Studio 16 (wide 6)

This is a single angle (‘wide 6’) from Studio 16.

This variation of the wide angle shows the window in the background, and portrait-format picture frames. You can add your own images into the frames, and hide or show each one independently. You can also add your own skyline to replace the one shown.

The Photoshop version includes all of the available layers. The coloured wall section, and the carpet, are separate layers that can be colour-corrected to match your own brand colours. The glass layers are also separate and removeable. There is also a subtle ‘bloom’ layer that will add some extra light spill from the window. The Photoshop/PNG pack includes every layer from the Photoshop file saved out as a separate (lossless) PNG image with transparency. It also includes six ready-made (single layer) backgrounds, with transparent holes for the window and pictures.

The ‘TriCaster’ version has all the layers available to you in VSE (Virtual Set Editor), plus UV gradients set up for your live inputs. Your talent layer is set to Input A, with the skyline and pictures set to Input B by default. You can select Inputs C or D (if available) within VSE. You have two mapping options included for the picture areas – one will crop the centre section from a 16×9 source, the other will scale the source horizontally to fit. Simply turn off the one you don’t want to use.

The vMix version has the wall colour, carpet, and window-glass layers merged into a single ‘midground’ layer and will appear as shown. The picture frames also have the glass layer built in. You can use the Photoshop version (where all the layers are separate) to create your own variations.

The layers in the vMix version are as follows:

1. SKYLINE (dynamic – you can replace this with your own source)
2. midground (as shown)
3. SCREEN 1 (dynamic – the input for the left-hand screen)
4. SCREEN 2 (dynamic – the input for the right-hand screen)
5. frame 1 (the glass and surround for the left-hand screen. This can be turned on or off.)
6. frame 2 (the glass and surround for the right-hand screen. This can be turned on or off.)
7. TALENT
8. (spare)

The vMix version also has two mapping options included for the picture areas – the default will crop the centre section from a 16×9 source, but you also get another pair of UV layers that will scale your sources horizontally to fit into the screens.
