Mo-Sys VP Pro is the complete solution for creating virtual production content for live broadcast, film, game cinematics and architectural visualization. With a full range of creative tools directly in the engine, enhance your productions using augmented graphics and virtual sets with real-time camera tracking.

What is Mo-Sys VP Pro?

Currently utilised by a growing pool of filmmakers, high-end broadcasters and developers, Mo-Sys VP Pro streams live tracking data from all Mo-Sys robotic and tracking hardware such as StarTracker and RoboJib. Mo-Sys VP Pro features a creative AR mode, an internal keyer and data recording with timecode stamp for FBX export, as well as many more virtual production features that empower your creative processes in the Unreal Engine.

High-quality camera tracking

Developed from our patented broadcast camera tracking system, StarTracker comes the film-orientated StartTracker VP. This optical tracking system looks at “stars”; which are small, identical retro-reflective stickers which are randomly applied to the studio ceiling or on the floor. A small LED sensor, mounted on the studio camera, shines light on the stars and remembers the constellation. This then reports the position and orientation of the studio camera in real time to the rendering engine.

Unrestricted Unreal Plugin

StarTracker VP comes with a plugin for Unreal and as such is not limiting you in your workflow. It allows you to tap into the raw power of Unreal, giving full flexibility and creative freedom. StarTracker VP was specifically tailored for virtual productions and VFX heavy filming – with many features that simplify VFX shots.

Post-production

Whilst allowing on-set visualization in real-time, as well as scene blocking in virtual worlds, StarTracker neatly provides timecode synchronization and an FBX export allowing you to efficiently drop the recorded data and footage into Maya and other post-production software.

Mo-Sys bMR is for sports, news, or current affairs broadcasters who want to deploy (or transition to) a unified Unreal-based graphics solution for driving an LED virtual studio with integrated 2D/3D on-air graphics under MOS/NRCS control.

bMR has been designed to address multiple deployment scenarios

New studio build - where both on-air graphics system and a LED virtual studio are installed at the same time. Upgrade transition plan - where either the on-air graphics system or the LED content server are installed first, and used with the existing on-air graphics system or green screen studio until these are upgraded.

bMR LED content server system

bMR can drive any size/shape/pixel pitch LED virtual studio (equipped with sufficient render nodes), with the base system able to drive an LED studio with up to 8million pixels.

Create expansive virtual studios

Set extensions with simultaneous augmented reality (AR) are also possible, with the delay between the Unreal graphics perspective displayed on the LED wall, and the camera’s actual position, the lowest on the market today.

Multi-camera switching

The system offers multi-camera switching capability, up to UHD4K resolution, enabling multiple cameras to be used with an LED volume, where switching between cameras is orchestrated with the LED wall updating correctly.

Flexible upgrade path

bMR contains 2 Mo-Sys VP VFX virtual studio compositing licences (more can be added), for an upgrade transition scenario where a broadcaster needs to deploy bMR as initially an on-air graphics replacement to work with an existing green screen virtual studio, before upgrading this to an LED virtual studio.

bMR on-air graphics system

bMR’s on-air graphics system offers three ways of displaying templated data-fed graphics; standard 2D keyed graphics, keyed 3D graphics, or 3D ‘in-scene’ Unreal element graphics. The system conforms to MOS protocol and can be controlled by commonly available newsroom computer systems (NRCS) such as Octopus, ENPS, or other popular NRCS.

Intuitive interface with full system redundancy

bMR is based on web browser technology and uses a fully redundant server/client architecture. Importantly, it is an on-premise solution and is not cloud-based.

Local and remote preview

bMR offers local and remote preview, where remote preview is enabled via temporary agents to avoid copying, which in turn reduces remote preview latency.

Absolute control

The system uses a browser-based Mediahub to manage graphics assets, offering streamlined control of multiple graphic elements on a single production, as well as multi-studio capability. bMR offers users the ability to create simple custom interfaces for populating graphic templates, for attaching real-time data sources to graphic templates, or for manual control of graphic elements.

ACQUISITION & NEWS PLANNING Journalists can quickly and easily browse for video and text, with a variety of information sources at their disposal: wire agencies, rss feeds, websites, the station’s existing media archive, or any external video file. The time and number of programmes per day, week and month, and the format or outline structure with placeholders, are imbedded into LNS system. News stories on individual rundowns are assigned to journalists who can see the tasks assigned to them from their own login.

SCRIPT AND VIDEO EDITING Journalists write their story, app and web page template cues, prompter script, camera cues and character generator text using a simple to use, multilingual Windows programme. As the story is changed and updated, all users are updated on developments. The journalist can record voice overs and undertake a simple edit in their workspace, using the inbuilt timeline editor. If extensive video editing, packaging and compositing is required, the timeline can be exported to an NLE, rendered and the file imported back into the LNS workspace. If only cut editing and voiceovers are required, then rendering of the timeline is processed by LNS. After checking, the assigned journalist marks the resulting video as the on-air copy, which notifies it’s completed. It is then marked as being ready for more senior editorial approval and placed in a pool of stories and content, ready to go into the programme running order with a simple drag and drop.

PRE-PRODUCTION RUNDOWN MANAGEMENT Using pre-prepared templates for each deadline or programme category, the completed stories and packaged content is now in a specific rundown, which shows detailed information on the readiness of each of the stories or packaged content, signaling potential issues such as video missing, prompter script not approved, cg not approved, etc. Users who have sufficient rights can then publish the rundown, for air, app and web

Polymotion Chat is an easily deployable studio solution that allows an operator to automate up to six presenter and guest camera positions. Using limb and face detection software Polymotion Chat tracks their movements and provides stable and natural-looking content.

SIMPLY YOUR WORKFLOW

Polymotion Chat is a camera solution for small studios. Controlling up to 6 robotic heads from one operator stadium, Chat can be used as a flexible broadcast solution.

ADAPTABLE, AUTOMATED SYSTEM

Whether your requirements are traditional newsroom, standing presenter-led, or magazine format show, Polymotion Chat can help streamline this work-flow.

REPLICATE NATURAL MOVEMENT

An operator has several tools inside Polymotion Chat to replicate a natural camera movement. For example, after framing their subject, a ‘static zone’ can be set to control how far the subject can move before the camera starts to follow it. The speed of this move can also be controlled in line with the production requirements.

FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE

Polymotion Chat can utilise presets to help locate and frame subjects. This can include off frame positions for graphics insertions for news or sports programming or set camera positions for intros or interviews.

Additionally, for the pop-up studio, a remote production workflow can be used with the operator managing the Polymotion Chat system over IP from the main production facility.

USE YOUR EXISTING CAMERAS

Any combination of the MRMC Robotics range can be used with Polymotion Chat.

For customers who already have chosen their cameras they can simply add them to our AFC100 platform. This will turn the camera into a fully automated robotic head with pan, tilt, zoom and focus. This delivers the same consistent ‘look and feel’ in production with the added benefit of precision.

ONE OPERATOR

The Polymotion Chat solution comes in either a 1U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 3 tracking heads) or a 2U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 6). Simply use your existing cameras on one of MRMC Robotic heads and connect. The interface has been designed to work with either a touchscreen or a standard keyboard and mouse. One operator can easily control Polymotion Chat and additional operators’ consoles can be added.

SIMPLE UI

With Polymotion Chat software, automatic zones can be set per camera to ensure the subject is framed correctly and if they move beyond a set radius the camera automatically follows them. Limits can also be set so that if the subject moves out of the studio space the camera simply stops following and returns to it’s default position.

As IP continues to go mainstream for video production, producers have identified key requirements. They’re looking to move away from bulky, expensive hardware to more flexible software and cloud-based solutions as well as more lightweight field gear like bonded cellular backpacks. They need IP streaming solutions that can be incorporated easily into production workflows, with the ability to ingest non-baseband sources.  Broadcast Operations need to be able to use the entire gamut of IP-based protocols, and sometimes several of them during the same production. Likewise, they need fast, frictionless ways to transcode feeds and files into multiple video house formats for asset management and distribution. 

The concept of an IP network operations center (IP-NOC) addresses all of these requirements by bringing together the state of the art in IP-based signal acquisition and cloud-based media asset management (MAM). Driven by these enabling technologies, the IP NOC offers a paradigm shift from traditional broadcast operation centers and satellite trucks to smaller and more nimble transmission gear, cameras, and capture devices.
