1. Introduction
The VGB-4000 is a 4K Pro Presentation System and designed especially for the MOOC course video recording,
TV station weather report and stock market analysis applications. The VGB-4000 system features as an all-in-
one chassis system including chromakey, lumakey, audio delay and video recording, streaming functions to
achieve 4K video keying and ProRes recording quality by a single person operation without considering the
limitation of the studio space with reduced green backdrop size and can do streaming to one or multiple
destinations via encoder or dv Cloud service across boundaries and devices at the same time.
The VGB-4000 combines the interactive touch panel, multiple input signals including the multi-camera shooting
in the studio, foreground input, background input (ppt), wireless microphone input, ppt audio input. Teachers
can write, make marker on the interactive touch panel through their fingers without IENE pens, projector and
big green backdrop which makes the setup process much easier, simple to operate without complex calibration
with minimum technical support. The high quality lumakey and chromakey can allow teacher to interact with
computer-generated graphic and controlled by TPC-700 touch panel. Also, the hold out feature can help to
remain green color in the presentation.
Furthermore, the VGB-4000 can combine a 7” touch panel to control chromakeyer to ON/OFF Lumakey,
ON/OFF AUX Layer Swap Front, ON/OFF background Blur. The Look Back kit allows you to see the real-time
screen for video recording. The foot switch allows the teacher to control the recording time of the start and
stop at any time.
