AV Stumpfl will present its new PIXERA v1.8 media server software at this year’s InfoComm, held Oct. 27-29 in Orlando, FL. One of the key additions to the media server system is the introduction of a new show control solution, PIXERA control.

This distributed integration and control framework empowers users to seamlessly host new functionalities within PIXERA and to control all aspects of an extended project environment. Anything a user creates and integrates can be distributed across the connected systems and shares itself.

Third-party systems can communicate directly with the PIXERA API via dedicated “modules”, like in the case of Beckhoff automation technologies.

The PIXERA control integration with Smart Monkey’s ISAAC Workspace, which provides a unified programming and front-end client interface for ProAV installations. ISAAC events can be created and synched with the ISAAC calendar directly from within the PIXERA control interface. It is even possible to pass variables to ISAAC and create a UI that can then be displayed right within ISAAC Workspace.

As well as offering updated and enhanced timeline controls, PIXERA version 1.8 also opens the doors for realizing virtual production setups that feature XR (extended reality), AR (augmented reality), and/or MR (mixed reality) components.

One key development in this context is “resource as compositing”. This new workflow feature empowers PIXERA users to employ and interact with 3D worlds originating with other software environments (e.g. Unreal, Unity, Notch, etc.) in a simple and extremely effective way, according to the company.

Navigating inside the preview, editing perspectives inside the virtual world and a host of other functionalities are now all possible by using familiar PIXERA tools.
