RT-SET rewrites
the Virtual Studio Rule Book
New York, NY RT-NET, the new media division of RT-SET (Real Time Synthesized
Entertainment Technology) Ltd, (Neuer Markt: RTZ), a world leading provider
of fully integrated broadcast graphics solutions, announces the inca
Internet virtual studio systems. These new products are set to revolutionise
the streaming media web-cast industry with the use of PC-based solutions.
RT-NET was formed in anticipation of the acquisition of Evans & Sutherland's
Digital Video Division in March 2000, and aims to provide cost effective
turnkey Internet virtual studio web-cast graphics solutions running
on a PC platform with Windows interface.
The inca range from RT-NET brings tomorrow's solutions today, giving
the Internet broadband web-caster broadcast quality now. Inspiring a
fundamental change in the marketplace these systems will establish a
new benchmark for price and performance as well as provide a solution
to the issues of system redundancy.
The inca range will offer remote location based net-casting and broadcast
quality graphics in real-time, allowing live performance over the Internet
with a significant cut in traditional studio production costs. Benefits
include reduced use of post-production as well as a reduction of studio
production costs. Additionally, multiple programs can be produced out
of the same studio on the same day.
Gregory Petroff, VP New Media RT-SET, said, "The launch of
the inca range of products is a significant development in the streaming
media market as it offers broadband ready next generation webcasting
systems today. All inca products will be fully functioning virtual sets
for the Internet. We believe we are offering simply the best designed
windows interface, with a system architecture that allows for graphics
card upgrades throughout the lifetime of the product - a feature unique
to RT-NET."
Shlomo Nimrodi, RT-SET President and CEO, said, "The marketplace
for interactive web-cast video is expected to be the fastest growing
aspect of the net in the next five years. RT-NET, with its newly announced
inca product line is uniquely positioned to penetrate this market place."
Among the technologies incorporated into the new inca range are Intense
3D's WildcatÃ' 4210 3D graphics accelerator card that employs the industry's
first full dual-pipeline graphics architecture to deliver intense, real-time
performance for professional 3D graphics applications such as digital
content creation and web-cast. The Wildcat 4210 enables seamless synchronization
of multiple sources of animation, video, and graphics with a pixel fill
rate and geometry performance that makes it ideal for virtual sets.
The open architecture of the new inca systems provides complete integration
with a choice of options, including tracking systems, DV cameras, pedestals,
and PCs, providing a wide number of combinations depending on budget
and applications.
The inca products will initially be offered in two distinct packages
to satisfy the current demand for streaming media content production:
inca 2100: Entry level system. Includes one output channel, and supports
one tracked camera and three fixed cameras, or, from one to four non-tracked
cameras. inca 2300: Includes two output channels, which allows "preview"
capability. Supports one or two tracked cameras, plus non-tracked cameras.
Supports effects between cameras.
