xR is a type of virtual production technology that integrates virtual reality and extended reality, simulating the effect of a real scene in a virtual 3D space. Compared with traditional green screen production, it can reduce complicated post-production work, and at the same time allow actors to interact with the virtual elements of the scene, helping achieve a more realistic and natural production effect. Owing to the advantages of self illumination and simulation of real light and shadow reflection, recent years have seen rapid growth in LED display applications in the virtual production sector.
xR Solution-VMP+MX40 Pro + A10s Pro
NovaStar’s xR solution is specially designed for camera shooting scenarios, and can effectively solve problems with black field and scan lines. This solution features industry-leading image boosting technology, which helps users create shooting scenes more comparable to real environments. This solution is driven by NovaStar’s all-new LED control platform VMP, which integrates design, monitoring, and management, bringing users the ultimate control experience.
xR Workflow
Key Features
Frame Multiplexing
Supports frame multiplexing allowing users to reframe multiple video feeds in the same time field. Utilizing the camera’s genlock phase offset, it becomes possible to output multiple effects simultaneously within a single shooting scene, improving work efficiency and reducing cost.
Shutter Fit
Supports synchronization of LED display refresh rate and camera shutter parameters, allowing the LED display to automatically adapt to camera expo- sure time and frequency, alleviating scan lines.
Phase Offset
Adjusting the output phase offset value allows the LED display and camera to perfectly match. This helps prevent black field and image tearing from being captured by the camera when shooting the LED display.
HFR
Supports high frame rates up to 120Hz, 144Hz, or even 240Hz. This allows smooth representation of video featuring high-speed moving objects.
Color Replacement
Supports unrestricted color replacement, with minimal impact on other colors.
14CH Color Correction
Precise adjustment of hue, saturation, and brightness of primary, secondary and tertiary colors, with basic adjustment of black and white, ensuring perfect colors that retain their intended beauty.
Color Curve + 3D LUT
Curve adjustment and importing of 3D LUT files let you manage color in creative and artistic ways, just like a Hollywood colorist.
Contrast + Black level
Allows independent adjustment of highlights and shadows by contrast and black level, avoiding overexposure in bright content but delivering rich details in dark content.
Scenario Presets
Different display requirements are necessary to meet the needs of different shooting scenarios. Presets allow users to save settings in advance, including brightness, color temperature, gamma, and more, all retrievable with a single button press.
Dual Image Booster
The all-new MX series solution is equipped with Image Booster 2.0 and Dynamic Booster technologies, which can improve the performance of grayscale, color and contrast ratio, creating an immersive view to fulfill the requirements necessary for xR applications.
