Introducing a New Weapon in Your Key Effects Arsenal!

Keyer FrameStore (KFS) offers increased functionality and expands your ability to create innovative key effects. Creating chromakey effects on the Switcher Card has been the standard in GlobeCaster since its introduction more than 10 years ago. The quality of the generated effects has always been outstanding — but users were limited in the types of effects that
they could create.

Keyer FrameStore (KFS) represents a tremendous upgrade opportunity for GlobeCaster users — it offers a number of improvements, including:
• Virtual set panel with independent key settings and background stills
• Supports over-the-shoulder, picture-in-picture with live sources
• Ability to preview upcoming keyed sources
• Supports dissolves and animated wipe FX between keyed and non-keyed sources (requires 2 KFS cards if
going between keyed sources
