Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes and Frame Memory (Key/Wipe/FM Menu)
The status area shows the key memory settings, mask and border processing order, key priority, cross-point hold, pattern limit transition, and wipe edge settings for each operating bank.
Selecting the bank to which the settings apply
For the section "Selecting the key memory mode" and subsequent sections, select the operating bank to which the settings apply.
Press directly on the list appearing in the status area, to select the operating bank to which the settings apply
Press the arrow keys to scroll the reverse video cursor, to the operating bank to which the settings apply.

Switching video process memory on or off
Press [Video Proc Memory], turning it on.Video Process Memory
When using video process adjustments for an image effect on a bus, this function saves the final values for each pair number for the signals. The video process on/off setting is not saved.
When you change the adjustments the values are automatically saved, and these last values are recalled when the pair number is selected. In other words, by switching video process memory on, regardless of the video process information for each bus, you can carry out video process adjustments for each input signal.
The parameters saved are as follows.
VIDEO GAIN, Y GAIN, BLACK LEVEL, C GAIN, HUE DELAY
Selecting the key memory mode
Key Memory: Set the key memory operation mode for each of the M/E and P/P banks.
The key memory function allows the keyer settings on each cross-point button to be automatically stored, so that the next time the same cross-point button is selected these settings are recalled automatically. There are two modes for key memory: simple mode and full mode.
The parameters stored in each mode are as follows.
Simple mode: key type, clean mode (including the plane setting for chroma keying), key position, key inversion, and adjustment values for the particular key type (Clip, Gain, Density, Filter, etc. This includes color vector key, wipe pattern key, key wipe pattern key, and chroma key.
However, in the case of a chroma key, it excludes color cancel, Y balance, foreground CCR, window, and shadow.)
Full mode: All settings except transition (the same parameters as simple mode, Fine Key, key modifiers, main and sub mask settings, chroma key detailed settings, and so on)
Selecting the processing order of masks and borders
Mask>Border: Apply the Mask effect, then apply the Border effect.
Border>Mask: Apply the Border effect, then apply the Mask effect.
Selecting the key priority operation mode
Normal: The key priority sequence can be varied freely.
Fix: Fixed at currently set priority sequence.
Setting the operation mode of the key bus [XPT HOLD] button
Key Disable: The [XPT HOLD] button of the key bus functions as a key disable button. When the [XPT HOLD] button is on, recalling a snapshot or keyframe effect does not change the key settings, including the crosspoint selection.
Key Disable with Status: Same as [Key Disable], and further disables the reflection of the key on/off status.
Xpt Hold: The [XPT HOLD] button of the key bus functions as a cross-point hold button. When the [XPT HOLD] is on, recalling a snapshot or keyframe effect does not change the cross-point selection.
Automatically naming and saving to frame memory
Press [FM Auto Store], turning it on.
Switch on or off the function to automatically attach a name and save the frozen image in frame memory when the active frame memory is changed.
Setting the default wipe edge softness
Adjust the wipe edge softness for each of the M/E and P/P banks.
Knob | Parameter | Adjustment | Setting values |
3 | Wipe Edge Soft | Default value of wipe edge softness | –50.00 to +50.00 |
Settings for the show key function
In the <Show Key Enable> group, press the signal for which "show key" is enabled, turning it on.
To set the time for which "show key" is held, press [Hold Time].
Adjust the following parameter.
Knob | Parameter | Adjustment | Setting values |

Show key hold time |
0 to 999 (frames) |
Setting the operation mode when the pattern limit is released
In the <Pattern Limit Transition> group of the Switcher>Key/Wipe/FM menu, select either of the following operation modes.
Auto:
When the pattern limit is released, the remainder of the transition is carried out automatically at a special-purpose transition rate.
Manual: After the pattern limit is released, the transition waits for the next operation, then executes. Before you move the fader lever or press [AUTO TRANS], the transition is not executed.
Settings for DSK auto drop function
In the <DSK Auto Drop> group, press one of [DSK1] to [DSK4] for which you want the DSK to be deleted automatically when pressing XPT buttons on PGM bus, turning it on.
