Key Masking
Both upstream and downstream keyers have an adjustable rectangular mask that can be used
to crop out harsh edges and other artifacts in the video signal. The mask consists of left, right,
top and bottom crop controls. Masking can also be used as a creative tool to build rectangular
cut outs on screen.
The mask can be adjusted using the mask settings in the switcher's LCD menu, or via the
upstream and downstream keyer palettes in ATEM Software Control.
Flying Key
Luma, chroma and pattern upstream key types include a flying key setting. If a DVE channel is
available the flying key setting allows DVE effects to be applied to the key.
