This feature can be used to have the PiP window display a static or dynamic logo for example which will appear on a transparent background To apply the luma keying feature first set the PiP window to the desired size and location and then turn luma keying On The PiP image will show without its background The lower the luminance in the PIP window the more transparent it becomes thus letting the main window image show The higher the luminance the less transparent it becomes not letting the main window show through To use this feature it is recommended to set the PIP image as follows use low luminance colors for the background the key image portion and high luminance colors for the logo For certain displays the screen may flicker once for about a second after activating or changing the luma keying setting We recommend that you activate luma keying after completing the setup When the luma keying feature is On any change in the setup either by the user or by resetting due to a setup change may cause the screen to flicker once The luma keying will recover automatically after resetting VP 771 The OSD Menu at 6 8 2 The Emergency Alert System The Emergency Alert System EAS is a unique versatile feature for immediate text overlaying with flexible options such as the inclusion of an audio alert siren and the choice of displaying an emergency notification via either a text crawler or a text window The E
