High-speed imaging specialist Emergent Vision Technologies is combining its camera systems and proprietary software platform, eCapture Pro to record uncompressed video from over 500 synchronised cameras without a single frame drop.
As volumetric video and 4D performance capture move from labs into real-world production, the technical demands on capture infrastructure have increased. Resolution and frame rates are going up, but so are expectations around reliability, flexibility and real-time access to data.
eCapture Pro handles real-time sync, preview, capture and GPU-based processing with a high level of stability. It receives content from Emergent’s high-speed cameras, including the widely deployed HB-25000-SB, offering 25 megapixels at 100fps over 25GigE, and the upcoming HZ-25000-SB, which pushes the same resolution beyond 390fps via a 100GigE interface.
By controlling the entire chain from the camera sensor to network transport and host memory access, Emergent claims to ensure that data integrity, timing and throughput are maintained. For studios, this promises more time spent on creativity and post-production, and less time dealing with technical limitations.
