4. Operation
Using Keys
~ If the key source resolution is greater than the output resolution, the
DCS-200 only displays an area equal to the output resolution. This area
can be positioned using the H Offset and V Offset fields on the Key
Setup Menu.
~ If the key source resolution is less than the output resolution, the key is
centered in the middle of the screen. H Offset and V Offset can be used
to position the key within the output active space.

When the KEY button is pressed, one of two different actions can occur, depending on how
the “Key Auto Take” function is set in the User Preference Menu.
• Key Auto Take Off
• Key Auto Take On

When the “Key Auto Take” function is OFF in the User Preference Menu, you must use
the TAKE button to perform a “key” transition.
Use the following steps to mix a key up or down, when Key Auto Take is OFF:
1. Press KEY. The button blinks to indicate that a “key’ transition is pending. If
Menu Context is ON, the Key Setup Menu appears, enabling you to change the
key source or adjust key properties.
2. Press TAKE. The system mixes the key up or down, at the current transition rate.
Please note:
~ If the transition is a “key up,” the KEY button lights solid when the key is
fully on Program.
~ If the transition is a “key down,” the KEY button automatically turns off
when the key is fully off of Program.
~ Refer to the “Key Transition Combinations” section on page 97 for
descriptions of the many key combinations that can be performed with
the DCS-200.
Tip
Select the key source and adjust key parameters prior to your
production. The key must be visible on Program in order to
visually adjust clip, gain and opacity. Refer to the “Key Setup
Menu” section on page 67 for details.
Note
Refer to the “User Preference” section on page 70 for details
on setting parameters in the User Preference Menu.
Important
When Key Auto Take is OFF, if a source is pending, you will
transition to the new source and add (or remove) the key
when TAKE is pressed. Sources will flip-flop. If you do not
want to transition to a new source, simply press the blinking
source button to “un-pend” it.
