Ro Video Introduces Trackle Virtual Sets at IBC 05

Thursday, September 10th, 2015 [Amsterdam, The Netherlands] - Today, Ross Virtual Solutions announced that Ross Video will show Trackless Studio - a new virtual set software that works without camera tracking at this year's IBC show in Amsterdam. Built on top of the XPression Real-Time Motion Graphics System, this intuitive and cost-effective product brings virtual environments to a whole new set of customers.

Trackless Studio allows users to perform dramatic camera moves (crane or jib), utilize multiple cameras, perform transitions, add live inputs, trigger real-time 3D graphics, recall clips or still images, and create macros for complex events. It also uses stationary physical cameras, instead of encoded camera heads or optical tracking systems, with all movement handled by virtual cameras inside of the XPression scene.

Our goal is to have the most complete virtual solutions product line in the industry, so we've been working with our XPression Team for the last year and half to develop a solution that fits a different part of our market, explained Dave Larson, General Manager of Ross Virtual Solutions. Cost-conscious customers are still interested in using virtual, and Trackless Studio is the perfect way for them to get engaged while offering them an upgrade path to tracked implementations in the future.

Thanks to Ross Video's solutions-oriented strategy, Trackless Studio works well with other Ross products, including Carbonite switchers and Ross Dashboard control software. For example, the joystick on the Carbonite can be used to move virtual cameras, and Trackless Studio shows up as a supported device in Dashboard. Other methods of remote control are possible with the on-board web server and through optional X-Keys control panels.

Much like XPression, we were going for the easiest-to-use and most powerful product that we could produce, said Brian Olson, Director of Marketing Product Management for XPression. We want customers to have a great experience and create quality virtual productions, while staying on budget. Another important part of the equation is having great virtual content. Trackless Studio ships with 6 modern stock sets, along with the ability for customers to order custom sets. The big value-add is having Ross Video's experience with virtual sets and augmented reality at the highest levels of production to stand behind this newest entry into the trackless market.
