Chapter 1 Overview; Features - Datavideo TVS-1200A Instruction Manual

Chapter 1
The TVS-1200A is a computer-based 2D trackless Virtual Studio System. It is a real-time
production system with very high quality live chromakeying.
The TVS-1200A uses two fixed cameras and creates virtual cameras. This allows the director
to zoom, pan and tilt the camera virtually within the set. Its innovative Virtual Set Maker
enables users to create their own distinct, branded sets within minutes.
Furthermore, with two camera inputs and two keyers, the TVS-1200A gives the user the
capability to place two talents on one virtualset. The TVS-1200A can also be used in a remote
scenario whereby the images captured by the two cameras at two different sites are placed
on one single virtualset.
Also Integrated into the system are tools to record the program output, broadcast live and
stream over the Internet.
