REALITY LIVE Ncam Reality real-time camera tracking enables live virtual broadcast graphics in studio or outside broadcast, including installation on a handheld, Steadicam, Jib and cable-based systems. The Ncam Reality camera tracking system Rapid setup and workflow features a multi-sensor camera bar that is Ncam Reality’s user-friendly interface enables easily mounted on the camera and provides the fast configuration of an automated origin, axis real-time data to the Ncam tracking server. alignment. Operators can also use the intuitive image-based modelling module for manual Ncam Reality provides full position, placement.Ncam supports all production-proven orientation information, plus focal and industry-standard broadcast graphics engines, either via the Free-D protocol or Ncam’s SDK. length and focus, via industry-standard protocols compatible with any VR/AR Integrated lens profiling graphics system. It is suitable for a wide High accuracy lens profiling that produces range of applications both indoors and proprietary lens distortion models for all lens types outdoors, across all camera rigs and even via in-built lens profiling module. Ncam Reality handheld or Steadicam or others. can import pre-existing Open CV lens profiles and export to your preferred graphics engine. Instant real-time tracking Lens encoding No need for time-consuming system calibration, Focal length and focus values are combined within surveys, training and learning of environment. the camera bar by using external encoders or direct data from Canon/Fujinon digital virtual ports via Multi-sensor hybrid technology smart encoder cable. For a robust solution in mission-critical situations, Ncam combines patented multi-sensor Technology. Advanced SDK for custom integration Ncam does not rely on simple optical-only solutions. The revolutionary and advanced SDK enables a rich real-time tracking data stream including timecode, Live Markerless Tracking optical parameters, distortion maps (distorted/ No need for adding markers on the floor, ceiling or undistorted) and active camera telemetry and studio/pitch. Ncam’s unique tracking technology lens profile/models (optical parameters). identifies for patterns and areas of contrast generating 3D tracking points and historical point Copper or fiber connectivity clouds - all in real-time. Ncam’s camera bar data is sent down a single Cat-6 Gigabit Ethernet cable or converted using an Ethernet to Fiber Converter or Extender.
