Color Background
The dedicated generators generate color signals, and you can use these as color
backgrounds in video effects. You use the color signals by assigning them to
cross-point buttons.
Color combinations (“color mix”)
The color generators can output the result of combining two colors, which are
color 1 and color 2.
Using a pattern from a dedicated pattern generator, color 1 and color 2 can be
combined in the boundary region, forming a color gradation. This is referred to
in the menu system as “color mix.”
You can also apply modifiers to the selected pattern.
When the “color mix” function is not used, the result is a flat color, and color
1 is always output.
You carry out color background settings in the Color Bkgd menu. This section
describes the settings menu for color background 1 as an example.
