Key Fill

The signal that uses key combination processing to fill in the areas left blank by the key
signals.

Key Gain

A parameter which is used to adjust the amplitude of the key signals.

Key Invert

A function which inverts the key signals.

Key Mask

This is the function that specifies the area for key combination using the box pattern, etc.
When only part of the area of the key signals is used, key combination is executed with
the unnecessary area masked.

Key Source

The video signals for creating the key signals.

Line Synchronizer

A function to automatically adjust the input image signal phase to the horizontal
synchronization reference signal phase.

Linear Key

The function which combines keys using monochrome key signals with gradations in its
outlines as a reference.

Lum
[Luminance]

The brightness portion of the video signals.

Luminance Key

The function which creates key signals based on the luminance (brightness) information
of the video signals to combine keys.

ME
[Mix Effect]

A video effect device which combines a number of video signals to create mix, wipe, key
and other video signals.

Mix

The picture-changing effect produced by overlapping one image with the next.
It is also referred to as “dissolve”.

Multi View Display

This function combines multiple materials and displays them on one screen. PGM, PVW
and the input material can be previewed at the same time on a single screen.

PinP [Picture in Picture]

[Program Bus]

The bus which always carries the program output signals.

PST
[Preset Bus]

RS-422

A serial interface standard. It is the interface used to control the switcher from an editor
or other external device.

Sat
[Saturation]

This refers to the intensity of the color chrominance level of video signals.

SDI
[Serial Digital Interface]

The standard by which video signals in various SD and HD formats are transmitted along
a single coaxial cable.

Self Key

A function that creates key signals from key fill signals for combining keys.

Setup Data

The memory in which the control panel statuses can be saved and recalled.
The button selection statuses as well as the border, color and other setting information
can be saved in this memory.

Tally

The signal which outputs the program output statuses of the input signals to an external
device. The LED that indicates the program output status on the control panel is also
referred to as tally.

Transition

A function that switches from one image to another.
Wipe, mix and other effects are available for the images during switching.

Tri-level Sync

The sync signal used for HD formats.
