Setting the Chroma Key 
[CHROMA KEY]

Chroma keying is a function for removing a specified color 
range from one image and keying another image to the range.

The following diagram shows an example of the chroma 
key.

Key is specified 

by color on 

which the cursor 

is placed, and 

removed.

The [CHROMA KEY] menu is used to create a chroma key.

[CHROMA KEY] menu

button is pressed in the PATTERN area (

 page Vol.1-14) 

or the pattern of No. 62 is selected.
ME preview is automatically chosen, and the video to 
be keyed with the chroma key cursor is output from the

After selecting the number using the rotary 2 control, move 
the chroma key cursor on the preview image to the color 
(blue for example) to be removed using the joystick, and 
press the   key.
The numeric values of the stored color are displayed for R, 
G, and B, respectively, in the menu. (“---” appears when the 
color is not stored.)
The color can be stored any number of times by pressing 
the   key. However, the color data is overwritten each time 
it is stored.
To cancel the stored color, enter the selected number using 
the numeric keys while holding down the SHIFT key.

To set the chroma key in detail

The color density and range can be specified to designate 
more precise keying. 

Set [SLICE] of the selected color in the range of 0 to 255 
using the rotary 3 control.
The slice is set to specify the color density (saturation) in 
the area to be removed. For example, if you specify blue 
using the joystick, the setting value can be increased to 
remove only blue darker than the specified blue.

Set [SLOPE] of the selected color in the range of 0 to 15 
using the rotary 4 control.
The slope is set to specify the range (hue) of the color to 
be removed. For example, if you specify blue using the 
joystick, the setting value can be increased to remove only 
blue closest to the specified blue.

Set [K LEVEL] (transparency level of the key) in the range 
of 0 to 255 using the rotary 5 control.

 NOTE

The value set with the rotary 3 control is saved for each of the 
three key colors, while the value set with the rotary 5 control is 
applied to all stored colors.

The appearance of color blur can be diminished in the 
boundary area of the key.
