  <p>AFAIK, the Chroma key happens in the vision mixer or something?; after the camera picked up the green colored cloth(?) then the vision mixer applies the CGI images to the video. </p>
  
  <p>Sorry for confusing you guys..
  This is a snapshot from a video about Chroma keying. Though the adjacent scenes doesn't tell exactly that what in this frame is a green screening too, I thought it is because of the video's topic.
  So, I need to know if this is possible? </p>

Comments.Text: I agree that the picture you have shows on set displays, not examples of chroma keying. On set displays are much more common than chroma keying for most news environments. However, if you were using chroma keying in a professional video environment, see below.
