Supporting university to pre-eminent position in virtual production skills development
广播服务解决方案, 系统集成, production and content digitisation specialist, has partnered with Mo-Sys to implement a comprehensive virtual production centre at Solent University, 南安普顿. The centre now features a full complement of leading-edge technology, giving students unparalleled creative opportunities.
五年前, Solent called on Mo-Sys to support a greenscreen studio, using the StarTracker camera position tracking system. 最近, CJP has worked with Mo-Sys and others on the setup of an additional large, 高性能LED舞台. Powering the virtual environment in real time is the VP Pro XR graphics system from Mo-Sys, widely used by the industry worldwide for final pixel production.
VP Pro XR, which is powered by the Unreal engine for stunning photorealistic imaging, incorporates a number of unique features designed to ensure immersive and convincing virtual production. 这包括电影XR, which brings the movie visual language of depth of field into the virtual production environment, giving the cinematographer the ability to pull focus seamlessly between the real and computer-generated elements.
The recent project also implemented the latest version of camera tracking, StarTracker马克斯, working with the studio’s Red Komodo 6k camera. Mo-Sys provided intensive training for staff on VP Pro XR and StarTracker马克斯 through the Mo-Sys优势与y. The five-day courses – which are available to all – give a thorough understanding of the elements of virtual production and how to succeed in its implementation. This training provided a key part of the skills transfer which is at the heart of the Solent studio.
“Mo-Sys has been part of our production facilities for five years, 而且已经证明了自己,克里斯托弗·伍尔福德说, technical instructor at Solent University. “The new LED studio now has the latest camera-tracking technology from Mo-Sys - StarTracker马克斯 – along with VP Pro, to give our students the skills they will need to take directly into the creative industries.
“Working with CJP for the studio install meant that we could take advantage of their huge knowledge and experience, ensuring we could use the studio to its fullest advantage from day one,伍尔福德继续说道. “新的虚拟制作工作室, 是我们媒体学院的重要组成部分, was our biggest investment for a long time. CJP delivered on our goals by building a studio equipped with the best and most widely recognised technology.”
基兰菲利普斯, sales and marketing director at CJP, added “In all our projects – whether for educational, commercial or broadcast clients – it is really important that we select the best equipment for the task in hand. Mo-Sys是我们的重要合作伙伴, because its camera tracking technology is the industry standard, and with VP Pro it provides a practical and affordable route to creative freedom in live virtual production.”
