M/E Keys and Downstream Keys
Two keys each are available on the M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank. The M/
E bank keys are called key 1 and key 2, and the PGM/PST bank keys are called
downstream key 1 and downstream key 2.
The downstream keys are also abbreviated as DSK1 and DSK2.
Inserting Text With a Luminance Key or Linear Key
A linear key is a type of luminance key, but with less variation in gain, allowing
more precise adjustment.
The following procedure shows how to set up key 1 on the M/E bank. The same
operations can be used with the other keys as well (key 2, and downstream keys
1 and 2).
