Green screen and Ultimatte compositing make it possible for an in-studio transmission to appear to be shot at an outside location. A news announcer who appears to be on location can throw to an inset shot at another apparent location. Both the news announcer and inset shot were actually done at Post Modern Broadcast Studios in the controlled studio environment. Backgrounds were composited from "B" roll video. These techniques can significantly reduce both cost and time required and the top-quality lighting and keying abilities of the Post Modern system mean the results are completely realistic. "The secret is in lighting the studio to match the ambient light at the location", says Studio Manager John Reynolds. Taking this concept one step further, with Post Modern Studios' 3D virtual set capabilities, there is no need to build a hard set for the news studio. A "virtual set" can be created using 3D digital compositing techniques.

Live broadcast feeds from Post Modern Broadcast Studios appear regularly on overseas TV stations and cable news networks as well. All this is made possible by fiber, microwave and satellite connections. The facility also features a C/Ku band receiver for remote location productions.

The two sound stages at Post Modern are used regularly by local producers who need a small to medium size stage.  The stages are turnkey and the broad range of available equipment includes the Sony HDV camera and HDV/DVCam deck.  The Sony HVR-V1U camera offers HD 16:9 or standard 4:3 capture with 1080 lines of horizontal resolution.  The Sony HVR-1500 HDV/DVCam deck offers 1080i HD / SD-SDI multi format DV playback.  1080i recording can be down converted as 480i and both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios are selectable.  Post Modern studios, coupled with the extensive HD/SD post production, animation/visual FX and audio capabilities ON SITE, present producers with a high quality, efficient solution for their production needs.  HD post production systems include Discreet Smoke HD and Final Cut Pro HD.
