Keying is a special filter that the TVS-1000A uses to remove a specific color (e.g. Green) from the
image by applying the filter to the input CAM. In this way, for example, talent on a green
backdrop can be placed on any virtual background after chromakeying is enabled. The TVS-
1000A system supports three keying modes: Chroma Key, Simple Chroma Key and Luma Key.
• Chroma Key Mode – This function enables the TVS-1000A to be used for chromakeying.
Camera input is fed with object on a green or blue backdrop. Background is generated by
PC or any other media sources.
• Simple Chroma Key Mode – This function enables TVS-1000A to be used for simple
chromakeying by performing quick settings of matte, shadow, despill and garbage mask.
• Luma Key Mode – This function enables the TVS-1000A to be used for luminance-based
keying. Camera input is fed with object on a black or white backdrop. Background is
generated by PC or any other media sources.
To ensure the best quality, the keying function has a number of parameters available for the user
to set the optimal keying. The subsections below outline the entire configuration process in
detail.
