In broadcast facilities, and particularly for news and sport, teams need to communicate to create, check and place graphics elements, quickly and securely. Because of its extensive experience in applications like this, Brainstorm has designed a wide-access, multi-site asset management system tuned specifically to these requirements.

Engram is a HTML-based platform, with interfaces matched to the specific needs of journalists, editors, designers, production operators and system administrators. Work orders connect editorial requests to graphics production, ensuring that rights management and quality control are protected, along with versioning and sign-off. It tightly integrates with Brainstorm products, including eStudio, Aston,  InfinitySet and Edison, so the same editorial and management workflows apply whether the request is for a simple caption or a complete AR sequence.

“Our many users around the world tell us that our graphics systems provide the speed and productivity they need in fast-paced environments,” said Miguel Churruca, marketing and communications director at Brainstorm. “What they needed was a management layer that could keep up, that could track everything from workloads on designers to rights clearances, as well as moving material through the system from sourcing to formatting for air. That is why we are excited to unveil Engram at IBC.”

The busy Brainstorm presence at IBC2026 showcases the latest developments in graphics technology, embodied in Suite 7, the latest release of software across the product range, alongside the launch of Engram. The stand also includes a green screen studio with a Sony FR7 Cinema Line camera, showcasing how a high-quality PTZ camera integrates with Brainstorm graphics for real-time augmented reality.

“With the practical advances in Suite 7, our creative platforms InfinitySet, Aston and Edison, together with our acclaimed render engine eStudio, meet the real challenges of today’s high pressure broadcast environment,” said Hector Viguer, Brainstorm’s chief operating officer. “Engram is the natural extension, providing comprehensive asset management and workflow tracking for ever more efficiency.

“Making life simple and cost-effective is obviously a key goal,” Viguer added. “But so too is sustainability: a long-term commitment of ours and a topic at the top of every conversation. With Suite 7 and Engram we have focused on fine-tuning software to run with maximum effectiveness on standard in-house hardware, minimizing footprint and energy costs, a vital contribution to good stewardship as well as business benefits.”

The original launch of Suite 7 brought a whole raft of new creative tools, alongside major productivity boosts. All three frontline creative packages are bundled with eStudio, Brainstorm’s acclaimed render engine. With the significant efficiency enhancements in Suite 7, InfinitySet works seamlessly on dual GPU workstations, delivering the performance required by live broadcast operations while minimizing hardware and energy costs. 

The new additions to Suite 7 add AI tools, as well as enhancing still further the performance of the render engine. Using AI, InfinitySet can now track talents for keying without the need for a green screen, providing high-quality keying from a wide range of environments. Moreover, AI Body Tracking can identify and follow body parts of the on-screen talent for automated live interaction with 3D graphics components, making for more engaging ways of explaining and demonstrating complicated concepts on screen. 

The power of the eStudio render engine is increased yet more with the addition of native gaussian splatter, a cutting-edge technique that creates highly detailed 3D scenes from 2D photographs. For users, this means a very fast route to photorealistic environments without leaving the Brainstorm ecosystem and without the need for high-horsepower hardware. Suite 7 on eStudio also adds a native particle system, again with the aim of boosting productivity. 

“Through constant conversations with our users and with our technology partners, we use our R&D resources to best effect to meet their real needs,” said Hector Viguer, Brainstorm chief operations officer. “That means understanding what those needs are, whether large or small. 

“From there, we find the best solutions, using our own developments or the best on the market,” Viguer added. “Adding gaussian splatter for photorealistic rendering in Suite 7 means using the best algorithms and processes available. As an example, the Sony XYN splatter we will be demonstrating at IBC, or our seamless integration with the Unreal Engine, including all the latest tools in UE 5.8. 

“Working with AI tools to add the small touches makes workflows simple and streamlined,” he concluded. “Alongside keying and body tracking without a green screen, we have also used AI to add voice recognition and action triggering to provide more automated certainty to complex real-time sequences.” 

Also new in Suite 7 are a raft of requested facilities, including tight integration and pre-build calibration for PTZ cameras and video walls. At IBC2026, Brainstorm is demonstrating these capabilities with a demonstration featuring the Sony FR7 Cinema Line PTZ camera, mounted on EVS T-Motion robotic column and rail, and an Alfalite LED wall. At the same time, Brainstorm will be present at the Sony stand with InfinitySet as part of the Ocellus demo, using a single InfinitySet workstation to drive a 3-camera setup. 

Brainstorm is also hosting the VWA (Virtual Worlds Association) on its IBC stand. Brainstorm is co-founder and member of the board of this European Association dedicated to promoting virtual technology, so this space will serve to introduce the VWA to the broadcast and audiovisual worlds.    

IBC visitors are invited to take a seat in the presentation area, relax and talk to the Brainstorm team about the latest developments in broadcast graphics creation and delivery. Find out more on IBC2026 stand 7.A15.
