Unlike [Clean FG Noise] on the Sample sub menu, the color information is not changed in the process. With [Clean FG Noise], the colors of the selected parts are restored to their original colors but, with [Matte Sponge], only the semi-transparent keys are made matte (non-transparent) while the colors remain unchanged and the original colors are not restored. [Make FG Trans] In this mode, the transparency of areas with a low transparency in the foreground image is increased. This is useful when, for instance, areas covered with dark smoke or clouds in a foreground image are to be made semi-transparent. [Restore Detail] In this mode, the transparency of areas with a high transparency in the background image is reduced. This is useful when, for instance, restoring the details of an image (such as an image with a subject who has loose hair or an image with smoke), which have been lost as a result of a [Clean BG Noise] or other such operation on the Sample sub menu, to what they were in the original image.

Dot by Dot When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are input on a dot by dot (1 magnification) basis with no up-conversion. (This setting is only possible when the system format is 1080i.) In this mode, there is minimal deterioration in the image quality and, as such, the mode is used to combine SD format material using the PinP function. Up Convert When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are up-converted. Auto Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect. Furthermore, if SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format are input when HD is selected as the system format, they are up-converted.

Appendix (glossary) Defined below are the terms used in this manual. Word Explanation AB Bus system A bus control mode. By executing a transition, the A bus and B bus signals are output to the program images alternately. Ancillary Data The auxiliary data other than the video signals which is transmitted inside the data stream of the video serial interface. The data superimposed on the vertical blanking period is referred to as the V ancillary data (VANC). Aspect ratio The ratio between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of an image or screen. It is 16:9 for the HD format and 4:3 for the SD format. A spare bus which can be switched by signals other than the main line output signals. [Auxiliary Bus] The black burst signal. A full-screen black level composite signal which is used as the [Black burst] reference signal for gen-lock. Border The area or margin that is added to the edge of a wipe or key. Its width and color can be adjusted. The defocusing of the area around a border is referred to as the soft effect. Chroma key This refers to the function for creating the key signals based on the color information of the video signals and combining the keys. Clip The threshold level of the luminance when key signals are created from a key source. Color Background The signals which are output from the internal color generator and used as the background image. This refers to the effect where the display is instantly switched to the next image.

Appendix (glossary) Word Explanation A unit used for video signal levels. The setup level (black level) of the signals is expressed as 0 IRE, 7.5 IRE, etc. Key Edge The border or shadow added to the edges of keys. Key Fill The signal that uses key combination processing to fill in the areas left blank by the key signals. Key Gain A parameter which is used to adjust the amplitude of the key signals. Key Invert A function which inverts the key signals. Key Mask This is the function that specifies the area for key combination using the box pattern, etc. When only part of the area of the key signals is used, key combination is executed with the unnecessary area masked. Key Source The video signals for creating the key signals. Line Synchronizer A function to automatically adjust the input image signal phase to the horizontal synchronization reference signal phase. Linear Key The function which combines keys using monochrome key signals with gradations in its outlines as a reference. The brightness portion of the video signals. [Luminance] Luminance Key The function which creates key signals based on the luminance (brightness) information of the video signals to combine keys.

Appendix (glossary) Word Explanation Transition A function that switches from one image to another. Wipe, mix and other effects are available for the images during switching. Tri-level Sync The sync signal used for HD formats. Trimming This is the function that eliminates the unnecessary parts at the top, bottom, left and/or right of the images which are combined using the PinP function. Up Converter This is the function that converts material in the SD format into the HD format which yields a high resolution. Video Memory This is the memory in which the images (still images and moving images) with key signals can be stored. Wipe A video effect in which one image is gradually replaced by another as the boundary between the two is moved using a preselected pattern.
