Disguise is debuting new updates to its toolset and collaborating with Smart Monkeys, Planar and more, to give InfoComm attendees a hands-on look at where live entertainment and immersive attractions are heading.
A new version of Mapping Matter, Disguise’s projection mapping solution, will be exclusively announced and available for demo at the show. The web-based application, which enables users to visualise their projection projects and configure optimum setups, now comes with a range of new features designed to make project planning easier than ever before. Updates include an extended projector library, the option to integrate LED tiles and projection mirrors and the ability to add layers to the project file to easily compare setups. Showgoers are invited to drop in for a demo of the new Mapping Matter features at 2pm on Wednesday 17 June at Disguise’s meeting room, located at N7568-MR.
At Smart Monkeys Inc. booth N7214, Disguise will demonstrate its upcoming integration with ISAAC, a platform that allows users to access, operate and maintain their AV system from a web browser, providing a simplified show control platform for complex systems. Disguise’s integration with ISAAC, including content management system (CMS), scheduling and infrastructure monitoring components, allows both technical and non-technical users to operate and monitor Disguise systems with ease alongside their wider AV system, removing the need for 24/7 on-site monitoring. The CMS integration means that if a venue, attraction or event requires new content, anyone can manage, distribute and schedule that content to play back either on site or remotely, significantly improving ease of use and the overall operator experience.
Two upcoming Disguise Designer software features, developed to further improve operational ease, will also be available for a demo at the Smart Monkeys booth. The Looks feature is a new track type in Designer consisting of a single section and any number of layers, allowing users to expose the properties used by its layers, such as content and brightness, and enabling these parameters to be adjusted via API endpoints. The Compositions feature creates a transportable package representing everything specified by a Look for playback, and will include a series of API endpoints to support media lifecycle management, including export, import and deletion from a Designer project. These workflows and their respective API endpoints showcase the future of content flexibility within video systems, allowing operators to make quick and easy content changes to their project file either within the Designer GUI or using third-party applications and controllers.
At Planar booth C7258, InfoComm showgoers will see how four Disguise servers, including the VX range, are powering Planar’s award-winning commercial display solutions. Disguise’s X1 software solution will also be on show at both the Planar and Smart Monkeys booths. The portable solution allows production teams to access Designer to build and deliver single-output shows and experiences from their laptop or hardware of choice, without the need for a dedicated Disguise media server. This allows teams to stay within the Disguise ecosystem when traveling or working on smaller shows instead of reprogramming on an alternative solution, saving significant time and simplifying logistics.
Beyond technology demos, Disguise will be hosting a series of speaking sessions at InfoComm during a Spotlight Stage takeover at Booth N6668.
