Chapter 1 Overview
The TVS-2000A is a computer-based 3D Tracking Virtual Studio System. It is a real-time
production system with very high quality live chromakeying.
The TVS-2000A uses two live cameras to create virtual cameras. This allows the director to
zoom, pan and tilt the camera virtually within the set.
Furthermore, with two camera inputs and two keyers, the TVS-2000A gives the user the
capability to place two talents on one virtualset. The TVS-2000A can also be used in a remote
scenario whereby the images captured by the two cameras at two different sites are placed
on one single virtualset.
Also Integrated into the system are tools to record the program output, broadcast live
program and stream video over the Internet.

2.5 RMC-280 Remote Controller
The RMC-280 is a cost effective remote controller designed specifically for the TVS-2000A
Virtual Studio System. The RMC-280 interfaces with the TVS-2000A Virtual Studio System via
an RS-232 interface. The RMC-280 gives the user switcher-style control of the TVS-2000A
Virtual Studio System. There are several effects that the user can also control on the RMC-280,
such as downstream keyers (DSK) and transition effects. In addition, the T-Bar gives the user
the convenience to perform transitions between Preview (PVW) and Program (PGM).
The RMC-280 has also been equipped with 10 function keys, which provide the user with the
flexibility of manually assigning functions related to audio features, downstream keyer, delay,
media player functions and output effects to the 10 keys.
The features are summarized as follows:
• A switcher style keyboard for direct TVS-2000A operation
• Clear key definitions
