Using the Color Map Preview in Basic Mode
Adjusting a Chroma Key can be difficult when looking at the actual video signals as some adjustments
have very subtle effect on the image. Using a Color Map preview gives you a visual representation of
the various parts of your Chroma Key and makes for easier adjustments. The Color Map preview uses
the Preview monitor to show a representation of the different UltraChrome regions. The Preview
monitor will display the representation in the foreground of the Preview, but not over top of the
Preview Overlay, while the feature is set to
On
.
The Color Map Preview, when in Basic Mode, shows the three different colored regions that represent
the elements that the UltraChrome Chroma Keyer breaks an image into. The following table
summarizes this breakdown.
Use the following procedure to display the Color Map Preview in Basic Mode:
1. Create an UltraChrome Chroma Key as described in the section “ Creating an
UltraChrome Chroma Key in Basic Mode ” on page 7-14.
2. Ensure the UltraChrome Parameters Menu is displayed.
