Mo-Sys expands the capabilities of VP Pro with an improved composer, NearTime rendering and remote control

Coinciding with the release of Unreal Engine 4.27 Epic Games, Mo-Sys releases version 4.27 of its popular solution for virtual production,

During the Unreal Engine 4.27 preview period, Mo-Sys used the new update to complete a multi-camera shoot with Amazon. The upgrade also underwent a full technical test with multiple cameras for a major production of Netflix.

Michael Geissler, CEO of Mo-Sys, points out that “virtual production is experiencing a real boom, but it comes with challenges. Typically, directors and cinematographers must make continuous calculations to match real and virtual elements in post-production. This is usually an expensive and repetitive process. Mo-Sys is a pioneer in providing a platform for graphics rendering, as well as camera and lens tracking, to create higher quality virtual productions. “With VP Pro 4.27 we’ve made it even easier to make seamless high-quality productions, and we’re unique in making our 4.27 update available on the same day Epic Games releases Unreal Engine 4.27.”

NearTime is a cloud-based, automated re-rendering that dramatically increases and homogenizes visual quality, and enables higher resolutions (UHD, 4K, 8K), without the performance restrictions of real-time.

With NearTime, you can “turn up all the dials” for unrestricted real-time quality and do so at a fraction of the cost of completing the process in post-production.

As part of the 4.27 update, Mo-Sys will also release its online lens distortion library, which will give users access to a wide selection of calibration tools and allows them to adjust their lenses on set in a very cost-effective way.
