DI4D launches HMC, 4D facial capture system

After several years of development, DI4D It has launched to the HMC market, an optimized facial capture system for 4D and compatible with third -party software.

The DI4D HMC It equips a pair of high quality 4 MP stereo cameras and an accurate adjustment mechanism. On the other hand, it integrates a LED lighting panel that provides uniform lighting to the actor's face. The synchronization of the lighting system with the capture system Reduce brightness to which the subject is exposed.

At the same time, HMC DI4D allows an opening of F/2,5, in order to offer a better approach depth; short exposure, with the aim of minimizing the blur to movement; and low gain, thus reducing the noise of the image. On the other hand, its function of Wireless synchronization It continues to make several HMC remain synchronized to the master time code up to 60 fps.

Versatility and lightness

Flexible design based on an open DI4D headband HMC provides a “comfortable” adjustment for actors, while the arm of Carbon fiber It offers chamber stiffness and stability. For its part, its rapid release cable voltage system allows helmets to be removed and put quickly and repeated. The rechargeable battery provides up to 3 hours of operation Continuous wireless and interchangeable, in order to guarantee the minimum possible interruptions during filming.

How could it be otherwise, the software DI4Dlive It facilitates the remote control of several HMC DI4D in the production environment. It offers a series of functions to accelerate the HMC configuration process for several interpreters and in several sessions. In addition, simplifies the process of Multiple Tomas Monitoring, Recording, Review and Management through multiple HMCS DI4D. DI4D also highlights that DI4DLive offers functions to facilitate Capture of performances in 4D, such as camera calibration and 3D reconstruction by stereo photogrammetry.

Colin Urquhart, Director General of DI4D, declares about the launch: “Our DI4D HMC intends to satisfy the need for a high -end HMC solution optimized for facial capture in 4D. Its light and ergonomic design allows actors to forget the technology and focus on getting the best interpretations. The HMC DI4D is compatible with most of the facial animation solutions of third parties, but when it is used together with our services. 4D postprocessing, offers the most faithful and realistic facial animation possible. ”
