The VT[5] system features live switching and web streaming of up to 24 cameras, and now includes LiveSet™, NewTek¹s revolutionary new live virtual set technology, VT[5] also includes advanced new keying capabilities, integrated SDI switching support and automated clip playback, with simultaneous output to video, projector and web stream. VT[5]¹s extensive HD post production capabilities include sophisticated real-time non-linear editing, video painting and a full-featured animated character generation package. VT[5]¹s real-time, uncompressed video processing with component and SDI output delivers unsurpassed video quality. The optional Serial Digital switcher adds an additional eight SDI inputs and SDI routing functionality to the new VT[5] system. VT[5] now includes LiveSet™ , a proprietary new technology that allows our customers to implement multi-channel virtual sets in a live environment with unprecedented realism and video quality,” said Dr. Andrew Cross, Executive Vice President of Software Engineering. “This groundbreaking technology, integrated into a live production environment, fundamentally changes the quality and the power of the tools available for video producers.” Live Virtual SetsNewTek's proprietary LiveSet™ system in VT[5], allows separate virtual sets to be assigned independently to all switcher inputs, including all cameras and DDRs. In addition, each input has an independent LiveMatte™ matting module eliminating the need for expensive hardware for each source connected to the system. Each virtual set supports virtual cameras with multiple angles and zoom levels with support for secondary video sources for on-set virtual monitors. All effects are rendered with unprecedented photo-realism, including reflections, refractions, shadows, bump maps, and sophisticated filtering. Additionally, the advanced new keying capabilities included in the LiveMatte technology allows refined preview of mattes that allow for the precise isolation of color, edge and spill for the sharpest possible results.

These questions and answers will be posted with full recognition. The postings will only be edited for improper usage. This is being done for fun in an effort to share knowledge about our industry. Q " When converting a project to DVD from Final Cut, then the DVD is encoded at format 4 x 3, 720 x 486, Then IT wants to scale it to 1028 x 786 and not stretch or loose quality. Should the convergence start at the output from Final Cut or should it have a scalar between the DVD player and encoding computer or some other piece of hardware or should it be outputted at HD 1028?" Paul A Paul, If you are being asked to play pack 16:9 then it should be produced at that, In order to take a 720x480 4:3 to that you are going to be forced to deform either in software and in your case I would use Motion since it sub pixel renders and Final Cut does not or use a high quality scalar but still the DVD should be produced in a 16:9 format to best fit the projection.format. When It comes down to if you are going to show it in HD then shoot it in HD because producing a SD DVD after the fact is much easier and better looking than taking a SD to scale video up to HD for display.
