  • Page 113 Three chip/Three sensor camera We strongly recommend the use of a three chip or three sensor camera for Chroma Key shooting. If the camera has three chips or sensors then this usually means good colour separation within the camera. The optics on these cameras are usually better too. The extra image clarity and the good colour separation help improve the quality of the subsequent keying with the camera’s output.
