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 combinations ("color mix")
The color generators can output the result of combining
two colors, which are 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 in the menu
system 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 the settings menu for color
background 1 as an example.
