the key source signals are switched.
When using the linear key, use material with a black background and white characters or shape to be 
combined by the key as the key source signal. Material which is not black and white may not be combined 
clearly.
Material with a white background and black characters, etc. can be reversed using the key invert function for 
use.
 When the luminance key has been selected, the chroma component can be included in the generation of the 
key signals in view of the self key application. (This does not apply to the linear key.)
Turn [F3], and select the setting using the LumKey item.
ChrmOn:   In addition to the luminance component, the chroma component is also tak\
en into account in 
the generation of the key signals.
   This is the setting for using a color with a low luminance component for the key signals (such 
as when defining blue characters).
ChrmOff:  The key signals are generated from only the luminance component.
 Turn [F4] to select the fill type using the Fill item.
Bus:  The bus signal is used for the key fill signal.
Matte:  The internal fill matte is used for the key fill signal.
