In their own words
Disguise Designer
Disguise Designer creates a digital replica of a production environment for planning, visualising, sequencing, and controlling content. It supports pitch creation, camera fly-throughs, content validation, technical setup testing, and experience design. Its real-time 3D visualiser can represent productions in different codecs, resolutions, and colour spaces. Content mapping covers shaped LED screens, projectors, UV mapping, dynamic blends, and large projection canvases. Playback supports formats including NotchLC, ProRes, HAP, uncompressed codecs, image sequences, and local or remote HTML5 content. RenderStream integrates with Unreal Engine, Notch, Unity, TouchDesigner, and Volinga NeRFs. Multi-Edit enables simultaneous project editing, while Multi-Transport can run multiple timelines in response to external cues. Control options include DMX, SMPTE timecode, MIDI, OSC, FreeD, and named tracking systems. A free Starter plan supports learning, training, testing, and project development without connecting to Disguise servers; Pro costs $159/month. The user guide specifies 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and DirectX 11.
