Foreground Balance
This control moves the acceptance window of the FG
suppressor circuitry about the selected backdrop hue. This
control is useful when the FG objects contain colours close
to the backdrop colour and so can help minimise
desaturation of some FG colours while maintaining good
backdrop colour suppression.
Foreground Tints
This control allows areas of the foreground that contain low
saturation levels of the backing colour to be passed without
being suppressed.
Background Saturation
This control helps compensate for a poorly saturated camera
output in FG backdrop areas. Ideally, a well lit backdrop
would produce a 100% saturated colour output from the
camera; but this is rarely the case. While monitoring the
output key and with max clip set to 100, adjust this control to
provide an even and low noise key in the backdrop area. The
max clip control can then be adjusted to amplify the key to
full level. This control is automatically set by quick setup.
Shadow Density
This control changes the appearance of shadows. Increasing
the value of this control will make shadows appear more
prominent and decreasing less prominent.

Filters
Ring Suppression
This control helps minimise ringing introduced by the
camera.
Noise Reduction
This control adds a variable amount of filtering to the
Background key signal to help minimise noise while
maintaining fine edge detail.
Edge Softening
This control adds a variable amount of filtering to the
Background key signal to smooth jagged edges caused by
high levels of key gain and to minimise noise.

Main/Aux Outputs
