RECKEEN LITE has been created as a technology that combines the quality of high-budget solutions with the ease of use. It allows you to realize professional video materials in a virtual studio, with various types of stage design. What’s more, it is an excellent marketing tool and a platform for creative people to express themselves.

RECKEEN LITE system is based on a green screen technology placing the presenter in a virtual space. Additionally, it enables incorporating a video footage as well as static graphic materials into a „virtual scene”.

It is a comprehensive tool supporting not only visual solutions, but also sound editing and, most of all, broadcasting in a streaming mode.

In a nutshell –  RECKEEN LITE is a complete and user-friendly system for starting your own virtual studio based online TV channel with no lesser quality than the ones known from popular TV programs or Internet portals.

Creating social media content

Being aware of the social media’s vital role, and especially video materials, in today’s marketing communication, it is difficult to imagine a more effective tool for creating content than a customized video channel based on a branded setting.

Fitting your marketing strategy

RECKEEN LITE system is primarily an efficient marketing tool, and thus we put strong emphasis on utilization of its potential here.

Appearance limited only by your imagination

In RECKEEN LITE system, the appearance of a studio is constructed in 2D technology with using layers, and the only applicable limitations here are: functionality, aesthetics, and branding assumptions; the laws of physics – like gravity – do not apply :)

Effective branding

There are many definitions of the brand. But each one can be carried out using „a tale” told by a video channel with a stage design that could be found in the manual describing the elements of visual identification.

Stage design tailored to your individual needs

Regardless of what you do, you can always choose the visual code that will be an appropriate medium for publishing your content. The role of design here is to subordinate the stage design character to marketing assumptions, image and character of the brand for which the TV channel operates.

Our designers will create a stage design tailored to your needs

Possibility of creating a stand-alone product in the form of a video channel

Every one of us knows the TV formats that are engraved on their memory: based on the personality of the anchorman, theme, character or ambiance built in the studio. Everyday, we see programs/news on TV and on the Internet that are based on the virtual studio technology.

You can join the club. You’ll be the star, and we can provide the necessary support.

VSM Lite Editor – this free virtual scenery editor is an additional module of RECKEEN LITE system, complementary to LITE Production module. It has also been designed to operate as a separate program you can install on any kind of PC.

With its help, you can easily set up your own virtual studio stage design. The design of the studio is carried out using layers, with one atop another. This way you can make a composition consisting of pre-prepared graphics and layers representing signals – sources A and B (Talents) and sources C and D (Screens). When such constructed project is saved as a rec2D file, it is possible to use it as a fully functional virtual studio stage design loading it into RECKEEN LITE system.

The Still Editor module allows you to create captions, text boards and news tickers. With an easy-to-use panel, suitable components can be downloaded from external files or created – even during the production and live editing.

Competitive price

RECKEEN LITE system is the cheapest solution available on the market offering such broad editing capabilities and a quality of a virtual studio.

Ease of usage

Everyone who had mastered some basic computer skills will quickly be able to familiarize themselves with workings of the video technology in a level sufficient to use the RECKEEN LITE set.

Quality comparable to big-budget solutions

The creators of the solution wanted to make the big-budget technology available to the masses. We believe they succeeded. What do you think?

Versatility

The simplicity and efficiency of this solution enables application of the set by virtually all business representatives that use the Internet – ranging from video bloggers, through training companies and creators of their own TV channels, to corporations, local government and educational institutions.

Streaming support

Just imagine that you can make a live broadcast from your studio that will reach the Internet users around the world :)

Mobility

When packed, the whole set can fit into the trunk of your car, so you can run your studio from any place with access to the Internet and to the power supply… and of course a couple of spare square meters.

Reckeen VKey100 Control Panel – Precise control over real-time video operations for professional use.

These video examples are solely for demonstration of green screen technology. There is no relationship with Reckeen products.

The system is complete and ready for work. However, in order to implement a virtual studio some additional elements are needed, such as green (green screen) or blue (blue screen) background with appropriate lighting system ensuring uniform illumination of the scene, and a camcorder or SLR camera with HDMI output (or camera SDI depending on the system version. See technical specification – video inputs on this page).

You will also need additional 2 or 3 monitors and the Internet connection at your disposal, if you want to broadcast a live program immediately. The user can operate the Reckeen system using a mouse and PC keyboard, or an dedicated control panel.

RECKEEN LITE enables you to connect up to four cameras with image keying function. Instead cameras you can connect any signal video source there e.g. PC , video player , laptop, smartphone, etc.

Yes, you can use VSM LITE EDITOR, which is available in the program, to modify studio’s stage design. The modified scenery  has to be saved in a file with a different name so that the „source” stage design remains unchanged.

First of all, you need to check whether the stage design itself has a place dedicated for the logo. It may be possible to insert a logo as an element of a scenery, like on the floor, on the wall, or on a screen in a virtual studio.

You can always add your logo with VSM LITE editor.

Another option is to insert a logo using DSK 1 or DSK 2 function, which enables placing an object already on a program ready for editing.

It is best to apply the paint intended for this purpose, as there are such special paints. You can also use a screen or foil for this purpose.

It is possible (rear USB 3.0 ports), but we recommend that all the materials to be uploaded to your RECKEEN LITE hard drive before the production, since the playback speed / data transfer from other sources may not be sufficient.

Yes, the system automatically downloads the necessary updates if it is connected to the Internet, you don’t need to do anything.

Recommended maximum length of the usual HDMI cable is 5m. If you want to use a longer cable it must be a special active cable. For example fiber optic HDMI cables. In the case of long links, we recommend that you use the RECKEEN SDI system version. SDI cables provide connectivity at a distance of at least 100 m.

This will be 30 ready-to-use stage designs of various themes that came together with the system.

Reckeen LITE studio offers a Full HD resolution. By purchasing additional License Key, You can upgrade it to 3D Studio &LITE with 4K resolution. No hardware changes are required.
