Edison PRO is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, and cost-effective solution for creating amazing live and online presentations. Users can start off with a simple PPT or PDF file and then add rich media, from pictures, sound and video to complex 3D objects and animations from the built-in libraries or any other source. Presenters can immerse themselves in a virtual environment and easily control the presentation using standard devices, such as a clicker.
Easy-to-use application
Users can create dazzling presentations with total ease, based on everyday presentation tools like PPT or PDF files.
Compatible with Unreal Engine
Edison PRO is fully compatible with UE photorealistic scenes, which can be used as 3D backgrounds for the presentations.
Cost-effective, turnkey solution
Edison PRO is a cost-effective, turnkey solution, designed to ensure ease of operation, compatibility and performance.
Turn any presentation into a live, virtual experience
Edison PRO is an innovative, template-based playout application that seeks to transform any live, online presentation or conference into an immersive experience through AR and virtual environments, allowing users to enhance their speech and storytelling with real-time 3D graphics and other visual aids, including immersing themselves in the presentation.
Based on Brainstorm’s 25 years of broadcast experience in virtual sets and AR, Edison PRO substantially improves the impact of any presentation. Users do not require any experience in graphics, video, image or 3D, as the starting point for their sessions is a PPT of PDF document.
Compatible with standard presentation tools
Edison PRO can import standard PPT and PDF files so the slides or pages can be displayed and controlled by the presenter by using Edison’s interface. The presentation can also be controlled using standard clicker devices, smartphones or tablets.
Easy to use and control
Running a presentation is as easy as loading a template and importing the slides. Once a template is loaded, Edison PRO can key out and insert the presenter inside the 3D Virtual Reality scene, which can be further customized.
TrackFree virtual cameras that turn your virtual set limitless
Using Brainstorm’s patented TrackFree™ technology, Edison PRO takes the video feed of your fixed camera and creates virtual camera views from it. These are flexible, independent from the live feed, and can move freely in 3D space, as pedestals or cranes do in live production environments. This feature expands the virtual environment far beyond the limits of the physical chroma set. Users can change the camera view or create a new one at any time, instantly, with just a click!
Unreal Engine compatible
Edison PRO is compatible with UE scenes, which can be used as 3D backgrounds for the presentation. This improves your presentations with the ability to use hyper realistic background scenes in real-time.
Also, the optional Edison UC (Edison Unreal Control) plugin allows for controlling and editing the UE scene’s blueprints, objects and properties directly from Edison’s own, user-friendly interface.
Based on feedback from users, Edison PRO 5 introduces a number of new features that greatly enhance the possibilities for content creation. New features include workflow and IO enhancements, new virtual lights and actor improvements plus a new chroma keyer that vastly improves the integration of the actors.
New advanced chroma key
Edison PRO 5 features a new chroma key with additional options, including a difference key and built-in presets that facilitate an automatic, single-click keying to start with, which can be further refined.
New Starlight Virtual Lights & Shadows
Starlight allows for easily applying several virtual shadows to the keyed actor, to simulate multiple light sources in the virtual set. The number of lights, its position, intensity, rotation and direction can be configured.
New Actor Chase
Allows the virtual camera to automatically follow the actor, by making him/her a point of interest, while he/she moves around the set.
New NDI Ident
Identifies an input source as NDI, so it can be directly identified and selected at any time, which is perfect for Teams/Zoom setups.
QuickStart
Allows for a quick start of Edison with a simple template to work with, not requiring loading a specific template.
Actor Fill Color
Actors can be graded (color, contrast, brightness) to easily match their color temperature with that of the scene they are in.
Nvidia Broadcast Compatibility
Edison is now compatible with NVIDIA Broadcast so it can take advantage of its features of virtual webcam, effects, audio, etc.
Enhanced pointer
New pointer feature allows to draw directly in 3D space at the point of interest, and not just as an overlay in the frame.
Dazzling live AR presentations in just two steps
1. Load a template
Edison PRO comes with a library of pre-defined templates, scenes, furniture, pointers, screens and other objects to populate the scene, available as free downloads.
2. Insert your PPT/PDF presentation
Edison PRO can import standard PPT and PDF files so the slides or pages can be displayed and controlled by the presenter by using Edison’s interface or a clicking device.
Customize your presentation adding new assets
Once the template is loaded, Edison PRO can key out and insert the presenter inside the template scene by using its built-in chroma keyer. Then, the scene can be further customized, adding assets such as videos, images, 3D objects and much more. And, as Edison PRO is compatible with Unreal Engine scenes, your backgrounds can be as photorealistic as any high-end scene.
Once the template scene is loaded, users can customize it at will, changing the displays, furniture, backgrounds and adding elements like pointers or even interactive templates for quizzes and polls.
Users can also import any material they may require, like images, videos or 3D objects, regardless they have been custom-built for a presentation or downloaded from available libraries or stock image pages.
Turnkey solution for photorealistic broadcast quality
Based on 25 years of the broadcast experience of Brainstorm in virtual sets and AR, Edison PRO substantially improves the quality and impact of your presentations without requiring specific knowledge in 3D, virtual studios or video.
Edison PRO is a standalone product* that includes a future-proof hardware to ensure the ease of operation, compatibility and performance. Installation, training and support are straight-forward, ensuring a rock-solid operation even in highly demanding, live production environments.
