Virtual Set Editor for HD TriCaster

At IBC  NewTek announced TriCaster™ Virtual Set Editor (originally known as Artisan), which enables TriCaster TCXD850 and TriCaster TCXD300 users to customize their high definition (HD) live virtual sets. Each NewTek TriCaster comes with network-style virtual sets developed using proprietary NewTek LiveSet™ technology. With TriCaster VSE, these network HD virtual sets can be customized with logos, color schemes, furniture options, talent placement and more

TriCaster VSE is accessed from the HD TriCaster control panel, using functions familiar to TriCaster users such as position, scale, rotation, color correction (brightness, hue, contrast and saturation), media browser for image selection, and the T-bar to set custom start and end points for zooms. Once a TriCaster HD virtual set has been customized, it is automatically saved for use in your live production.

"TriCaster users are creating and delivering extraordinary live content. Our goal is to make it even easier for them to customize their programming," said NewTek Executive Vice President of Engineering, Andrew Cross. "By adding NewTek TriCaster Virtual Set Editor to our HD TriCaster line, schools, broadcasters and independent producers can personalize their productions - easily and affordably."
NewTek TriCaster Virtual Set Editor provides the ability to:

• Change or insert logos
• Customize the "beginning" and "end" zoom, and pan positions
• Change the color of selected elements
• Change background images
• Switch background monitors on and off
• Switch furniture (including desks and other furniture options) on and off, allowing easy creation of standing sets
• Position and scale green screen area to accommodate multiple people whether sitting or standing
