With TriCaster VSE, network style high definition (HD) virtual sets can be customized with logos, color schemes, furniture options, talent placement and more. TriCaster VSE will be showcased at SATIS, the business gathering for audiovisual professionals, 19-21 October 2010 in Paris Porte de Versailles, on stand 08, hall 7.3 and at Rhein-Main-Event at ZDF on 26+27 October 2010.
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 virtual set has been customized it is automatically saved for use in live production.
