Processing Key Signals
To turn key clean mode on
Clean mode
In a luminance key or linear key, you can enable the clean
mode. When the clean mode is on, the key source does not
affect the key fill, which is added unchanged to the
background. This improves the keyed image quality, but
means that the part of the key fill signal which is not to be
inserted must be completely black, or it will color the
background.
This mode is effective when using character generators,
which generate paired key source and key fill signals.
Note that in the following situations, the clean mode goes
off, and cannot be turned on.
• When the key type is a pattern key or chroma key
• When key inversion (Key Invert) is on
• When the Key Position function is on
• When fine key is on
• When the key fill is a matte
• When the key edge is anything other than normal
• When the key edge is normal, and soft edges are on
To turn clean mode on
