VS2000
Real Time 3D Virtual Set

Darim's VS2000 is today's most powerful turnkey solution for rapidly creating stunning live Broadcasts with 3D virtual sets. The VS2000 provides the keying of live actors or video feeds combined with full 3D to produce live studio broadcasts at a fraction of the cost.

VS2000is a trackless virtual set creation system. VS2000 does not require any expensive camera motion trackers that allow other systems to emulate virtual camera movements and zooming. Instead, the VS2000 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. This enables users to dramatically reduce the size of their studio thus saving big on the backdrop material and lighting and eliminate the need to build "hard sets" altogether.

VS2000 uses multi-channel color keying hardware and software. The unique real time color keying module included in all models of VS2000 may not look as sophisticated as some of the competitors' models. Nevertheless, it performs extremely well even with non-professional video equipment (e.g. a consumer DV camera connected using S-Video cable) and imperfect background or lighting. The keying algorithm does not get confused by translucent or ultra-fine objects, smoke or shadows. And the best of all, the color keying software has been made amazingly easy to use by hiding all complex calculations behind a single "Build Key" button. Lastly, in a few special cases when the automatic keying may not be desired, advanced users will be able to manually tweak keying parameters using the special control panel as required.
