Features and benefits

Picture(s) In Picture(s) and Keyers

Chroma key example with french production switcher: select any color using the trackball and replace it with a background. As the VJX16-4 switcher features 4 independent video keyers, you no longer need an external keying device. A green background is no longer mandatory either: any colour can be used: just use the trackball to easily select a colour and instantly make it disappear, thanks to the fully adjustable Chroma, Luma and Color Keyers. Any other background image or video can then be inserted with exceptional quality: create a Web TV has never been that simple!
