What is the “Chroma-key” function for webcams? |
---|
The chroma-key function enables you to combine a desired color or image in a specific color area. An easy-to-understand example is the weather information screen displayed during TV weather forecast. In the TV weather forecast, we see a weather broadcaster standing in front of a large weather screen. In actuality, the broadcaster is standing in front of a blue or a green screen, and the weather information screen is combined in the screen area behind the broadcaster during the editing work.
