TriCaster STUDIO 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.
