RECKEEN software release 1.7 is here !

After months of preparation and hard work of RECKEEN’s team we are happy to announce new software release for RECKEEN LITE, 3D Studio and 3DSPro.
With this update we are bringing you a wave of changes developed to better your workflow, heighten efficiency during broadcast, as well as to improve the ultimate quality of the productions.

Some key changes include:

  • AutoPlay and AutoCue – features providing you with more automated production process.
  • Improved management when using switcher
  • New chroma key characteristics – options for achieving more precise and detailed keying.

Full list of improvements can be founds below:

Workflow updates and changes: AutoPlay

Autoplay is a function that can be enabled on a chosen PGM Bus and it triggers automatic files’ playback from the beginning, when switching to that bus.

AutoPlay can also trigger playback of specific sources when they appear on air in Virtal Studio

AutoPlay for DSK triggers automatic files’ playback of media assigned to DSK, when bringing DSK to Program window.

Workflow updates and changes: AutoCue

AutoCue for inputs triggers an automatic transition to chosen PVW Bus after completing file playback.

AutoCue for Media triggers an automatic transition.

Workflow updates and changes: Clock for Media display

The clocks show the amount of time remaining until the end of playback of files chosen in Media and Still Trays. Last 5 seconds of playback are singled in red.

Workflow updates and changes: New trigger - General reset

When using media as CAM inputs, this trigger allows to synchronise media playbacks from all CAM inputs – starting the files simultaneously from the beginning. This feature comes especially useful for prerecorded interviews or a talks, filmed with multiple cameras at once.

Workflow updates and changes: Switcher management

Clicking on the sources on ABCD switcher automatically brings up corresponding Media Tray tabs on the right-hand side.

For a faster way to control application tabs they now remain on production screen at all times.

Workflow updates and changes: Pause option for Recording

Pause option for Recording allows pausing and resuming recording – captured material will be saved as one file.

Workflow updates and changes: “NO AUDIO” warning

Displayed warning about lack of audio during streaming or capture.

System improvements: Two-way Skype communication

You can easily add a view from Skype callers’ webcams or their screen shares as inputs. You can send Program Output signal to Skype, enabling the callers to see the view from RECKEEN’s virtual studio.

System improvements: New chroma key features

  1. Red-coloured Matte Control mask – helps achieving best transparency of the background
  2. Tolerance Correction – new tab with features allowing for detailed corrections of keying, and enhancing its precision.

System improvements: Opacity

Added slider in 3D Studio Editor allows change in opacity of any 2D or 3D object.

System improvements: Other

  • NDI update to its current version 4.5

  • Support for Windows 10 new version 1909

  • Support for updated version of Microsoft Paint 3D

Reckeen 3DSPRO now in a new 4K 60FPS version

Reckeen 3DSPRO – the latest generation of our pioneering 3D TV Studios line, now offers a new graphic card RADEON 5700 XT that allows the system to work in a 4K 60FPS format.

Radeon RX 5700 XT features new compute units, new instructions better suited for visual effects, and multi-level cache hierarchy for greatly reduced latency. For more technical information visit RADEON 5700 XT site.

Reckeen 3DSPRO is the only virtual studio system on the market offering 3D technology, technical specifications that meet the needs of the most demanding clients, professional standard and high quality, for only a fraction of a price of other similar solutions.

Our workstation is simple in use, and the system offers a lot of automation and simplification features. Wizards, presets and ready-to-use content let you create high-end programs in just a few simple steps.
Apart from 4K resolution, streaming functionality and a range of applications, Reckeen 3DSPRO offers advanced features like:

  • presenters’ and objects’ shadows and reflections,
  • virtual cameras offering full range of motions imitating the cameraman’s natural movements, giving you access to all areas of the set,
  • 3D animations – all objects in our studio can be animated, as well as 3D objects designed and animated outside of our system can be easily uploaded into our studio
  • NDI streaming technology, which enables compatible systems, devices, and applications to connect and communicate over IP to share videos, audio, and data.
  • The next version of 3DSPRO will support our new SMARTKEY functionality.

The release of the newest software supporting this format is planned for the end of September 2019.

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.

 

Reckeen 3D Studio, choose from 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI models

At present Reckeen 3D Studio is available in two versions – with 3G and 12G speed. Version with speed of 12G SDI allows you to record, play and upload video materials in Ultra HD quality – that means the quality is four times better than traditional HD 1080, providing video resolution of 3849 x 2160. Simultaneously, 12G SDI remains compatible with all the SDI equipment. This technology is also implemented in MVP-100.

Studio Reckeen is now also working in 4K format.

4K technology is a new standard for video images. The Reckeen system allows you to work in 4K resolution. This means operating the system’s one input and output in 2160p format, i.e. with a resolution of 3840×2160. In combination with excellent sound quality, picture 4K becomes a source of extremely realistic experience. The chroma and luma key also work in 4K format. You can choose from among 3 progressive scan operating modes, that is full frame frequency: p25, p29,97 and p30.

NDI Standard now in Reckeen system!

NDI, that is Network Device Interface. It is a standard that enables network communication by sending and receiving a high quality and low-delay audio and video signal. NewTek’s innovative Network Device Interface technology is a royalty-free standard enabling IP video workflow across Ethernet networks and represents the most prolific IP-based workflow in the industry. NDI is a trademark of NewTek, Inc. NDI makes reliable operation in a live production environment possible. When you use the NDI, you will be able to transmit and receive video signals through LAN or WI-FI.

ADB-100 – is a professional audio standard in your Reckeen Studio!

ADB-100 Audio Digital Box is a professional audio standard in your Reckeen Studio!

ADB-100 Audio Digital Box

ADB 100 module is designed for professional producers, yet it maintains a size of 1U and a price at a reasonable level. The device is equipped with professional inputs and connections with the highest AES / EBU signal quality (AES3), used mainly in studio technology.

ADB 100 works well at home, in the director’s room, in the studio, in the transmission car as well as on the stage. The richness of various analog and digital interfaces provides maximum flexibility and supports user productivity in the studio.

With ADB 100 your Reckeen Studio is enriched with the highest professional sound quality without any distortions.

CONNECTORS

ADB 100 module is designed for professional producers, yet it maintains a size of 1U and a price at a reasonable level. The device is equipped with professional inputs and connections with the highest AES / EBU signal quality (AES3), used mainly in studio technology.

AUDIOLINK

With its built-in Audio Link interfaces, this device can be installed directly in the studio as well as on the stage. The use of RJ 45 cable and Audio Link technology enables transferring all inputs and outputs stream to greater distances (with a single RJ45 cable). This enables you to separate a recording studio from a closed and acoustically insulated director’s room in which the Reckeen Studio 3D or Lite station is installed. The sound transferred digitally from ADB 100 device through RJ 45 connector maintains the highest quality and avoids noise.
