3. MX40 Pro Novastar xR Solution
3.1 Solution Details
In the realm of xR (extended reality) virtual shooting, the integration of LED displays, cameras, tracking systems, rendering engines, scene construction, and media servers is important for creating immersive and realistic environments.
Despite advancements in xR technology, challenges persist in virtual shooting. Common issues include scanning lines, color distortion, and inconsistent color rendering from different angles. These problems can significantly affect the visual fidelity and overall experience of the xR scenes, particularly in film production where color accuracy and rendering index are crucial.
To address these challenges, Novastar has introduced a comprehensive xR virtual shooting control system solution. Central to this solution is the MX40 Pro, which integrates seamlessly with Novastar’s new Visual Management Platform (VMP) and the A10s Pro receiving card. This combination offers a robust control system for xR shooting, enhancing screen configuration, display effect adjustments, and defect processing.
3.2 Advantages
The Novastar xR virtual shooting control system, anchored by the MX40 Pro, offers several notable advantages:
Enhanced Visual Quality: By addressing common xR issues such as color distortion and scanning lines, virtual scenes are rendered with exceptional clarity and accuracy.
Seamless Integration: The MX40 Pro works in harmony with the VMP and A10s Pro receiving card, providing a unified solution for managing and optimizing xR environments. This integration simplifies the control process, making it more intuitive and efficient for operators.
Efficient Power Consumption: The system’s dynamic engine reduces power consumption by approximately 20%. The improved dynamic brightness and detail clarity further elevate the visual experience.
Flexibility and Control: On the input side, you can flexibly control the color of the display source, while on the output side, you can globally adjust the display effect.
Improved Operational Experience: The MX40 Pro, supported by the VMP and A10s Pro, offers a more convenient and effective control experience. The system’s ability to streamline screen configuration, adjust display effects, and handle shooting defects contributes to a smoother workflow and better results in virtual shooting projects.
