Key Setting Operations Using Menus

When using an additive mix for chroma keying, the (typically blue) 
background parts of the foreground video must be converted to black. For this, 
use the color cancel function (see page 267).

In an additive mix, since no key is applied to the foreground, any variations in 
the (typically blue) background may appear in the composite image. To avoid 
this, a particular luminance level can be set for the (blue) background, and 
regions of lower luminance forcibly cut.
Use the following procedure.

In the Chroma Adjust menu, set [Plane] on.

Adjust the following parameter.

There are two ways of making chroma key adjustments: automatically, using 
the auto chroma key function, or manually, making individual adjustments 
such as color cancel adjustments and window adjustments.

Auto chroma key is an automatic adjustment function which allows you to 
specify a part of the foreground video (for example, the blue background color) 
and use it as a reference for creating the chroma key image.
Use the following procedure.

In the M/E-1>Key1 menu, select HF1 ‘Type,’ then select [Chroma] in the 
<Key Type> group.

Select [Chroma Adjust].

The Chroma Adjust menu appears.

Select [Sample Mark] in the <Auto> group.

The foreground video only appears on the monitor, with a white box-
shaped sample selector.
