Broadcast Colors effect
The Broadcast Colors effect alters pixel color values to keep signal amplitudes within the range allowed for broadcast television.
Use the Key Out Unsafe and Key Out Safe settings for How To Make Color Safe to determine which portions of the image are affected by the Broadcast Colors effect at the current settings.
- Broadcast Locale
- The broadcast standard for your intended output. NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is the North American standard and is also used in Japan. PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is used in most of Western Europe and South America.

How to reduce signal amplitude:
- Reduce Luminance
- Reduces a pixel’s brightness by moving it toward black. This setting is the default.
- Reduce Saturation
- Moves the pixel’s color toward a gray of similar brightness, making the pixel less colorful. For the same IRE level, reducing saturation alters the image more noticeably than does reducing luminance.
- Maximum Signal
- The maximum amplitude of the signal in IRE units. A pixel with a magnitude above this value is altered. The default is 110. Lower values affect the image more noticeably; higher values are more risky.
