DISGUISE ADVERT I SEMENT FE ATURE .

HERE ARE THE FIVE MAIN WAYS BROADCASTERS CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS TECHNOLOGY:

ALLOW SMALLER STUDIOS TO BECOME BIG, IMMERSIVE SETS With xR, you don’t need to worry about the limitations of a studio. Build a massive, engaging world for your production – in what would usually be considered a photographic studio. The virtual set extension feature from disguise xR renders photorealistic graphics content from the camera’s point of view, and expands it – on-camera – beyond the physical LED walls. SAVE ON STUDIO TIME WITH RAPID CAMERA CALIBRATION The calibration of cameras and tracking systems using disguise xR takes minutes rather than hours (which can happen with green screen sets). This allows scenes to be shot across multiple sessions with minimal disruption and preparation. Production crews can change lenses and carry on shooting – ideal for broadcasters filming a show with various segments, needing a smooth transition between elements.

TELEPORT TALENT INTO THE STUDIO TO REDUCE TRAVEL With disguise, broadcast events like the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020 and 2020 US Open have been able to work around travel restrictions and social distancing measures. ‘Teleporting’ people from one location to another makes it appear to the viewer – and anyone on the main stage – as though they are in the same room. Bringing remote production teams and talent together is a massive help for broadcasters trying to reduce their carbon footprint. ELIMINATE POST-PRODUCTION BLUES BY CAPTURING VFX IN THE SHOT With a virtual production approach supported by disguise xR, broadcasters can avoid the headaches that often come with a linear production schedule. Instead of waiting until the studio, or even post-production, to find out if everything looks the way it should, every shot can be planned in advance – and will show up on-set as it will look in the final edit. Production teams can even make real-time changes to avoid expensive iterations later. xR workflows also allow productions to capture the right ambient light, realistic reflections on the actors and props, as well as eliminate any colour spill or extensive chroma key compositing that you may get from using green screens.

GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TALENT xR’s in-shot, real-time visual effects also encourage much more natural performances from those on stage, both from experienced talent and guests. They can actually see and interact with their surrounding scenes displayed on LED. A recent example of this was in French broadcaster M6’s La Soirée Extraordinaire , where disguise xR helped creative studio, Blue Node Paris, immerse artists in 43 different virtual scenes. Vast imaginative worlds transported them from the studio venue to a forest cabin, and a Grand Canyon filled with dreamlike animals. Since all the visual content was being projected from the LED volumes rather than added in afterwards, the artists were able to see and react to the graphics as they were performing. The disguise xR workflow allows users to create content with high resolution and frame rate accuracy, that can be rendered at any scale. This, paired with accurate spatial and colour calibration, ensures broadcasters can deliver top-quality shows more easily than ever, with an extra layer of unbelievable visuals to keep audiences engaged. With disguise, productions can be turned around in the same studio space, eliminating set and strike days. Whether you need high-end, production-quality shots, or generative media rendered for a live broadcast, disguise xR is making any type of content delivery possible.
