Post Picks: Ncam Reality 2019.1 Software Release - Honorable Mention

Ncam Technologies (www.ncam-tech.com), developer of real-time augmented reality technology for the media and entertainment industries, revealed the latest version of its camera tracking solution, Ncam Reality 2019.1, at the 2019 NAB Show. 

The major new release includes more than 80 new features as well as significant system optimization for improved performance and enhanced capabilities. Ncam has added support for the Extreme Camera Bar, an additional camera bar that enables users to track environments that are subject to dynamic lighting changes. This new bar is particularly useful for productions using practical effects, explosions, moving lights and fast-lighting changes.

Lens profiling and calibration of the original Ncam Reality camera bar has also been refined to improve tracking quality and speed up the setup process. The number of supported video capture cards has also increased with the addition of support for Blackmagic Design’s DecLink SDI 4K video card supplementing the existing support for AJA Corvid 44 and Kona 4 video cards.

“This new release offers smart and efficient solutions to many of the common challenges faced by AR users, as well as providing a raft of new features that will greatly enhance AR projects, whether for VFX pre-visualisation, real-time VFX, virtual production or live, real-time broadcast graphics,” says Nic Hatch, CEO, Ncam.
