	Keying
		In graphics[?], keying is an informal term for compositing two full frame images together, by discriminating the visual information into values of color and light.
		Chroma keys are done most commonly in front of a bluescreen or greenscreen, because those colors are easiest to avoid in clothing and flesh tones.
		A matte key uses three images: the two images that will be composited, and a fl-and-white third image that dictates the blending of the two, with white revealing one image, fl the other, and grey revealing a blend of the two together.

	Keying (graphics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In graphics and visual effects, keying is an informal term for compositing two full frame images together, by discriminating the visual information into values of color and light.
		A difference key uses a background plate of the scene that the foreground object is being keyed out of and the software then assesses the source video and any pixels that don't match the grid are obviously meant to be keyed out.
		A matte key uses three images: the two images that will be composited, and a fl-and-white third image (called "mask") that dictates the blending of the two, with white revealing one image, fl the other, and grey revealing a blend of the two together.

		And the use of a series of sprites to represent an object, for instance a number of different facings of a unit, allow the simulation of animation and action when they are drawn in sequence.
		The fundamental programming process for 2D graphics is the blit -- bit block transfer -- which is used to move the bit image of a sprite onto the display area.
		Finally, to provide a smooth transition of the display from frame to frame, graphics operations (primarily blits) are usually done to a back buffer, which is basically a working copy of the screen area.

	Color Keying in DirectX 8 Graphics
		The conversion to DirectX 8 Graphics from DirectDraw poses a few challenges, and one apparent stumbling block is the lack of direct support for color keys.
		The use of source color keying in DirectDraw was commonly used to draw sprites with transparent regions, by not drawing pixels of an application specified color when blitting a bitmap.
		Rather than supporting color keys, DirectX 8 Graphics relies on the use of a separate alpha channel in the source image to specify the amount of opacity / transparency of each pixel.

	Graphics Tablets .::OneVideo::.
		A graphics tablet (or digitizing tablet) is a computer peripheral device that allows for a relatively simple method of inputting hand-drawn graphics or art into a computer in real time.
		The final evolution in the graphics tablet is the pressure-sensitive pad.
		In these devices the X and Y grids are separated by a thin insulator, and when the pad is pressed the two wires come into contact at the pressure point.

	Keying - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word keying has a number of meanings:
		keying (telecommunications) is a form of modulation where the modulating signal takes one of two or more values at all times.
		keying (vandalism) is using a key to scratch the paint on car as a form of vandalism.

		Chroma Keying or texture transparency is the ability to recognize a key color within a texture map and make it transparent during the texture mapping process.
		Since not all objects are easily modeled with polygons, chroma keying is used to include complex objects in a scene as texture maps.
		In raster graphics architecture a primitive is formed by scan conversion where each scan line intersects the primitive at two ends, P left and P right.

		Some graphics systems do not use homogeneous coordinates; in these instances the z depth value can be used in lieu of the w coordinate, assuming that the z value is positively increasing into the screen.
		The Voodoo Graphics hardware allows the origin to be in the upper left or lower left corner of the screen.
		The Voodoo Graphics subsystem’s clipp ing window should not be used for general purpose primitive clipping; since clipped pixels are processed but discarded, proper geometric clipping should be done by the application for best performance.

	COMPOSITING SOFTWARE
		Until the digital era, compositing was nothing more than analog keying for the TV weather report and expensive matte work on film.

		It's fine for keying graphics and extremely well lit green screen footage in video track two and above.

		In a nutshell, chroma keying lets you replace a certain color in your video with an image or another video stream entirely (an effect commonly seen on the evening news, when the weatherman hovers over the computer graphics).
		Luminance keying is essentially the same thing, only it works on the fl-and-white portion of the signal instead of the color.
		It features 191 A/B wipe patterns, picture-in-picture, A/V fade, chroma and luminance key, and also sports a Scene Grabber that lets you grab a portion of a still or moving image from one video source and move it to another source.
