VirtualForge Software Pattern Generator
窗体顶端
The VirtualForge is a software pattern generator that transmits patterns to a display using Mac OS X or Windows and a professional video output device from AJA Video or Blackmagic Design. While this pattern solution is most commonly used by professional production studios, many home theater customers choose this option as well. The VirtualForge is an innovative and convenient alternative to expensive standalone hardware pattern generators.
