Thanks for your reply, got it to work on DSK and Chroma. Must say I prefer Chroma.

Hey Guys,
Hope you can help me here.
In a nutshell, what I’m trying to do is to hook up a Mac Pro to AV-HS400 switcher, mainly to use as a Live graphics machine for keyed lower thirds, logos etc. I will be using DVI output.

The bit where I’ve got lost – graphics software, output and keying methods. Let’s say I’m planning to use Boinx TV software outputting to a secondary monitor(switcher) through DVI connection. In this case, what keying method would you guys use on AV-HS400a switcher? I assume the easiest solution would be to output graphics with a green screen and then Chroma Key it using hs400? Please tell me I’m wrong.

Also, does anyone know either HS400a supports alpha channel for Live video or not? If yes, what’s the workaround? If not, what would be your advice on keying graphics from Motion, AE of FCP?

Cheers
Igor
