Brainstorm InfinitySet vs CineBridge

Brainstorm InfinitySet is a Windows 11 virtual production system for broadcast and studio workflows, including extended reality, augmented reality, greenscreen and live compositing. Its patented TrackFree technology combines tracked, trackless and fixed cameras within one production. Rendering can use Brainstorm’s eStudio engine, Unreal Engine, or a combined workflow. LED-based XR workflows include non-flat LED walls through CAVE Crosspoints. InfinitySet integrates Aston projects and StormLogic, supports 2D and 3D graphics with external data input, and connects with broadcast hardware through GPI and industry-standard protocols. Operators can control playout remotely using HTML5 Web Control in a desktop browser or tablet. Recommended systems include NVIDIA RTX GPUs and 32GB or 64GB RAM. Two configurations are described: Infinity Set and Infinity Set +Track, with prices available on request.

CineBridge is Take4D’s Windows software and hardware solution for virtual production and advanced cinematography workflows. CineBridge MoCo lets crews design, simulate, test, and program camera moves on robotic platforms, with compatibility listed for Mark Roberts systems, Kuper Controls, General Lift, Pacific Motion, and Kuka. LiveTracker supports camera tracking with laser tracking, cranes, motion-control systems, optical motion capture, Xbox controllers, and MEMS devices; its delay from the camera shutter can be as little as 4 nanoseconds. Compo provides on-set compositing with video capture, CGI rendering, lens correction, chroma-keying, colour correction, and synchronization. StreamLine plugins transfer data in real time to Unreal Engine, Unity, and MotionBuilder. Virtual cameras can match real cameras and lenses, while LiveTracker also offers field-of-view tracking. PoCoPin generates Nuke Corner Pin data for post-production. CineBridge supports LED-stage and greenscreen workflows. Windows 10 and 11 are listed, with OpenGL hardware-accelerated 3D requirements. CineBridge Playback is free and broadcasts UDP data files to Unity and Unreal; access to a main-application demo license requires contacting Take4D.
