In their own words
Brainstorm InfinitySet
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.
Zero Density Reality
Zero Density Reality 5 is a real-time graphics platform for virtual studios, augmented and extended reality, on-air graphics, and videowall production. Its workflow brings together Unreal Engine ZD Version, NODOS, and Reality Hub for content creation, compositing, and live playout. NODOS processes real-time video I/O and logic in a node-based compositor separate from Unreal Engine. Reality Hub provides browser-based control; shop bundles specify Chrome or Edge on a modern computer without a client installation. The Lino workflow lets designers create a graphic template for use across shows and channels. Reality Hub can ingest data from web services, databases, XLSX files, and CSV files, and the platform supports newsroom, automation, and custom integrations. NODOS lists support for FreeD, Xync, Mo-Sys, Stype, and Telemetrics tracking protocols. The Open Studio License Program offers no-cost access to eligible applicants, subject to approval and conditions. Paid bundles include the On-Air Graphics option at $4,888 a year and the Augmented Reality option at $16,992 a year; bundle capabilities vary. The platform lists Linux, macOS, web, and Windows support.
