V-160HD: Can I import a PNG file that includes transparency data?
Yes. You can use the ALPHA KEY of DSK mode to cut out a still image using the alpha channel (the region of an image that contains transparency data) of a PNG file, and overlay that image on the background video as a composite.
- The alpha channel is ignored with PinP & Key.
From [MENU] -> “DSK 1” or “DSK 2” -> “DSK MODE,” select “ALPHA KEY” and then select a PNG file with alpha channel using STILL 1–16 of “DSK SOURCE.”
- See the related Q&A, “Loading a still image from a USB flash drive” for details on loading still image files.
