- ChromaKey's video output goes into Toaster's Input 1 through a time base corrector
- the background video to be keyed over is connected to Input 2
- ChromaKey's key output is connected to either Input 3 or 4
- the switches and the slider is bypassed, the key effect is controlled by the Switcher
- in the Switcher set the Program Bus to Video 1, the Preview Bus to Video 2, and the Overlay Bus to Input 3 or 4 (where ChromaKey's key out is connected)
