Rosco Digicomp HD Chroma Key Green Paint
This Rosco Chroma Key DigiComp is manufactured to produce a crisp, clean finish with clear foreground/background separation, resulting in little to no post-production work required. Providing excellent luminance and RGB values, this paint is ideal for professional green screen applications
Rosco Digicomp HD Digital Green Chroma Key Paint utilises the Rosco DigiComp® HD colour standards which are precisely manufactured for crisp, clean separation of the foreground/background in digital compositing – resulting in little or no post-production "touch-up" needed. Rosco DigiComp® HD paints are specially formulated to provide the proper luminance and RGB values for optimum operation of all digital compositing systems.
The precise formulation of the single-source pigments found in DigiComp HD paints produces a highly-specific spectral reflectance and high-gain reflectivity, which results in a bright, narrow bandwidth of green or blue that make it both simple to light and easy to key. DigiComp HD saves productions valuable post-production time because Visual Effects technicians spend less time rotoscoping and manipulating a dirty key caused by the spectral interference found in other generic or paint-store mixed formulations.

Easy Application
Rosco’s DigiComp HD formulations are ready for use straight out of the can and provide even coverage in two, easy-to-apply coats. DigiComp HD is intended for use on most porous surfaces, including: wood, wallboard, sheetrock, plaster and concrete. It is always recommended to properly clean, prime and prepare your surface before applying the DigiComp HD paints. Unprimed surfaces may result in uneven color-coverage. DigiComp HD paints can be applied using 3/8” nap roller or a spray gun. For full instructions on applications the Rosco guide can be found below:

Ultra-Flat Finish
All of Rosco’s keying paints, including DigiComp HD, are manufactured to have an ultra-flat finish, which means there is no sheen or gloss in the finish at all. It’s worth noting that the “flat” finishes available from paint or hardware stores will have some sheen to them when lit for camera – Rosco keying paints will not. This is important because any sheen/gloss in a green screen will appear as white or yellow on camera – not green – and may spoil your key.

DigiComp HD Surface Prep
Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dirt and grease. Prepare surfaces using an appropriate primer. If painting a new plaster surface, prime wall with a primer/sealer designed for raw plaster. For best results use DigiComp® HD over a white primer, such as Rosco Tough Prime White. Make sure the prime coat is adequate and that it results in a flat and even surface. Any blotchy areas or roller marks may bleed through and cause an uneven finish coat.
Application
Stir contents very well before and during use. Commercial shaking one day before use is recommended. Rosco DigiComp® HD paints come ready to use straight out of the can. Check your batch numbers. Different batches of paint may vary slightly in color. Combine different batch numbers together to maintain color consistency throughout your project. Using a 3/8” nap roller, apply in thin, even, uniform coats, with overlapping strokes - making sure to keep a wet edge. Change roller direction often to avoid patterns and streaking. An appropriate airless spray (HVLP recommended) system may also be used. Make sure to keep the nozzle of the sprayer equidistant from the surface during application.

Coverage
Approx. 300 sq. ft./US gal. (27 sq. m/US gal) Due to the nature of the bright pigments used, two coats of DigiComp® HD are recommended for even coverage.
Drying time
30 minutes to one hour, depending on temperature and humidity. Allow first coat to dry completely before applying the second coat.
