6.5.6 Color Key
Color key
Sometimes also called chroma key. This is a method of combining two video images. An example of chroma keying in
action is the nightly news person standing in front of a weather map. In reality, the person is standing in front of a blue
or green background and the camera image is mixed with a computer-generated weather map. This is how it works:
a TV camera is pointed at the person and fed along with the image of the weather map into a box. Inside the box, a
decision is made. Wherever it sees the blue or green background, it displays the weather map. Otherwise, it shows
the person. So, whenever the person moves around, the box figures out where he is, and displays the appropriate
image.
