Sensor-Less Virtual Studio System

VRCAM Series

Fully virtual or AR production with a single workstation

Playout with 3D CG is easy with the VRCAM software series. Simulated camerawork by virtual cameras has introduced more dynamic roles for fixed cameras. These systems also support content production and playout control using CG templates. Choose from the full-featured VRCAM-NX2, with NDI® and Unreal Engine support, or the economical VRCAM-Lite, an easy, NDI® compatible way to explore this technology.

Designed for Various Playout Control and Programming Needs

  • ● Programs with a specific flow: Use playlists to manage playout
    - Prepare playlists, then simply apply takes during programs to control the flow.
    - “Grouping function” assigns multiple events to a single button for smooth execution of serial operations.
    Example) 1. Move a virtual camera → 2. Wait one second → 3. Display graphics

  • ● Spontaneous programs: Use direct buttons to manage playout
    - For flexible management, add only essential functions to the direct button panel.
