Chapter 1 Overview; Features - Datavideo TVS-1000A Instruction Manual

Chapter 1
The TVS-1000A is a computer-based 2D trackless Virtual Studio System. It is a real-time
production system with very high quality live chromakeying.
The TVS-1000A uses a single fixed camera 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.
Integrated into the system are tools to record the program output, broadcast live and stream
over the Internet.
