Virtual Sets
What are Virtual
Sets?
Virtual sets can be as simple as a photo with the host or anchor keyed over the
background. This can also be quite elaborate, with the talent interacting with
the room’s environment, such as reflections across the floor or desk. Virtual
sets can be a post-production process, where recorded footage of the talent is
rendered into the room, but this is very time intensive, having to shoot and
then composite each shot.
How do live
virtual sets differ?
While several companies offer software packages providing virtual sets as a
post-production tool, the realm of live virtual sets has typically been quite
expensive, with systems costing $50,000 and more, depending on the amount of
specialized hardware required. TriCaster STUDIO provides portable, live
production, and allows all six inputs to have its own camera angle in the room.
Like most virtual set systems, you can cut between angles, but STUDIO lets you
fade or perform 3D transitions between angles. NewTek has dramatically improved
your access to affordable virtual sets with TriCaster STUDIO™. Unlike simpler
live solutions, STUDIO brings realism into your virtual set with reflections,
video walls, refracted glass and more – in real-time.
Why are live Virtual Sets important?
Cue the talent and broadcast your show. Virtual Sets give you the flexibility to
use expansive, professional sets and even though your location may have limited
space. The scaling capabilities within TriCaster STUDIO let you push the talent
into a wide-shot without trucking to the back of the room. This boosts
production quality without requiring a sound stage and floor staff. The
explosion of Internet TV means viewers are going to expect higher production
quality to keep their attention. TriCaster STUDIO lets you stream live, to a
worldwide audience.
SAVE TIME
Get it done now. Shoot for air, not for rendering later with STUDIO’s live
virtual sets. This gives your talent the opportunity to interact with virtual
monitors and desks. Shooting in different studios no longer requires lengthy
set-up and re-lighting. TriCaster STUDIO sets are all designed to operate from
the same camera and lighting angles. This small, 16-pound box contains
everything you’ll find in a TV live truck: switcher, titler, keyer, audio
mixer, VCRs and more. This makes TriCaster field setup a snap. With all cameras
having time-base correction and proc-amp adjustment, you can be show-ready in
minutes.
SAVE SPACE
Sound stages, in use since the days of silent film, are ideal places to set up,
construct and shoot expansive newsrooms and show studios, but many producers are
forced to shoot within much smaller spaces. TriCaster STUDIO’s integrated
garbage mattes allow you to cleanly isolate your talent, regardless of
peripheral clutter.
SAVE MONEY
In case your facility lacks a tape room and router to assign clip playback to
your video wall and the plasma monitor behind your desk…
Oh. You don’t have any of those? No
problem. TriCaster STUDIO realistically inserts your talent into that
environment without the construction costs or additional electronics purchases.
Integrated clip playback in STUDIO’s
dual VCRs means the technical director can effortlessly roll in produced
segments without having to hire a videotape operator.
