We make our virtual
sets available in a broad number of formats
to accomodate almost any chromakeyer or
virtual set system on the market.
Figuring out what the right format for
you may be initially a little daunting
when you see all the formats that our
sets come in. These tables should help
sort out which format is right for you.
The first is the post production table,
this is where you bring your chromakeyed
footage into the computer and work with
it there, the second is the live production
table, where you see your composite happen
in realtime.
| Format |
Compatible Products |
| SD NLE (NTSC and PAL) |
This format can be used with just
about every nonlinear editor on the
market, it's short for Standard Definition
NonLinear Editors, NTSC and PAL being
different resolution formats that
are country specific. Some example
programs would be Apple Final Cut,
Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, GVG Edius,
but any NLE with a keyer should work.
Comes as 24 and 32 bit .tga files
with mattes for screens and desks.
|
| Ultra (NTSC and 2) |
This format is for Adobe's Ultra
product, the NTSC version is for standard
def and the 2 version is for HD (you
can use the NTSC version with Ultra
2). These do not contain camera track
shots but can be used to pan and zoom,
a little work needs to be done to
assemble the set but directions are
included. Comes as 24 and 32 bit .png
files with mattes for screens and
desks.

| 3D Studio MAX |

| Compositors |
In actuality this is 720p (1280x720)

to aim at compositing programs like

Eyeon Fusion, and Apple Motion. With
those programs (or other compositors)
you can pan and zoom on the high res
image and output an SD composite with
camera motion in it. Comes as 24 and
32 bit .tga files with mattes for
screens and desks.

| HD 1080 |
1920x1080, you can use this in your

out of your camera zoom in your compositing
program. Comes as 24 and 32 bit .tga
files with mattes for screens and
desks. |
