AV Stumpfl presents uncompressed 8K & show control solutions at IAAPA
By amusementtoday | November 18, 2016
ORLANDO, Fla. – This November, AV Stumpfl is exhibiting the Wings Engine Raw 8K uncompressed media server for the first time at Booth 1671 at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2016.
As attractions and theme parks work on new ways to excite audiences through gripping visual information, storytelling and creative use of immersive displays, the demand for truly reliable and uncompressed playout solutions is steadily growing.
To the delight of exhibit and content designers worldwide, the Wings Engine Raw 8K media servers are capable of displaying visuals using a full 12-bit color space, delivering more color information than the current media server standard. Additional show control options make the world of AV Stumpfl media server products perfect for creating integrated and hassle free workflows.
Working with uncompressed image sequences can sometimes be time consuming due to the exceptionally large file size. In order to make it easier to transfer such files at short notice, AV Stumpfl’s Wings Vioso RX software has integrated a new workflow model. Working with massive file sizes has never been easier. All Wings Engine Raw media servers now come with Dual 10 GBit network cards. In addition to this, AV Stumpfl also offers certified NAS (network attached storage) systems as well as certified 10 GBit switches for flawless operation. The Wings Vioso RX software now features a dedicated data management and transfer system that does not require all data to be physically copied onto a “Master” server. Instead, data can be copied to the NAS and assigned as so called “Proxy Objects” in the timelines. All “Slave” servers can now get their content directly from the NAS systems.
A powerful real-time pixel mapping engine has just been added to the Wings Vioso RX software platform (available for all Wings Engine media servers). The mapping matrix can be imported from CSV tables for real-time editing.
During the IAAPA Attractions Expo, Matt Finke, founder of the acclaimed show and lighting design company Loop Light, takes visitors on a journey into the world of Wings. The award winning designer shares insights and his first-hand experiences in live event production environments. Loop Light has worked on several exciting live event presentations to date using Wings Engine Raw.
Finke will present the very latest Wings developments, including the Avio Manager combined with the Wings Touch’s new master pages. They promise to reduce the time taken to create a user interface and connections needed to run a presentation system more smoothly.
