Product Overview
Chromatte is a fabric designed for use as a background for chroma key production. Unlike conventional chroma key fabrics that are usually blue or green in color, in ambient light Chromatte is grey to the eye. The fabric contains millions of tiny glass beads that act as reflectors: when any light - such as the directional light from Reflecmedia's lens-mounted LiteRing – hits the fabric, it is returned on the same path back into the camera's lens. This retro-reflectice process means the camera 'sees' the apparently grey fabric as a perfectly even blue or green background.
Reflecmedia RM1123DM Chromatte Features:
- Lighting: The only light required to light Chromatte comes from the LiteRing.
- Ease of use: Quick, simple, effective and consistent.
- Portability: Reflecmedia's ChromaFlex takes thec hroma key shoot out of the studio.
- Adaptability: Chromatte drapes and panels can be custom manufactured to fit virtually any environment.
- Flexibility: Reflecmedia's LiteRing colour determines whether the production is shot against blue screen or green screen. Ifcircumstances change and the alternative colour is required, the LiteRing can simply be exchanged without any need for repainting or relighting.
- Space: Chromatte can be installed into the largest ofstudios or the smallest office – there is no 'spill' in a Chromatte installation.
- Time: Unlike conventional chroma key installations, installing Chromatte takes very little time, freeing up production time to concentrate on other elements like scene composition.
- Chromatte Drapes: Chromatte is available in a range of standard size or custom produced studio drapes, where the fabric is backed with a blacklight-proof drape and hemmed with eyelets across the top for easy hanging from studio track or rail.
- *All products conform to BS flame retardancy standard BS 5867: Part 2: 1980.
- Chromatte is very versatile. Due to the number of tiny glass beads in the fabric, the camera and LiteRing can move freely and work at acute angles – even when screwed into a ball, you can still key against Chromatte.
