Broadcast Colors controls


    You can adjust the following controls for the Broadcast Colors effect:

    Broadcast Locale

    Specifies the type of broadcast standard you intend to use. NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) is the North American standard. It is also used in Japan. PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is used in most of Western Europe and South America.

    How to Make Color Safe

    Specifies the method of reducing the signal amplitude. Reduce Luminance reduces a pixel's brightness by moving it towards black. This is the default setting. Reduce Saturation moves the pixel toward a gray of similar brightness, making it less colorful. Key Out Unsafe makes unsafe pixels transparent and Key Out Safe makes safe pixels transparent.

    Maximum Signal

    Specifies the IRE unit level above which your layer's pixels are altered. The range is Amplitude (IRE) from 100 to 120 IRE. A level of 100 can affect a layer noticeably; a level of 120 is the maximum possible IRE and is risky. The default, 110 IRE units, is conservative.
