Kim mentions the possibility of doing Chroma Keying with a special device in
the future that would possibly fit into the specialized video slot of the
Amiga 2000. Ok...I ask you this much: What is your definition of Chroma Key?
I use the chroma key at a TV studio everyday, and it is part of the Master
Control in the TV control room. What good is having a chroma key without a
TV studio? I can't see any use of having a "Chroma Key Card" unless a person
wanted to stand in front of a green curtain (like I do when doing TV weather)
and have him/herself "superimposed" over the Amiga image. This would be very
difficult to do, and think of the cost of such a device. If it were to be a
professional chroma key, Commodore would have to do a better job at making
     
this great chroma key card than they did the Amiga Genlock. I've never
laughed harder than the day when we connected an Amiga Genlock to our Master
Control and it didn't work! Genlock...HA HA HA! And now a Chroma KEY? Oh, do
we all have a TV studio in our back yard? Think of the extreme vertical
market!
