Hi Huseen,

Billboard refers to the talent's keyed out image in the virtual world. Note, that in tracked cameras billboards work differently than in virtual cameras (untracked cameras).
You can read more on billboards in tracked cameras here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/tutorials/for-studio-operators/setting-up-virtual-sets-with-tracked-cameras/#compositing-modes

AR is an abbreviation for Augmented Reality.
AR uses camera tracking data. Tracked camera compounds also use tracking data. The difference is that in AR usually you have a real-world studio and you put virtual objects into it, while in tracked camera compounds you have a virtual studio and you put real-world talent (billboards) into it.

MixedCam compounds are basically tracked camera compounds merged together with virtual camera compounds.
