A chromakey is the removal of a color (or small color range) from one image to reveal another "behind" it.
When the phase of the chroma signal corresponds to the preprogrammed state or states associated with the background color(s) behind the principal subject, the signal from the alternate background is inserted in the composite signal and presented at the output.
When the phase of the chroma signal deviates from that associated with the background color(s) behind the principal subject, video associated with the principal subject is presented at the output.
A wideband chromakey switching signal is generated from lower bandwidth chrominance signals in a video signal by first conventionally generating a chromakey switching signal from these chrominance signals, and then detecting high frequency transition components in the corresponding luminance signal.
The function of the chromakey apparatus is to detect those portions of the foreground video signal which are highly saturated in the keying color and then, by means of an electronic switch, to replace such portions with corresponding portions of the background scene.
Transitions in the key signal are used to provide means for grating, through a first switch, those high frequency components of the corresponding luminance signal that occur during such transition periods, and means for inverting the slope of any such high frequency components that are of opposite polarity to the slope of the corresponding transition.
