Optimization Adjustments

It is now time to optimize the keyer setups.

1.

If you are using an external analog key source such as RGB
from a camera, verify that the input timing is correct.
Temporarily turn on

FGD RESHAPE

in the

CHR KEY/

KEY ADJUST

, and look for unequal black lines at the left and

right sides of the foreground object.
Refer to “System Timing” in Section 2, Installation and Service
manual for adjustment details if necessary.

2.

Turn

FGD RESHAPE

off.

3.

Optimize the

CLIP

and

GAIN

. Refer to

Step 4

under Basic

Manual Adjustment on

page 4-38

, but do not start from

scratch settings. Remember, adjust

CLIP

first, then

GAIN

.

4.

Optimize

SELECTIVITY

to obtain as much foreground as

possible looking closely at areas which contain some blue
fringing (for example, hair or glass). Observing the

SHOW KEY

display may help this with adjustment.

5.

Optimize

CHROMA

background suppression to eliminate the

color of the background. Too much suppression results in the
background taking on its complementary color. If a vector
monitor is available, the correct adjustment places the
background “dot” in the center of the display. The initial
adjustment usually produces the correct setting, but it is
important to verify it now.

6.

Evaluate the Key and make the following adjustments
depending on the amount of lighting variation visible in the
background. Large lighting variations make luminance
background suppression difficult or impossible without
darkening the foreground.

Decrease the

LUMA

background suppression (on the panel)

and observe the Key in the picture and the waveform monitor.
As suppression is decreased, the background begins to
lighten. If the background shading does not remain relatively
