Evolve CX chooses Brompton for VP training
- Details
Recently, the company opened its new Evolve CX (Customer Experience) space in the Atlanta BeltLine. Evolve CX is a technology laboratory aimed at education and training specifically for the virtual production market, where professionals can gain valuable hands-on experience and creative studios can develop and demo content for their clients. The Evolve CX team, led by Brian Macauto, director of technology for virtual production, opted to equip the space with Brompton LED video processors.
“Brompton is very respected in the virtual production industry for its friendly user interface and flexible features for things like colour correction control and tuning the LED wall settings specifically to the camera,” explained Macauto. “Compared to other processing options, Brompton is just the best of the best, and that’s what this industry wants to use.”
The Evolve CX virtual production volume is equipped with Studio 1.9 LED panels at 7,680 x 2,048 resolution, driven by two Brompton SX40 LED video processors and six Brompton XD data distribution units. It also has Unreal Engine, Pixera, and disguise media servers to feed content to the wall, Mo-sys and Stipe camera tracking, and a Sony Venice camera. Brompton’s LED video processors enable users to test a number of different workflow scenarios with ease.
“In order to effectively evaluate LED technology, you have to explore a lot of different types of settings that are available, such as frame rates and bit depths and brightness settings. Brompton has been helpful because it’s able to support all different types of incoming video signals, plus it comes with advanced feature sets that allow us to augment things like shutter angle, frame multipliers, or colour control. This all helps us play with what the LED looks like on camera, which is key, because it can look very different from how it looks to your eye,” Macauto shared.
