size is changed.
PinP combinations using the flying key
When “Full” is selected using the Type item in “3-4-1. Selecting the key type”, PinP combinations can be 
performed using the flying key.
(At this point in time, the Clip item and Gain item cannot be set on the Adjust sub menu.)
With the full key, the image on the full screen serves as the key source signal so an edge will not be added 
unless a further step is taken. 
To add an edge, mask the key signals so that the key source signals are made smaller than the entire screen.
For details on masking, refer to “3-4-8. Masking the key signals”.
