Chromatte is a fabric designed specifically for use as a background for chroma key production. Unlike conventional chroma key fabrics that are usually blue or green in colour, Chromatte is grey to the eye in ambient light. The fabric contains millions of tiny glass beads that act as reflectors, returning any light shone on them back to it's source.

By generating the background colour through a retro-reflective process Chromatte offers unrivalled benefits;

Lighting
The only light required to light Chromatte comes from the LiteRing.

Ease of use
Quick, simple, effective and achieves consistent results.

Portability
Reflecmedia's ChromaFlex takes the Chroma key shoot out of the studio.

Adaptability
Chromatte drapes and panels can be custom manufactured to fit almost any environments.

Flexibility
Reflecmedia's LiteRing colour determines whether the production is shot against blue screen or green screen. Should circumstances change and the alternative colour be required, the LiteRing can simply be exchanged. No need to repaint or relight.

Space
Chromatte can be installed into the largest of studios or the smallest office. There is no 'spill' in a Chromatte installation.

Time
Unlike conventional Chroma key installations, a Chromatte installation takes very little time, therefore allowing extra time to concentrate on lighting and composing the scene.

Chromatte is supplied in a range of standard size or custom produced studio drapes, where the fabric is backed with a black light-proof drape and hemmed with eyelets across the top for easy hanging from studio tracking or rail.

Ultimatte DV
World renowned for their broadcast products, Ultimatte have produced a keyer aimed at the DV market. With connectivity for composite, svideo and firewire signals for foreground, background and composite output, Ultimatte DV provides the solution to many users searching for a cost effective tool for live production.

Logical and simple to operate, Ultimatte DV offers the user unrivalled control over the matte parameters. Via a single monitor connection, the operator can quickly compare the input, the matte and the composite output. Internally generated test signals ensure the highest quality output is maintained. An internal frame store allows non synchronous signals to be combined (a big advantage as many DV cameras do not have genlock) and also enables the user to store a background frame in memory. The unit will also function as a transcoder enabling the user to convert between video formats. On location it can be used as a pre-visualisation tool, enabling the director and crew to evaluate the final composite, rather than seeing just the camera feed on a preview monitor.

Combined with Reflecmedia's products, Ultimatte DV provides the perfect chromakey solution for independent production companies, education users and budget conscious programme makers.
