FLINT
V1.1
4.9.1 Virtual Sets
Another standard function of the Fluent Controls window is the ability to marry a
background image to a live input with a chromakey, this feature is called Virtual Sets.
Virtual Sets allow up to 8 different live inputs and the 2 clip stores to be married with a
static file, without using any of the resources of the Stills, CG or Logo stores. This
allows up to 8 different ‘angles’ for a set. Once a background is married with an input, it
may be selected on the Preview/Program/Source rows and used as any other input into
the switcher. Virtual Sets is a global attribute, which applies to all shows.
