Setting up the Background

This procedure enables you to set up the background as a matte color that can be used 
behind a PIP or Key.  

„

Use the following steps to set up a solid matte color as a background source:

1.  (Optional) To ensure that the full background is visible, clear any PIP, Key or 

LOGO from Program. 

2.  In the Layer Functions Section, press BG/DSK.  The button blinks and the BG/

DSK Input Setup Menu appears.   

3.  Scroll to the Mode line and select BG.    

4.  Scroll to the Type line and select MATTE.    

5.  Press {MATTE} to display the Background Matte Menu.  

6.  Adjust the Red, Green and Blue values as desired.  At this point, the selected 

color is the new background that you can use behind PIPs and Keys.

7.  Press {BACK} to return to the BG/DSK Input Setup Menu.

8.  Press {SAVE} to save the background input configuration.

This procedure enables you to set up the DVI source as the background layer.  The DVI 
source originates from an external computer or other external device.  

It is recommended that you perform these steps as a setup procedure.  However, once the 
DVI input is set, during live production you can switch the background between a Matte 
color, a still frame and a DVI source.

Please remember that the 

BG/DSK input is shared between BG and DSK.  If you elect to 

use a live DVI input as the background, it cannot be used as the DSK simultaneously.

Use the following steps to set up a DVI input as a background:

1.  (Optional) To ensure that the full background is visible, clear any PIP, Key, or

DSK Input Setup Menu appears.

4.  Scroll to the Mode line and select BG.    

5.  Scroll to the Type line and select DVI.    

6.  If required, press {FORCE ACQUIRE} to force the system to perform the optimum 

setup on the DVI input.  If the operation is successful, 

Format and Type should 

correctly reflect the characteristics of the incoming signal.

7.  If required, scroll to the Format line and manually set the resolution of the 

incoming source.  In Appendix A, refer to the “

“ 

section on page 129 for details on all available resolutions.

8.  If you manually selected a format in the previous step, press {SELECT FORMAT} 

to “accept” and activate the selection.
