Abstract: Virtual studios have been demonstrated at broadcast exhibitions since their first showing at IBC in 1994. They created an immediate impact because program producers were excited by both the technology and the potential for enhancing their own productions. Subsequent to the initial euphoria, it was soon realized that not only did these virtual studios require substantial amounts of computing power, but also needed a number of specialist staff to operate and design the virtual sets. Could a lower cost, simpler alternative be found? This paper will discuss the requirements for operating a low cost two-dimensional (2-D) virtual studio. It offers a ground-up approach on how virtual programs can be designed and produced, starting from a conventional studio or chroma-key facility. The vital components for any virtual studio will be introduced and described, as will the potential benefits of using a virtual set.
