ULTRA
Chroma Key & Virtual Set Technology
We like this product! Serious Magic's ULTRA is a chroma key and virtual set breakthrough that
transforms chroma keying into an incredibly easy and practical tool for all
types of video producers. Imagine being able to quickly create highly realistic
background composites that are convincing in every detail, even from marginal
video sources.
Additionally, ULTRA makes sophisticated 3D virtual sets simple and
affordable. It includes a library of pre-rendered virtual sets and revolutionary
features like virtual camera moves and video reflections within virtual scenes.
Key features include:-
- Freedom - Use it in the field or studio with minimal set up. Great for full-body, talking-head and sit-down shots.
- Quality - High-quality vector keying technology, works with uneven lighting, wrinkled backdrops and even frizzy hair.
- Simplicity - The one-click Set Key feature allows fast set up. Better videos - less tweaking.
- Master Sets 1 - Includes library of virtual sets with multiple angles, animations and even virtual camera tracking.
- Compatibility - Reads and writes standard AVI or DV video clips from virtually any editing tool, from Avid to Adobe Premiere to Final Cut Pro.
Professional Results With Minimal Set-up
ULTRA now lets video producers use chroma keying in the field,
including less-than ideal environments like client offices and on-location events.
It's made possible by a new algorithm called Vector Keying, specifically designed
to compensate for keying nightmares, such as uneven lighting, wrinkled backdrops and frizzy hair.
From quick stand-ups to sit-down interviews, you can now do background replacement in less time than it takes to light one wall.
One-Click Key
ULTRA offers a One-Click Key feature for faster setup. Advanced controls, such as spill suppression,
colour restoration and edge softening can also be applied to fine tune composites.
ULTRA can even achieve complex keys featuring smoke, glass and liquids with minimal effort.

Pre-Rendered Virtual Sets
ULTRA includes a Master Library of professional 3D virtual sets and animated backgrounds to dramatically enhance your productions while saving time and money. There are a wide range of broadcast-quality sets, from corporate and educational settings to cutting-edge newsrooms and futuristic studios.
Animations and Multiple Angles
Master Set Library's pre-rendered virtual sets include multiple angles,
such as wide, medium, tight and alternate views. Whether you are shooting head-and-shoulder or full-body shots,
the views are coordinated allowing one stationary camera to easily create the illusion of multiple cameras
within spacious studio environments.
Additionally, some sets are further enhanced with special effects, such as virtual camera fly-throughs
and moving elements that interact with the environment. These work in conjunction with ULTRA's
breakthrough VirtualTrak virtual camera technology to simulate realistic motion tracking within the scene
using your existing stationary camera. Broadcast Quality Using DV
ULTRA can even deliver excellent results from the reduced color bandwidth of today's DV video sources. It also works on laptops so you can connect your DV camera and preview keyed output in real time.
 The optional training DVD introduces you to the features of ULTRA and shows you how to
best take advantage of them in a variety of production situations. From cleaning up edges to removing green and blue spill,
each process is broken down into simple steps that you can master quickly. |
