Virtual Switcher Inputs and Live Virtual Sets

• Virtual Switcher inputs support multiple ‘mix/effects bus’-like preset compositions
• Populate multiple virtual inputs from a single camera source (and switch between them)
• Each source has Processing Amplifier, keying and alpha channel support
• Layer two live video or CG sources (internal or supplied by network)
• Independent zoom and pan controls for each source that make composition easy
• Add a third source as a dedicated overlay channel with independent transitions
• Optionally insert live video inputs into lifelike 3D live virtual sets with ease
• Zoom the virtual camera smoothly and easily (manual or automatic control)
• Presets provide quick convenient access to innumerable virtual input setups
