Brainstorm squeezes its new Suite 6 into demanding demos during NAB 2024

Suite 6, the latest version of the eStudio, InfinitySet and Aston products, is the engine of the impressive demos with which Brainstorm demonstrates in NAB 2024 be prepared to create virtual universes that enhance the narrative capabilities of the most demanding broadcasters.

The combination of the render of Unreal Engine (controlled by InfinitySet) and the eStudio rendering engine make up the core of a demo that surprises with its ability to run from a single workstation. This software and hardware optimization, supported by the GPU Nvidia RTX 6000 Ada Generation, make up the identity of the latest generation of Brainstorm solutions, which seeks maximum optimization in virtual production environments, as well as helping to reduce the carbon footprint and consumption of users in broadcast environments.

The demonstration, built thanks to the collaboration of partners such as Brompton o XD motion, tests a mixed environment that combines a chroma background and a large LED screen to show a television program with teleportation of presenters, data in context, a large interactive panel, augmented reality graphics. Likewise, the scenario demonstrates key processes that exemplify some of the latest improvements that Suite 6 brings: Color Matched 3D LUTs, AR motion graphics in context, talent teleportation immersive, multi-depth content…

In terms of rendering quality, Suite 6 makes InfinitySet compatible with workstations Dual-GPU, allowing users to split rendering requirements between the two GPUs, improving rendering quality and providing users with additional benefits in performance-sensitive XR environments. Other functions aimed at extended reality, such as XR Config or CalibMate, simplify the configuration and calibration processes, making them “mathematically precise” by executing algorithms created for this purpose that exclude human error. InfinitySet 6 also supports is compatible with SMPTE 2110, to support the latest issuance workflows.

Aston also received several new features in the context of NAB 2024 that increase the capabilities of the graphic solution for collaborative workflows. The new ones Graphic Instances They simplify the design process, giving better control to lead designers, as they can now not only create parts and concepts that the rest of the team then uses to produce all the necessary versions, but they also ensure that essential looks and updates can be applied directly, without intervention from the rest of the team.

In addition, StormLogic of Aston Now includes new transitions and interactions between templates, such as crop-based transitions and alpha channels, which greatly improve the visual impact of the graphics output. In addition, Aston incorporates a set of tools to create interactive projects that can be used with a touch screen. This toolset allows the creation of specific buttons to trigger actions and supports multi-touch gestures, allowing users to create interactive projects that can be used during production by on-screen presenters.

Neuron, the graphics and traffic management solution updated to be based on HTML5, and the ecosystem Edison, including products such as EdisonGO (capture environment that provides video and tracking information from an iPad) or Edison OnDemand (solution to facilitate the playback of a presentation in an immersive environment from a web browser), are also part of an ambitious showcase which is completed with new collaborations with companies such as Accuweather, Etere, Snews o Telycam.
