Production Lite
The production module of the RECKEEN LITE system provides a user with all tools needed for live program production.
The application has a clear layout, with all the main features displayed on the main screen. Often, productions require performing multiple operations nearly simultaneously, and that’s why RECKEEN LITE production application has been made to make your workflow the most efficient and easy.
Still Editor
Our Still Editor application allows you to create text panels and aesthetically impressive compositions in the form of graphic files with images and texts, such as news tickers. Texts can also be edited during the broadcast, in real-time, without the need to go back to the application – this way you can place a text panel with new content live on-air immediately.
VSM LITE Editor
With its help, you can easily create your own virtual studio or scenography. Using this intuitive application, everyone can create a unique design, tailored to individual needs and liking. The editor is provided within the RECKEEN Lite software, but it’s also a stand-alone software, available for free!
Connect up to 4 independent Cameras
RECKEEN Lite system has 4 camera inputs, up to 4K format. It allows you to have up to two 4K or up to four Full HD camcorders connected to the RECKEEN’s workstation. Their signals are keyed independently in high quality, thanks to four independent chroma key channels. Multiple inputs allow a user to make more complex productions with numerous talents filmed on different greenscreens, and also in different locations – if using an NDI connection.
Studio Configuration
Before starting a broadcast, we need to configure our chosen studios, talents, and media we wish to use. For each virtual camera, we can choose a different scenography – that gives us the possibility to use 4 completely various environments in one production. Each one can have assigned up to 4 phases. A phase defines a position of a camera. During production, we can transition between those shots in an easy way, without the need to do it manually.
One of the first things we should also do before production is to select a signal source for each place dedicated to a talent. We might need to adjust the size and position of talent, to match a virtual environment. We can also assign any media, such as videos or graphics, to virtual monitors in a studio, that we wish to do display during the broadcast.
NDI®
NewTek’s innovative Network Device Interface technology enables compatible systems, devices, and applications to connect and communicate over IP to share video, audio, and data. RECKEEN Lite system offers 6 NDI inputs for cameras and Media. Camera inputs include supported stream key and RECKEEN chroma key. The system also includes an NDI output, which allows Program output to be broadcasted using NDI technology.
Virtual Sets
RECKEEN Lite, by default, comes with 30 professionally-prepared set designs in various styles and themes. Virtual sets contain decorations, furniture, and virtual screens on which various media can be displayed. Moreover, by using our free software – VSM Lite Editor, you can create your own, unique scenography, or edit the existing one provided with the system. By assigning phases into a chosen set, we can create an impression that every shot is filmed with a different camera. That way the production can appear much more impressive
MEDIA TRAY
Media tray stores all of your media files: videos, audio files, pictures, and texts, in one organized place, that is divided into five tabs. The shortcuts make navigating between the tabs easy and efficient, which is extremely important during a production and broadcasting process.
Sound Mixer
RECKEEN Lite system is equipped with a built-in audio mixer, that allows you to mix signal levels for all of the inputs – from cameras and microphones, as well as media and audio files. The Output signal can be adjusted and managed, as well as recorded straight from the broadcasted material.
The mixer is also equipped with a Follow function, which automatically synchronizes an audio source with an input that’s being aired, avoiding situations when microphones, or other audio sources, are forgotten to be turned on or off in the correct times.
Multiviewer
RECKEEN LITE system gives a user as much as 16 simultaneous preview windows, enabling efficient production of a live program. Given their functions, previews can be divided into three groups:
Multiviewer located in the production screen allows you to efficiently manage your work in a virtual studio. Any changes are displayed in Preview windows instantly, with no extra time needed for rendering, providing a user with a real-time view of a produced program. For easy and clear management during production and to ensure complete comfort of work, Multiviewer can be displayed on additional monitors.
DSK (downstream key)
Graphics, news tickers, animated logos and other textboards are placed on the main signal as overlays called DSK (downstream key). RECKEEN Lite system allows you to add up to two DSK signals simultaneously. Any kind of media can be placed as a DSK layer, giving you full freedom. Use this feature with content prepared in our Still Editor.
Additionally, a creative way of using this function is with slideshow presentation – if a slideshow has been made on a green background. This background will be keyed, leaving only graphics and text visible, which can truly enhance the look of your production, making it even more unique
