Advantages of Virtual Set Technology
[Cost] Virtual hardware systems are more affordable now than even before. New GPUs (graphic prosessing units) have advanced to allow mid-range desktop units to run high end software fast and effeciently like never before. Also, small space requirements reduces studio overhead. Get an expensive, high-end look simply by selecting sets with huge video walls, elevators, rotating platforms and mechanical props like moving monitors and graphic panels. Virtual eliminates the need for a scenic staff, construction crew, or storage space. Your studio can be as small as 10’X15’ and appear huge on camera. The benefits of a virtual studio are guaranteed to maximize your investment for multi production capabilities.
[Flexibility] Change the software file and create an entirely different broadcast set within minutes! Add additional systems and multi-cast shared content with different branding and an entirely different set. From one virtual studio, you can simulaneously send information to other blue screen studios. Since all cables support a digital video signal, image quality remains intact and routing is simple. Shoot your talent in front of a blue screen and pipe the signal to multiple virtual systems. Add Real-time stats for sports, elections or weather and send to other virtual studios along with remote video.
[Shared Resources] One virtual system and blue screen studio and can support unlimited production environments. System hardware can also be used for editing and digital effects. This application is the ideal solution for many new merged network duopolies that need to re-package content on a daily basis.
