Pixotope 24.1.0 unlocks capabilities for broadcasters to take their digital productions to the following stage, enabling new inventive prospects whereas enhancing operational effectivity and reliability.
The new launch of Pixotope totally integrates Unreal Engine 5.4, opening up the power to design movement and manufacturing graphics straight in Pixotope 24.1.0. With this integration Pixotope now presents a full broadcast graphics resolution for simplified and streamlined augmented actuality (AR), digital studio, prolonged actuality (XR) and character generator (CG) workflows with Unreal Motion Design.
In addition, Pixotope revals, “this release features an arsenal of innovative updates designed to empower broadcasters with the tools to enhance creativity and reduce complexity in virtual production workflows. The result is that it is easier and more efficient than ever for broadcasters of all sizes to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling to grow and retain their audience to drive new revenue opportunities.”
“Broadcasters are constantly seeking ways to differentiate their programming. With Pixotope 24.1.0, we’re providing them with powerful tools to leverage Unreal graphics in their live broadcasts without complicating their workflows,” says Gideon Ferber, SVP of Product at Pixotope. “For broadcasters, these creative capabilities translate into unique revenue opportunities. For example, they can integrate clever advertising seamlessly within programming, effectively monetizing 3-dimensional space that previously had little to no value.”
With the mixing of Unreal Engine 5.4, Pixotope 24.1.0 delivers industry-leading movement design capabilities, permitting for complicated 2D movement graphics straight throughout the engine. This allows broadcasters to take their on-air branding and visible storytelling to new heights, creating extra partaking and immersive viewer experiences. With this integration, broadcasters can now simply produce extremely detailed and photograph sensible visible results, enhancing each storytelling and visible enchantment.
Complex broadcast graphics pipelines simplified
In addition to the improved inventive capabilities of Unreal Engine 5.4, Pixotope’s broadcast graphics resolution is simple for broadcasters to onboard. With Pixotope and Erizos Studio under one roof, customers get, PIxotope says, “simplified, streamlined, and familiar template-based workflows. This allows broadcasters to control multiple graphics engines and various aspects of their show simultaneously, integrating with newsroom control systems using the MOS protocol and supporting automation-driven playouts. These template-based workflows enable broadcasters to easily deliver compelling visual stories to viewers, seamlessly integrating real-time AR, XR, and virtual studio graphics into their live broadcasts.”
Gideon provides, “Broadcasters today face the dual challenge of producing high-quality content while managing tight budgets and complex workflows. By automating complex tasks and reducing the need for extensive technical resources with ease of use updates, broadcasters can optimize their workflows to get engaging content out faster and more often.”
