Chroma Key Backgrounds

At Markertek, we carry chroma key backgrounds for all your production needs, including live broadcasting and special effects.

We're proud to carry chroma key screens from respected brands like Westcott, Lastolite, and Rosco.

What is Chromakey?

Also known as "color keying", chromakey is a visual effects technique that isolates a specific color from your video clips. The most common and well-known color is green, but chroma key screens can be another color (like blue) depending on the application. The technique is fairly straightforward, but it's still a popular option for productions that need to place the subject in another setting.

How Does Chromakey Work?

Essentially, chromakey selects a limited color range and makes it transparent, so that it can be replaced with another image or video clip. This allows a newsroom to showcase statistics for a breaking story, or a film production to place their lead actor in a detailed CG world.

With a chroma green screen like the Westcott 132, you can easily shoot groups and portraits without worrying about the final result. The wrinkle-resistant fabric has a matte finish that doesn't reflect light, while also being machine washable and designed to last.
