PL+S: CAST reveals latest BlackTrax features
- Details
The latest Version 2.3 of BlackTrax real time motion tracking system is being launched at the show and includes a number of significant new features.
“The number of partners demonstrating BlackTrax at Prolight + Sound is a strong indication of how widely accepted our solution is, and how rapidly it is succeeding,” says Andrew Gordon, director of business development for BlackTrax. “BlackTrax can bring a radically new dimension to any production, live performance or broadcast and more. Even in the most complex, most demanding shows, everything is where it needs to be, on time, every time, enabling a show to move to a whole new level.”
To illustrate BlackTrax’s extensive diversity and importantly the challenging and dynamic ways in which it can be deployed, at prolight + sound, a compelling three-minute demonstration will be designed to showcase BlackTrax’s many tracking capabilities. The performance will involve a dancer interacting with theatre-themed Ultra HD projected graphics on the back wall and the floor.
As well as the opportunity to get hands-on with BlackTrax, the stand will also provide the opportunity for visitors to experience the power and creative flexibility of the system in a role-playing dueling game that sees the first ever integration of BlackTrax with the Unity game design and development platform.
The on-stand demonstration features solutions from disguise (formerly d3 Technologies) and Notch for projected- and live-generated content; projectors from Panasonic; PTZ cameras from Panasonic and Bradley Engineering to track the dancer; and spatial sound integration from L-Acoustics.
BlackTrax will present a free to attend presentation Tracking and Automation: Shaping the future of industry, taking place on Friday, 13 April.
Another key focus on the booth will be wysiwyg Version R40 and a sneak peek of the soon to be released wysiwyg R41, the company’s all-in-one lighting design software,
Throughout the show, CAST will host daily prize draws including BlackTrax branded merchandise and the opportunity to win a wysiwyg lease licence.
