This hardware lets you view your key results as you shoot them, and record directly from it. No more wondering if your shot will work, you can adjust the lighting and make it right before you start. You can get the same results in DV as was only possible formerly with the "big shoots." It was used exactly once, and is still in its new shipping package, complete. I don't use chroma key at all, and would rather use the money on other things. This uint is in perfect shape.
