Note:

When using CPT-370 for overlay, it will automatically turn your underscan PC picture into overscan to avoid the black perimeter associated with all underscan picture to be imposed onto the resultant Video output.

Because most PC screens are underscan, which leaving a black margin on the four edges of the screen. When using the blue background keying, this black perimeter can not be keyed away, therefore will be superimposed onto the video input and resulted in a black-frame surrounded the overlayed video output.

CPT-370 has automatically turned your PC picture into overscan to eliminate this black perimeter.
