Automatic Calibration – Freeing up time for more creative pursuits

Thanks to years of research and first-hand experience in large-scale productions, our automatic calibration workflow now sets the standard for robust and accurate calibration in light-polluted projection mapping scenarios. We can calibrate projections during lighting focuses, in outdoor venues during sunset, or right before the show! You’ll leave other show disciplines wondering how you were calibrating, given that our calibration can run unnoticed due to our latest innovations with the nVZSlac workflow.  Have more time for creative explorations or be able to get more sleep!

Our new design tools allow for pre-production calibration studies to validate that your show will look great. Tools in the software let you check each camera and/or projector position, and lensing will deliver excellent calibration results. We know time on-site is limited, and changing equipment positions can be challenging. With our calibration study tools, you can walk in knowing you have a solid plan ahead of time that will work.

Media – With delivering outstanding quality, comes outstanding power

As screens improve with resolution and color spaces, we think a media playback solution should, too. That’s why we have developed our servers with the ability to play back content streams at 20 gigabytes per second. You read that right. 20-Gigabytes-per-second. That means you could simultaneously playback thirty-six layers of 4K 30Hz YUV 4:2:0, 8-bit-per-pixel video files or six layers of 4K 60Hz RGB 4:4:4 HDR, 16-bit-per-pixel video files from a single server. PHOTON and XENON can playback content so smoothly that you wouldn’t even feel like you are looking at a screen. As PHOTON and XENON are scalable systems, we can provide enough playback streams to blur the lines between the digital and real world.

We worked with industry leaders in HDR content production to optimize our rendering pipeline to keep end-to-end quality with professional color grading tools, a real-time effects engine, 8K video input card support, faster file transfer speeds, and LED file cropping at conversion for even greater effective resolutions. Our AI-powered content up-scaler enhances low-resolution content to create a brilliant image for these demanding screens.

Interactivity- Capturing motion with or without trackers

As stages get more kinetic with moving scenery, performers, deformable objects and making small to large-scale environments more immersive, VYV has been at the forefront of tracking technology for years. The tool box we have developed just gets better and more flexible with every tracking project we work on. PHOTON now lets you track and interact in public spaces where IR trackers are not an option. Using network-based LiDar, you can now activate a space using out Voxeliser tool to analyse millions of 3D points per second to reconstruct a space, track any forms within that space and make any surface interactive.

From body projection mapping to interactive games, unleash your creativity using the nodal programming environment in PHOTON by creating unique and dynamic interactive experiences with hundreds of effects nodes at your disposal. Tools like image processing, 3D particle rendering, relighting, AI-powered background removal, logic and mathematical functions, gives you the building blocks to build unique and engaging landscapes.

User interface – Being in command never looked so good

With a new user interface that has been tuned for multiple displays and more pixel space, getting to the tools you need have never been easier. Several new tool sets for workflow optimizaitons are available in contextual menus or even a keystroke. As system performance monitoring is crucial for advanced show, a new profiler for the effects graph module helps you find where optimizaitons can be made.

Being flexible for the ways a show can be controlled, whether that is timecode, MIDI, OSC, manual cues, TCP/IP triggers, or a lighting desk, VYV has you covered. With advances in our our DMX profile and patch system, you can give complete show control of media and effects to a lighting console.

Discover new workflows and modules with our integrated workflow documentation and “What’s New” learning modules to quickly get to creating with the latest VYV has to offer.
