Cha
Background mask: This masks out a part of the background, which will result 
in the key fill appearing.
Main mask and subsidiary (“sub”) mask
Each keyer allows two masks to be used simultaneously, and these are referred 
to as the main mask and the sub mask. The signal that determines the mask 
shape and size is termed the mask source, and different sources are used for the 
main mask and sub mask.
Main mask: This uses the signal from the dedicated box generator provided 
on each keyer, or the signal from the dedicated pattern generator as the 
mask source.
When the box generator is selected, a rectangular mask is formed. You can 
adjust the positions of the four sides of the box separately.
When the pattern generator is selected, you can select the pattern and apply 
modifiers.
Sub mask: This uses the wipe generator signal or the signal selected on the 
utility 1 bus, as the mask source.
When the wipe generator is selected, the patterns and the pattern modifiers 
are the same as in a wipe transition.
Key Memory
The key memory function allows the keyer settings on each cross-point button 
to be automatically stored, so that the next time the same cross-point button is 
selected these settings are recalled automatically.
There are two modes for key memory: simple mode and full mode. 
The parameters stored in each mode are as follows.
Simple mode: key type, clean mode (including the plane setting for chroma 
keying), key position, key inversion, and adjustment values for the 
particular key type (Clip, Gain, Density, Filter, etc. This includes color 
vector key, wipe pattern key, key wipe pattern key, and chroma key. 
However, in the case of a chroma key, it excludes color cancel, Y balance, 
foreground CCR, window, and shadow.)
