Monarch Virtuoso™ 2000HD is a trackless 3D virtual set system with a simple set-up and an intuitive user interface making it a very powerful tool in the hands of everyday operators.

The simplicity of Virtuoso™ 2000HD belies its power to deliver sparkling and sophisticated presentations, may it be news, talk shows, game shows and a myriad of other application possibilities.

Virtuoso™ 2000HD supports HD format

Virtuoso™ 2000HD is powered by 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 24 X 7 environment required by broadcast industry. Virtuoso™ 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 viewswhether you're shooting head-and-shoulder or full-body shots.

3D sets are an integral part of the Monarch Virtuoso™ virtual set system. Thanks to its powerful hardware engine, Virtuoso™ 2000HD is able to render complex 3D scenes in Real-Time delivering astonishing photo realistic results.

Monarch Virtuoso™ system has multi levels of chroma key. 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™ 2000HD is designed for broadcast and professional applications and priced competitively. The Virtuoso™ system is an ideal Hardware and Software solution, for broadcast applications.

Virtuoso™ 500 is designed for broadcast and professional applications and priced competitively. The Virtuoso™ system is an ideal Hardware and Software solution, for broadcast applications.

Monarch Virtuoso™ 2000HD system will enhance your productions, and help deliver a sophisticated look to all genres of programs with quick set-up times, at an amazingly low-cost.

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.
