Kent State TV2 goes live with FMJ set

Full Mental Jacket donated a HiDef virtual set to Kent State TV2

from KSU site:

“From cameras to the video switcher to video outputs, everything is new,” declared Tim Muir, TV2 operations manager.
A 3-D virtual set – as against a standard set with a physical backdrop – has injected versatility to TV2’s shows. The set combines real people and objects in a computer-generated environment.
“Now we don’t have to move or tear anything down when doing different shows,” Muir said. “And it’s a lot easier to get the look we want.”
TV2 is among only a few student-run TV stations in the country that use virtual sets, Muir said. The station can now produce a vast array of graphics and backgrounds for different shows.
Orad, a company from Israel, constructed the set, which can be viewed here: http://www.fullmentaljacket.com/librarysets/news-c/. TV2 plans to lease out the studio to area production companies when it is not in use by JMC students, Muir said.
