Reckeen LITE : Production module screen

After clicking on the LITE Production icon on the start screen, the main module of the system appears on the screen. It’s a kind of an executive center, where most of the Reckeen LITE system production functions are activated from.

The production screen area can be divided into five main areas, the same as the 3D Production version:

  1. Toolbar
  2. Multiview Panel (previews panel)
  3. Vision Mixer (production switcher)
  4. Virtual studio Configuration Panel
  5. Media trays

Areas described in points 1, 2, 3 and 5 are common to both systems: Reckeen 3D Studio and Reckeen LITE . These areas have already been described in the manual.

Control Panel VKEY 100 / external keyboard – V/C STUDIO: SET BUS A SOURCE

With this feature, you can set a signal source A in your studio. The function operates on line A buttons on an additional panel in the lower left corner of the screen. On this panel, you can select A, B, C and D signal sources for your studio.

Select a source from a drop-down list in the V/C Studio Stream field. When you press a key with V/C Studio: Set Bus A Source function assigned, a button with the selected source will light up on the panel.

Image shows a selected source: Camera1.

  • The active CAM1 button is backlit on the panel.
  • V/C Studio: Set Bus B Source function allows you to set a source for the line B,
  • V/C Studio: Set Bus C Source function – a source for line C and consequently,
  • V/C Studio: Set Bus D Source function – for line D.

Control Panel VKEY 100 / external keyboard – V/C STUDIO: SELECT CAMERA

This function is used to enable a particular camera shot. First, select a virtual cameraman (V/C1 to V/C4) in the V/C Unit field. Later, select a shot’s index (1 to 15) in the Camera field and then, select a type of a virtual camera movement in the V/C Transition field. Should the camera move around the studio in a linear fashion: Linear or in a curved one: Curved (real dynamic). The last value to set is a speed of the virtual camera motion in 3D studio – in the Speed field.

Note that, for this function to be executed, image from this virtual camera V/C has to be on the air, that is on the PROGRAM screen.

Let’s assume that a virtual cameraman V/C1 is in a certain position in the studio (e.g. SHOT 1). When you are programming a Trigger for this V/C1 cameraman, the camera moves (Linear or Curved) to SHOT 2 at an indicated speed after the KeyF is activated. The image below.

This way you can design a path a camera moves along. To Key F1 you can assign V/C 1 cameraman’s movement to SHOT 2, make a close-up to the presenter (talent), to Key F2 you can assign V/C 1 cameraman’s movement to SHOT 3 and so on.

This function has one more important feature. Typically, during production, when you go through consecutive shots of a virtual camera, they all have the same transition speed and Linear or Curved (real dynamic) type set. However, a camera movement programmed with V/C Studio: Select Camera function can have any speed and movement type set. Therefore, the camera path composed of sequences triggered by F keys can have different transition speed and type parameters in each part of motion.

Control Panel VKEY 100 / external keyboard -OUTPUT: SELECT PROGRAM

With this feature you can choose what is to be visible on the Program screen after pressing a function key. Select a source from the drop-down list in the Output Media field. This function operates on the upper line (Bus) of the video mixer’s PRG (Program) buttons. The active button is backlit in red. When you press a key with Output: Select Program function assigned, a button with the selected source will light up red.
