Maestro | AR comes with powerful augmented reality tools that enable you to quickly insert and control 3D virtual objects and immersive graphics in any virtual and/or conventional studio. Easily produce captivating 3D virtual objects that look like part of the actual environment. Maestro™ | AR (formerly RealSet) offers a suite of augmented reality tools that enable you to add visual interest to news, game shows, financial programs, election coverage, sports events, and other productions-both indoors and out. 3D objects remain tied to their exact position—regardless of camera motion-no chroma keying required. You can even use it for product placement and substantially increase your ROI.

Maestro | AR integrates seamlessly with Maestro | Designer (formerly 4Designer) to generate all graphical elements. Import 3D objects-along with their geometry, textures, and animation-from 3ds Max, Maya, and other modeling software directly into Maestro | Designer for further enhancement and for use in any Maestro | AR environment. Once an object is associated with camera tracking information, it remains tied to its position in the studio regardless of the camera’s motion.  

Once you’ve inserted an object into a scene, you retain full control of its scale, position, angle, and other parameters. In addition, you can load and trigger multiple scenes at the same time using Maestro | AR’s unique dynamic scene blending capabilities. You can also control and trigger standard non-tracked graphics, such as lower thirds, full frames and tickers. Add Maestro | TD Control (formerly TD Control) and you can control all augmented reality graphics and video wall content from one interface.

Maestro | AR enables you to insert up to 16 different full-resolution SD/HD video streams and up to 14 in 3G to further enhance your virtual or conventional studio environment. Play and integrate multiple AVI, QuickTime, DV, DV25, MPEG, and other commonly used video formats to add more dimension to presentations.
