Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 is a trackless 3D virtual studio system which has 2 live camera inputs in SD-SD1 format. With Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 , you can change the way your channel looks On Air.

3D sets are an integral part of the Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 system. Thanks to its powerful hardware engine, Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 is able to render complex 3D scenes in Real-Time delivering astonishing photo realistic results.

The simplicity of Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 belies its power to deliver sparkling and sophisticated presentations, may it be news, talk shows, game shows and a myriad of other application possibilities.

Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 is powered by new iPASS technology to achieve optimum processing power. All inputs and outputs are now put in a separate break out box, outside the main system thus reducing the heat generation inside the server. This feature lends full stability in 24x7 working environment required by broadcast industry. Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 allows you to add virtual tilts, pans and zooms from a static camera in perfect sync with the 3D virtual set. You can create the illusion of multiple cameras with one stationary camera by coordinating multiple angles, such as wide, medium and close-up views- whether you're shooting head-and-shoulder or full-body shots.

Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 system has multi level chroma keyer. You can key and adjust chroma backgrounds with individual parameters, thus aiding the removal of shadows on backgrounds in a very efficient manner, and keeping the live images very sharp and artifact free.

Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 is designed for broadcast and professional applications and priced competitively. The Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 system is an ideal Hardware and Software solution for the broadcast industry.

Monarch Virtuoso™ 200 system will enhance your production, and help deliver a sophisticated look to all genres of programs with quick set-up times.

Virtual sets can be enhanced with reflections and shadows for real life features. These feature lend a more realistic and natural look to the live broadcast and production process while retaining a low cost environment.
