Realtime RGB curve s control RGB curves control offers a fast, natural way to fine-tune the colors in your video. If, for
example, you want to remove a blue tint from your video, you simply drag the blue curve down. With RGB curves you can
also achieve wild color effects and other looks that are otherwise impossible.
· Realtime secondary color correction The secondary color corrector is an advanced tool used for fine-tuning or dramatic
effects creation. It offers all the controls found in the primary color correction filter with the added capability of limiting the effect
to a specific range of pixels. Pixel selection can be done using color and/or brightness. Using the simple garbage matte tool,
you can also limit the effect to a specific region. The pixel selection can also be inverted.
The secondary color corrector lets you achieve effects such as color pass and color replace. It can be used, for example, to
change the color of a dress, deepen the background sky color, or to achieve an effect similar to the film Schindler’s List where
only one object or person remains in color while the rest of the image becomes black and white.
· Realtime chroma and luma keying The Matrox RT.X2 platforms provide one of the finest realtime chroma keyers in the
industry. Clean blue- and green-screen keys are easy to achieve, even with DV and HDV material shot in less than optimal
lighting conditions. Your video is upsampled to 4:4:4:4 resolution and advanced noise reduction algorithms are used to ensure
superior results. The auto key button intelligently adjusts the key with soft edges, spill removal, and shadow preservation. If
needed, you can further refine the key with manual controls. You can key on any color, not just blue and green. You can also
invert the selection and display the matte being generated to fine tune the key.
