1. Basic operations

[FineTuning]

In this mode, detailed images can be adjusted.

1On the Chroma Key menu, use [F1] to display the Sample sub menu.

2Use [F2] to select “Composite” using the View item.

3Use [F3] to select “FineTuning” using the Mode item.

4Using the positioner, move the position of the sample marker to the position to be sampled.

To change the size of the sample marker, turn the rotary encoder [Z].

5If the sample area that has been set is acceptable, press the rotary encoder [Z].

6On the Chroma Key menu, use [F1] to display the Fine Tuning sub menu.

7Use [F2] to remove or restore the noise using the Spill item.

When it is turned clockwise, a large amount of noise is removed from the foreground image, and the image colors increasingly approach the complementary color (opposite color) of the blue screen.

When it is turned counterclockwise, the image colors approach the colors of the original foreground image.

8By turning [F3] clockwise, the matte of the colors closely resembling the colors of the foreground image can be adjusted using the Trans item.

This is useful when, for instance, areas covered with dark smoke or clouds in a foreground image are to be made semi-transparent.

9By turning [F4] clockwise, the matte information for the colors closely resembling the colors of the background image can be adjusted using the Detail item.

This is useful when, for instance, restoring the details of an image (such as an image with a subject who has loose hair or an image with smoke), which have been lost in the foreground image as a result of sampling, to what they were in the original image.

Step 6

Finely adjust the chroma key signals which have been generated.

1On the Chroma Key menu, use [F1] to display the Adjust sub menu.

2Use [F2], and adjust the width of the chroma key signals using the Narrow item.

The key signal width can be adjusted horizontally in 0.5 (half-pixel) increments.

3Use [F3], and adjust the horizontal phase of the chroma key signals using the Phase item.

The key signal position can be moved horizontally in 0.5 (half-pixel) increments.
