DEPENCE 2.2

German software developer, Syncronorm, presents a new update for its multimedia show design and visualisation software, Depence, which was engineered with a heavy focus on virtual live productions. To compensate for missing live events, Depence 2.2 comes with a powerful rendering engine, as well as efficient and easy to learn features to translate such events into the digital world. Depence is a modular built software, which pre-programs any kind of multimedia show in a realistic 3D environment. The rendering engine of Depence creates realistic shows of any kind, which can contain elements such as lighting, laser, special effects, water and fire effects, all in a detailed virtual world. Depence also allows the user to create all forms of stages imaginable, integrated in a naturalistic looking scene. Depence 2.2 comes with an all-new Mass Crowd Tool, which quickly fills a venue with a fully animated partying crowd. This digital crowd even has illuminated wrist bands, which can be virtually mapped with a video to bring it to life. The new depth of field feature, as well as the chromatic distortion effect guarantees a real-life like camera experience and can be used in combination with the already implemented camera keyframe features or DMX camera control. With Depence 2.2, Syncronorm now also offers NDI recording, a free international standard network protocol, and a feature which can be used to record an incoming NDI video signal together with DMX into a multimedia track. With the implementation of the support for various 3D tracking systems for virtual cameras such as PosiStageNet or SPNet Syncronorm also guarantees an effective camera workflow for any kind of virtual production or XR studio. Virtual camera tracking can help complex choreographies in fully digital environments. Together with many small additional software improvements and new support for virtual fixtures such as the Minuit Une IVL series, Depence 2.2 also fully supports RDM over the ArtNET 4 protocol to guarantee a stable and fast connection to any multimedia installation using this protocol.

LED P-DOT

For special applications like enlightening acrylic rods or creating hard shadows, there is a need for powerful LEDs. The new LED P-Dot by Schnick-Schnack-Systems can be easily controlled with, for example, RGB-video signals. Its four LEDs, red, green, blue and white, have been picked with meticulous discrimination to achieve lighting results of the highest quality. Some if the LED P-DOT’s features include: Advanced dimming and colour-management algorithms; Dimming ratio > 1:10.000 resulting in dimming starting below 0.01%; More than 16 Bit internal dimming resolution per channel; Advanced RGB to RGBW colour space conversion based on the individually measured physical characteristics of each LED; Typically <3sdcm colour drift at the white point; CRI Ra typically about 90 at warm white; Ultra-blue LED for intense and saturated colours; and availability with 6,500K or 3,000K white points as standard. Other colour temperatures are easily achieved on request.
