Switcher Operation 

This section explains how to execute the BRS-200’s switcher functions. 

8-1) Outline 

�� 

Picture-in-Picture (PIP). 

�� 

This illustration shows the structure 

of the images to be switched or 

composed by video switching. 

Foreground video 

Background video 

The background video is an image before you apply an effect such as Wipe 

and Mix. This image disappears as the effect progresses. 


The foreground video is an image to be inserted by applying an effect such 

as Wipe or Mix. This image appears as the effect progresses and is switched 

with the background video. 

PIP (Picture-in-Picture) video 

The PIP video is an image to be placed over a background video (and a 

foreground video while the effect is being applied). 

DSK FILL (Downstream key fill) video 

�� 

DSK SOURCE (Downstream key source) video 

The DSK SOURCE video is an image to determine the area of a DSK fill video 

that is being composed. This is also referred to as a key. 

Program video 

The program video is an image output from the switcher after switching or 

composition has been applied.
