Dynamic moving backdrops with very high resolution visual projected images, perfectly sychronized to the live stage actions, lighting and music. This long awaited stage set dream is now a reality with the introduction of networked picture servers which integrate all forms of visual content onto one seamless stage backdrop to produce the ultimate "Virtual Set". Artistic murals, Still images, Photographic images, Moving icons, Corporate branding, Video footage are all possible elements which can now be incorporated into your next stage production. Live or synchronized interactive control of these images keeps pace with your production and scene changes with an accuracy that even allows live actor interaction with the moving 'sets'. Production is timeline based and is projected directly from the same application in which it was created. Changes are immediate and no rendering or final mixing is required. Set creation can therefore be built 'on-stage'. Television sets can now integrate Plasma screens with projected backdrops with total control of visual content on all screens. Picture content is networked across all displays to facilitate synchronized unique content per screen or per stage. Movement of content from one screen to another is therefore also a simple procedure. From still images to High Definition Video is supported on this system with the added flexibility of having Alpha Channel recognition to allow for Chroma Key based sets. |
