DSK CHANNELS
FIGURE 7 (TC1 SHOWN)
DSK layers support downstream overlays (M/E Keys are upstream overlays, i.e., ahead of the main Switcher).
• Display DSK channels independently, and swap them during a switch with custom transitions.
• Use Media Players to overlay title pages, including scrolls, crawls and lower-thirds, or assign a
Camera feed or Network source to an overlay channel.
• Alternatively, use the Buffer channels to assign a specific title, still image or animation effect to any
overlay channel.
• Independent Crop, Position, 3D Rotation, and Scale controls for each DSK channel permit you (for
example) to configure multiple sources as ‘Picture in Picture’ elements, revealing them with
individual custom effects.

FIGURE 8
Color-coded M/E (Mix/Effect) banks provide stunning effects.
These include secondary video mixing capabilities, switching (with traditional wipes or Animation Store
transitions with TransWarp capabilities), full alpha channel support and best in class LiveMatte™ real-time
keying technology for green/blue screen effects, jaw-dropping dynamic virtual sets, and much more.
Each M/E bank supports:
• Up to four (varies by model) primary video sources per effect.
• KEY (overlay) channels with individual transition capabilities.
• Sub-mix functionality, with individual transitions for A/B Background layers and KEY channels.
• Individual Scale, Position, Crop and Rotation controls and motion Tracker support for all channels.
• Powerful Comp (composition) preset features let you animate layer and overlay position, rotation
and other attributes in full motion.
• Convenient MEM system allows instant access to pre-configured M/E setups.
