Features of the Model 1200
■ Depth option includes Layered mode that composites both
M/E keys onto the switcher Key output.

backgrounds using an external Grass Valley digital effects
system. (Requires Effects Send/Aux Output option.)
■ Borderline ® Key Edger option available for each keyer
includes borders, drop shadows, outlines, and extrusions.
■ Wipe/mask system includes twenty patterns with H and V
multiples and matte edge adjustable for width, softness, and
softness symmetry. Patterns can also be adjusted for position,
