A system that benefits the production of content for digital TV and cinema is named Virtual Studio. A virtual studio system can use technologies such as augmented reality and digital matting in order to reduce production costs while providing the same resources of a conventional studio. Thus, it enables current studios, with low cost and using conventional devices, to create productions with greater image quality and effects, in real-time. Based on this context, this paper presents the design and implementation of a virtual studio system called ARSTUDIO, which allows the inclusion of special effects in real time, different from current systems where the special effects are added during the postproduction step of a pipeline. This approach proves to be quite interesting, flexible and innovative, since it can save time and possibly avoid rework by optimizing the production pipeline of audiovisual content.
