VS2000 has received the Broadcast Engineering Magazine’s Pick Hit Award at NAB 2002. It is a trackless virtual set creation system which emulates virtual camera movements. It uses a practically unlimited number of virtual cameras that can be moved within the 3D graphics environment or zoomed in/out without an effort while the physical camera remains still. VS2000 is not limited to only using simple 2D images as a background or foreground around the live video of an actor, but operates with 3D mesh objects, materials, virtual lights, cameras and animation tracks created with 3D Studio MaxTM and MayaTM. This eliminates the need for users to build “hard sets” altogether and enables users to dramatically reduce the size of their studio, thus saving big on the backdrop material and lighting. The fact that VS2000 is easy to use also reduces the training time for operators, making it ideal for small to medium-sized studios of corporations and schools.
