Hot-swappable, removable modules • and power supplies in frames and Kayenne XL panels

Four full-function keyers per full • M/E, each with linear and luminance keying, wipes, and freeze-frame buffer, standard

Two assignable chroma keyers • standard per system. Optional chroma keyers are also assignable to any full-function keyer

Four linear/luminance downstream • keyers on half M/E

One iDPM channel per M/E • standard with planar transforms with perspective; remaining three iDPM channels optional as are 3D nonlinear, lighting and recursive effects

Four eDPM channels optional for • the 8 RU frame with re-entry of combined effects on any system keyer

SetDef option for up-, down-, or • cross-converting output formats

MatchDef option for up-, down-, or • cross-converting input formats
