Vizrt Intros XR Set Express, Out-Of-The-Box Virtual Graphics Solution

Vizrt, a provider of software-defined visual storytelling solutions (#SDVS) today rolled out what it calls “the world’s first fully-equipped, virtual studio-in-a-box — XR Set Express. Simplicity is key for XR Set Express with pre-configured and pre-calibrated features enabling quick setup and instantaneous use.”

Features include:

• A ready to produce with, fully functional, scene
• Viz Arc control surface
• A Panasonic UE100 PTZ
• Pre-configured hardware and software
• Pre-calibrated lens and additional simplified lens settings

Daniel Url, Vizrt global head of product management, said: “XR Set Express ​​removes the operational complexity that a virtual studio can represent. We created XR Set Express to provide our world class Virtual Studio technology for organizations aiming for a great value, easy-to-operate system without compromising the quality of the production.

XR Set Express leverages Vizrt’s Virtual Studio capabilities alongside the connected workflows of NDI, the IP-video standard. NDI is used to enable video, tracking data and full control of the Panasonic UE100 PTZ camera through a single cable connection. Viz Arc provides intuitive and flexible control for studio setup and configuration. The company said: “Positioning of graphics, studio customization, auto-setting of the best keyer on the market, presetting desired camera positions and much more is now accomplished within a few clicks.”

The addition of a fully functional virtual scene, with its three main areas and pre-built AR graphics, provides users the ability to hit the ground running to tell engaging visual stories from day one. XR Set Express’ built-in flexibility allows users to still run any virtual studio created, in-house.

XR Set Express is part of the Extended Reality Suite, also available via Flexible Access.
