Abstract

A method is provided in one example and includes receiving a video input from a video source coupled to a display configured for rendering a user interface thereon; evaluating a plurality of pixels within the video input; and determining if a particular pixel within the pixels is associated with a color that matches a designated value associated with a chroma-key. If a match is found for the particular pixel, then the particular pixel is rendered as a clear image on the display, and if the match is not found, the particular pixel is darkened by a certain percentage.
