Color Processing Adjustments
The Color Processor Adjustments allow color saturation, brightness, contrast and tint (NTSC only) to be adjusted for both the foreground (Cam-1 / Cam-2) and background images.
Keying Options
Green, Blue and Luma are the three keying options available. With the Chroma Key button switched on, the user can select the keying option to suit their needs.
Operation
This unit operates by utilizing two camera inputs with keying backgrounds (green, blue, black, white) and mixing it with the Background input featuring a pre-recorded tape from a VTR or a Still from capture.
