Features
VT[5] Feature Details
Live
°
Advanced NewTek LiveSet™ effects engine.
°
Complete, integrated virtual set system.
°
Multiple angle support.
°
Multiple focal-length support for each angle
°
Support for 2D and 3D transitions between virtual sets.
°
Virtual sets can be seen on Preview bus before taking them live.
°
Advanced (real-time) support for
°
Reflections.
°
Refractions.
°
Soft Shadows.
°
Over-the-shoulder shots.
°
Up to 24 simultaneous effects can be enabled (one for every switcher
input) and
transitions
can be applied between them.
°
LiveSet Constructor, a simple LiveSet creation tool is bundled with
VT[5] that allows you
to
create your own simple effects. This can create up-stream key graphics, virtual
sets, fixed
background
keys and more.
°
Live effects can be applied to any switcher input.
°
Effects with up to 4 video sources are possible (some restrictions
apply.)
°
VT[5] Switcher now has a third bus for upstream effects that allow you
select what video
sources
are being mapped onto the secondary video sources in input effects.

All elements of the keyer support the ability to preview their operation
to help locate any
errors
in the keying for perfect calibration. This isolates the color channel, edge
and spill
controls
for discrete adjustment
°
All key settings are stored per camera input so that different cameras
can be set up with
different
settings (just like procamp settings.)
°
Video transitions support aspect ratio where appropriate.
°
Switcher has 5 banks of DVEs, with a fade and 9 user-selectable DVEs per
bank
°
Real-time DV input has been rewritten to provide lower latency and
better guarantee of
