DSK C HANNELS
FIGURE 7 (TC1 SHOWN)
DSK layers support downstream overlays ( M/E Keys are upstream overlays, i.e., ahead of the main Switcher ).
• Display DSK channels independently, and swap them during a switch with custom transitions.
• Use Media Players to overlay title pages, including scrolls, crawls and lower-thirds, or assign a
Camera feed or Network source to an overlay channel.
• Alternatively, use the Buffer channels to assign a specific title, still image or animation effect to any
overlay channel.
• Independent Crop , Position, 3D Rotation , and Scale controls for each DSK channel permit you (for
example) to configure multiple sources as ‘Picture in Picture’ elements, revealing them with
individual custom effects.
