Ghostframe Studio Alpha
In cooperation with our partner AGS, we tested and applied the new and innovative Ghostframe technology in our XR+ studio. GhostFrame ensures that several interlaced signals are displayed on the LED wall. On the one hand, this technically ensures that only one of the image signals for the people in the studio can be seen on the LED wall, but on the other hand the camera can see all the signals on the LED wall, even the hidden ones.
With this setup, the GhostFrame application can therefore display completely different image content on the LED wall than is shown in the broadcast signal. One of many possible uses: The actors in front of the cameras can be supported editorially by displaying background material or additional text that the TV audience does not see. Product information, for example, can be displayed in the broadcast signal instead. This also opens up the possibility of generating several different broadcast signals in one production: in one take, for example, you could ensure that overlaid graphics are labelled in different languages - live.
However, one of the hidden signals on the LED wall is not intended as an image background, but is a pattern of tracking markers. The small tracking cameras, which are mounted below the studio lenses, are synchronised so that they only see these markers. This means that as soon as the studio camera is pointed in the direction of the people acting in front of the LED wall, tracking markers are automatically available. This speeds up the setup and ensures very precise tracking data. GhostFrame opens up "hidden tracking", so to speak.
TVN SOLUTIONS is an integration partner for Ghostframe and will also be happy to install this technology in your studio.
