color cancel effect applied. This can therefore be used to
provide an impression of smoke, for example.
When the Y balance function is applied to the color cancel
key, the relevant part is output in its original color without
canceling, and therefore it is possible to combine colors
which are the same color as the background (i.e. typically
blue) in the foreground.
Video signal adjustment
You can vary the foreground signal gain, or change the
hue. There are separate adjustments for the gain of the
overall video signal, and Y and C components.
Making auto chroma key adjustments
Auto chroma key is an automatic adjustment function
which allows you to specify a part of the foreground video
