Y balance
In a chroma key, the key signal is created based on the
chrominance component only, and all elements of the
foreground with the same hue are replaced by the
background.
When the Y balance function is enabled, you can specify
only those portions of a particular luminance that will be
replaced by the background, even if the hue is the same.
When applied to the key signal for chroma key
composition, this produces a foreground with color
cancel applied state. This can be used to provide an
impression of smoke.
When applied to the color cancel key, the corresponding
part is visible in its original color without being removed,
and therefore it is possible to combine colors which are
the same color as the background (blue background, for
example) in the foreground.
Shadow
When the shadow function is enabled, the shadow of the
subject projected on the background (blue background,
for example) from the foreground appears more natural.
Since the parts of the blue background darker than a
specified intensity are treated as shadows, there is no
effect on cutting out of the foreground.
Foreground color correction
You can adjust the hue of the foreground and the gain of
the video signal/luminance signal/chrominance signal.
