Abstract

A chroma keying generator apparatus is disclosed having a monitor camera transmitting color signals to multipliers for separating a luminance signal from an image signal and amplifying same by selected gain levels, comparison circuits for comparing two color signals with pre-selected reference levels therefor having upper and lower limits and producing outputs denoting that the ratio of the color signal to the luminance signal for a given color falls within a pre-selected reference range, and a gate circuit which evaluates the outputs from the comparison circuits to produce pulses representing a logical '1' when the output is within the reference range and a logical '0' when the output is not within the reference range.
