Color Background
The dedicated generators generate color signals, and these
can be used as color backgrounds in video effects.
Color background selection
There are two color backgrounds, color background 1 and
color background 2, which you use by assigning to cross-
point buttons.
Color mix
The color generators can output the result of combining
two colors (color 1 and color 2).
Using a pattern from a dedicated pattern generator, color 1
and color 2 can be combined in the boundary region,
forming a color gradation. This is referred to as “color mix.”
You can also apply modifiers to the selected pattern.
When the color mix function is not used, the result is a flat
color, and color 1 is always output.
You carry out color background settings in the Color Bkgd
menu.
This section describes settings for color background 1 as
an example.
