When collaboration becomes the demo: Storm ISE

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) in Barcelona brought together a wide range of technologies and partners across the AV and broadcast ecosystem, and Brainstorm was pleased to be part of the Alfalite stand during the show. Together with Dejero and several other partners, we contributed to the Storm ISE demonstration, a live-streamed, emergency response simulation connecting technologies across multiple booths.

Introducing Suite 7 at NAB

Suite 7 brings together the company’s flagship applications, including InfinitySet for virtual and XR production, Aston for real time graphics, and Edison for immersive virtual and AR live events, all powered by the eStudio render engine. This development focuses strongly on efficiency and workflow improvements, enabling advanced virtual production, graphics and AR pipelines to run on a single workstation while making better use of modern GPU architectures.

Opening the doors at Pinewood Studios

Brainstorm hosted an Open House at the Sony Digital Media Production Centre at Pinewood Studios! Attendees were able to explore how virtual production technologies are being used to create high quality content in a flexible and sustainable way, meet fellow innovators, and get inspired by the most advanced tools for virtual content creation. The Open House featured InfintiySet with a dedicated LED screen and Sony’s new Ocellus. Request a demo >

Suite 7 brings together all of the Brainstorm flagship products: InfinitySet, the most advanced virtual, XR and AR production solution; Aston, the designer’s choice for real-time 2D and 3D motion graphics; and Edison, the simple route to immersive virtual and AR live events. These applications can run on eStudio, Brainstorm’s acclaimed render engine, also updated as part of Suite 7. 

“Responding to our users, our goal with Suite 7 is around efficiency and workflows,” said Miguel Churruca, marketing and communications director at Brainstorm. “The new functionalities will make users’ lives easier when creating the most advanced virtual content, no matter the application.” 

With growing pressure on all businesses to embrace sustainability, long a commitment championed by Brainstorm, Suite 7 is focused on hardware and software efficiency and flexibility. It makes seamless use of dual GPU workstations, which boosts the performance of a single licence while minimising hardware footprint and energy costs. 

Integration within the suite delivers the fastest interoperability between the Brainstorm eStudio render engine and Unreal, again for highly efficient performance. In a virtual studio, for example, you can input three cameras, compose them with Unreal and output all three channels simultaneously in a single workstation. Alternatively, the architecture could be used for set extension or multiple AR objects in just one render node on one hardware device. 

InfinitySet and Aston both enjoy better interoperability and have new video wall management features including advanced options for the component graphics such as animated presets and interaction logic between templates. InfinitySet now includes 360˚ output per render, paving the way to content for virtual glasses. 

As well as new features like QuickStart and Teleporter for automatic talent tracking with 4k cameras, Edison now has a lite version. Eddie is specifically oriented towards education, while still being able to call on all the other elements of the Edison ecosystem. 

“Virtual environments, including augmented reality, are a central part of production for broadcast, movies, live events and AV,” added Churruca. “With Suite 7 we are liberating creativity by giving artists and designers the tools they need, which are responsive, fast to output, and make significant strides towards sustainability.”

As LED-based XR is becoming increasingly used, Brainstorm has developed new features that allow for easier, faster and more integrated creation of immersive XR content specifically designed to be displayed on large LED videowalls. With these features, Brainstorm’s clients will see their XR content creation significantly accelerated when creating in-context AR in LED walls, XR Set extensions, or even backgrounds for film and drama production. Suite 5 has a dedicated interface for creating XR installations, which allows for modelling any kind of video wall, including curved, shaped and corner installations, and map the desired 3D content in such model. This facilitates the creation of virtual AR content to be directly displayed and seen by the camera with the correct perspective at all times. Also, by taking advantage of the Layers and Stacking features of InfinitySet, different renders, even with different resolutions and aspect ratios, can be mapped in a canvas of any size and aspect.

In addition, the unique integration of InfinitySet and eStudio with Unreal Engine is now even tighter, allowing for the inclusion of fully editable Brainstorm scenes and templates within an Unreal project, and vice-versa. This is especially useful when creating AR projects within Unreal, which benefit from Brainstorm’s advanced data-driven graphics and broadcast workflows compatibility. This is coupled with the acclaimed UnrealControl feature which supports editing the Unreal Projects directly within InfinitySet’s familiar interface with total ease and control of blueprints, objects and parameters. Suite 5 also features a new, redesigned internal chroma keyer that includes a new mode that embeds the Unreal Engine chroma keyer directly into InfinitySet. Brainstorm Suite 5 is fully compatible with Unreal Engine 4.27 and will be with UE 5.

“Brainstorm has been deeply involved with Augmented Reality and Virtual Production for decades now, and Suite 5 is the result of applying our expertise to the new display methods that broadcasters and filmmakers are introducing into their workflows” says Hector Viguer, Brainstorm’s COO and Engineering Director. “The advanced features of Suite 5 will allow any user to comply with any kind of VR/AR/XR requirement, regardless of how complex it is, and leaving them free to choose the production workflow they feel is best for their production, whether LED walls or chroma keying. We want to be agnostic so we can provide a solution for any requirement.”

Some other features are included, like improved HDR workflows, and better integration with robotic heads from manufacturers such as Panasonic or Sony. Also, Edison, the company’s virtual studio in a box product designed for live events and presentations, will also benefit from some of the above plus its own features as a result of its upgrade to V5.

Brainstorm Suite 5 will be available on March 1st, and will also be demonstrated at NAB 2022 at the Brainstorm booth N2608.
