Ncam Reality 2021 Ships Amidst Rising Demands for Virtual Production

Real-Time Camera Tracker Brings High-Fidelity CGI & XR to Any Environment

/EIN News/ -- LONDON, April 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Ncam announced the immediate availability of Ncam Reality 2021, the most advanced real-time tracking technology ever created for film, broadcast and live events. With Ncam Reality’s fast path to virtual graphics, users can now track on any camera, lens or rig, regardless of environment, opening up a wealth of visual possibilities for brands who want to build CGI into their productions.

“COVID-19 forced all of us to rethink how content gets created, from safety requirements to the logistics of working from home,” said Nic Hatch, CEO of Ncam. “The beauty of virtual graphics is their flexibility. With the right tracking equipment, you can visualize live XR, real-time CGI, set extensions and more directly in-camera, onsite or remotely, giving productions a way to stay on track during trying times.”

The new Ncam Reality solution provides everything needed for real-time camera tracking, including a Mk2 Camera Bar, Mk2 Server and Ncam Reality 2021 software. Built on modified Intel® RealSense™ hardware, the Mk2 Camera Bar offers advanced tracking indoors and out, using a lightweight design that fits on any camera. Unlike other systems, Ncam Reality’s hybrid sensors can handle every tracking technique, from natural features and fiducial objects to reflective markers, bringing more flexibility and control to the production.

Film & TV

With a seamless integration with Unreal Engine and native support for LED walls, Ncam Reality provides an essential ingredient for virtual production, allowing VFX teams to explore virtual locations, character designs and shot options with the director and cinematographer much earlier in the process. By creating a 3D point cloud of the surrounding environment, the software can automatically determine the optimum tracking algorithm for any point in time, leading to greater accuracy and the same level of results seen on Game of Thrones and The Midnight Sky.

Broadcast & Sports

A staple of CNBC and Sky Sports, Ncam Reality can be incorporated into a live or pre-taped production in a matter of minutes. Ncam Reality opens up the world of smart stages and XR to broadcasters in the smallest package possible. At 288 grams, the Mk2 Camera Bar can travel easily from studio to outdoor event, giving studios more leeway as they craft their productions. Remote access has also been added, allowing teams to control everything via a phone, tablet or PC, so they can do more from afar.

Live & Specialty

Thanks to a new GUI and simplified controls, Ncam Reality’s software is even more approachable for live and specialty productions. As AR/MR continues to expand into marketing, enterprise and esports, camera tracking is becoming more important for companies that need a natural blend between real and synthetic. With all the data processed locally, teams no longer have to grapple with a complicated setup to create compelling graphics. They can just attach Mk2, link up and go.
