Virtual Studios
Another standard function of the Fluent Controls window is the ability to marry a
background image to a live input with a chromakey, this feature is called Virtual
Studios. Virtual Studios allows for up to 8 different angles, which can be assigned
to live inputs and the 2 clip stores to be married with a static file, without using any
of the resources of the Stills, CG or Logo stores. Each angle can then be saved
with up to 4 different moves, allowing for trackless virtual sets, as if a camera
operator was moving the camera. Once a background is married with an input, it
may be selected on the Preview/Program/Source rows and used as any other
input into the switcher. Virtual Studios is a global attribute which applies to all
shows, but can be turned on or off. All assignments and moves are saved in the
show for unlimited presets.
To activate angles:
