In the world of streamers there is a tremendously useful accessory that helps make life easier for those who do not have a large room to broadcast live from. It’s about the green backgrounds, Green screen or chroma panels, a device that allows us to hide the background of the room to place a digital background to our liking. Do you know how they work? The people of Razer yes, and for that reason they have modified it to their liking.
A blue chroma key for green sets
The operation of these cloth backgrounds is as follows: the idea is to place a background of a very prominent color so that a software uses the webcam image and replaces that color with an image. Fluorescent green backgrounds are normally used, since it is not usually a color widely used in clothing and accessories, since, if we wear a t-shirt of the same color as the background, the software would confuse our garment and also modify it. .
But of course, brands like Razer use a green corporate color very similar to that typical of chroma screens, so anyone who uses their headphones or accessories and lets the brand’s logo be seen in front of the camera will create a digital hole that will give way to the background selected by software.
The brand has products such as its iskur chair or the famous Kraken Kitty Edition which has very visible green elements, and which would completely disappear if we used a green chroma key. For this reason, the brand has decided to launch a different chroma key with which to increase its range of products dedicated to streaming and solve this problem.
Razer BlueScreen
Featured at the Razer Con 2022this blue screen has a hydraulic folding system similar to the Green Screen by elgato (which we have been able to test and we find it especially comfortable), an extremely comfortable system that allows us to store the screen whenever we need it, avoiding problems of rolling up and annoying folding systems that end up giving headaches in the future.
with a size of 94 inches diagonal, the screen is priced at €159.99and you can buy it right now through the official Razer website, where it can be purchased exclusively.
Blue is not a Razer invention
Obviously that the screen is blue is not an invention of Razer now. Blue backgrounds are usually the second option when creating chromas in professional recordings, since, in cinema, when they need to record outdoors and in areas of vegetation, this is the color used to replace backgrounds and add CGI effects to the image. recording. So, in addition to using it in your setup, this blue background with a hydraulic folding system could be very useful for recording other scenes that require green colors in the main image.
