inserted) using the joystick.
Press the CENTER button to turn on, and the pattern 
position is set to the center. 
Press the HOLD button to turn on, and the joystick is 
fixed to the current position. 
NOTE
There are some patterns for which the position 
cannot be adjusted with the joystick.  
 For more information, refer to “List of Key 
Patterns” at the back of Volume 2.
For the patterns registered as direct patterns, the 
settings of the effects and position applied to each 
pattern are saved in memory and applied when the 
pattern is called next time (if [MODE] in the [SETUP] 
menu is set to [PRESET]). Any settings made for the 
patterns not registered as direct patterns are not 
saved in memory.

Set the pattern size (key size) using the rotary 
Z control.
If a specific key pattern is selected. press the 
ASPECT button to turn on, and the aspect ratio 
of the pattern can be temporarily changed with 
the ASPECT control. (When it is turned in the H 
direction, the width (horizontal) is increased; when 
it is turned in the V direction, the height (vertical) is 
increased). When the button is turned off, the aspect 
ratio returns to the value before change.
 For patterns to which the aspect change function 
can be applied, refer to “List of Key Patterns” at the 
back of Volume 2.

Volume 2.
 NOTE
You cannot use multi-strobe effects ( page Vol.2-15) and

Downstream Key (DSK)
DSK is an effect of inserting a key to the video to which 
effects have already been applied. 
The following diagram shows an example of the DSK.
To create DSK using material imported 
from PC
Input material such as characters created with a single 
color as a background on PC to the DVI-I IN connector, 
select the DVI-I input as key material for DSK (set [KEY] to 
[DVI-I] in the [DSK SOURCE] submenu of the [DSK FADE] 
menu), and you can insert a key onto video created by 
applying effects to an image taken with a camera.
It is also possible to embed other material as the key fill in 
the key extracted from the original material or apply effects 
such as SHADOW to the extracted key.
