Key Edge Generators are available for each keyer in
the switcher. The Borderline feature is implemented as a
mezzanine board that plugs onto the Keyer module of any M/E.
Each Borderline generator supports 1, 2, or 3 line wide borders for
border and outline modes and 1 to 6 line wide edges for shadow
and extrude modes. Fill within the key edges may be either video
or matte.
Secondary Wipe Generator
A Secondary Wipe Generator module provides a second pattern
for each of the M/E systems. Only one module is required for
enhancing all mix/effect systems.
