Accessible virtual production tools are on show in Hall 7, with Aximmetry unveiling Instant and Wizard, two products designed to lower the barrier to entry.
Designed for simplicity and speed, Aximmetry Instant allows creators to launch a fully functional 3D virtual studio by placing their talent in front of a green screen, pointing their camera at the screen, and tapping a button to create their composition. Aximmetry Wizard is a guided setup tool that facilitates the configuration of any virtual studio project by guiding users through only the essential settings.
Orsolya Dormon, Chief Operations Officer, Aximmetry, said: “We’re showing two VP set-ups at IBC, one entry level and one pro, and how these can be combined to offer an exciting broadcast solution. Aximmetry Wizard makes setting parameters for virtual production much simpler, and we’re excited to see so much interest in the product at IBC.”
Aximmetry’s flagship broadcast and film licence is priced at €4,990 and includes full Unreal Engine integration, a chroma keyer, and full toolkit for green screen, XR, AR, and broadcast graphics.
