Brainstorm will show real-time ray tracing at NAB 2019 using Nvidia RTX GPUs

The company, in its 25th anniversary, will showcase numerous new technologies and advanced rendering tools for virtual sets, AR and graphics

Brainstorm will be present in NAB (stand SL 2812) showing its entire range of graphics solutions, virtual sets and augmented reality for applications such as news, sports, entertainment, elections and presentations. On its 25th anniversary, the company will demonstrate its new developments aimed at substantially improving rendering, introducing ray tracing in real time using GPUs Nvidia RTX.

InfinitySet, Brainstorm's solution for virtual sets and augmented reality, presents its version 3.1, which includes powerful new features such as real-time ray tracing, compatibility with Unreal Engine 4.22, HDR I/O, PRB, new effects and 360° output, among many other tools.

InfinitySet will be the centerpiece of the Brainstorm booth bringing to life the main demo, showcasing hyper-realistic augmented and mixed reality content in a visually spectacular presentation. InfinitySet integrates perfectly into any broadcast environment, and works as a hub that centralizes the different technologies and hardware required for the operation of virtual sets and augmented reality, such as chroma keyers, tracking, cameras, mixers and many others.

This solution offers high-level preview and real-time post-production of content for the series, soap operas, cinema and advertising markets. Additionally, InfinitySet will display a new module designed to create advanced presentations, providing augmented reality based on material from standard presentation tools such as Microsoft Powerpoint or Adobe PDF, and including embedded characters, among other possibilities.

Aston2D

Aston, the graphics, titration and broadcast solution, also shows the version 3.1, which introduces Aston2D, a specific version that transfers all the power and experience of Aston to the requirements of the two-dimensional environments. When you need the most sophisticated tools for 3D, Aston is the perfect solution, but for applications that do not require them, or for designers focused on 2D environments, Aston2D is the ideal solution. Aston2D does not reduce the versatility and functionality of Aston, but rather transfers its possibilities to a two-dimensional environment with a more affordable product.

The graphics workflow is completed with Neuron, the broadcast graphics management solution, y AstonElections, the template-based application for election coverage graphics. Additionally, Brainstorm will showcase new products and solutions for meteorology, sports analysis, presentations and 360° interactive content.

Ricardo Montesa, CEO and founder of Brainstorm, comments that "we are very excited to be at NAB on our 25th anniversary, as it is remarkable how a company focused on innovation can show its excellence, year after year, in an always dynamic and continually evolving market. So, maintaining our commitment to innovation, we will show a spectacular variety of solutions, products, tools and workflows at NAB. We are especially proud to present real-time ray tracing, which will provide our clients with more and better tools to create even more spectacular content for their audiences.”
