Avolites Prism Zero simplifies video design in complex projects

New tool connects directly to lighting consoles Avolites Titan via an NDI connection and is controlled by Synergy settings.

Avolites has launched its new Prism Zero app that brings simplicity to complex video design and integration. This tool expands the range of live production tools along with significant updates to Prism Player. The new platform is ideal for premises, corporate events or art installations where there may not be a video specialist on site.

Prism Zero expands the suite of complementary tools to give designers a direct platform to integrate video into their projects. Building on the features of Prism Player 1.1, software allows media to be easily integrated, previewed, cut out and reproduced.

Prism Zero connects directly to Avolites Titan lighting consoles via an NDI connection and is controlled via Synergy settings on both platforms.

The reproduction, layer control (such as aspect ratio and color adjustment), Media transfer and pixel mapping can be controlled via Synergy for seamless integration of lighting and video.

Video can be pixel mapped, directly into color mixing devices. You can preview media clips in different codecs and convert them on the fly, even in the high quality AiM codec.

“Incorporating video into projects can be complex and time-consuming”, explica Paul Wong, CEO of Avolites. “Prism Zero provides the first step to integrating video into designs with a simple user interface and a powerful feature set that allows users to start bringing more complex elements to their shows without training.”.

Avolites has also announced that both Prism Zer and Player 1.1 will support natively, late this fall, NotchLC, a high-quality GPU-powered codec capable of being used for both mediating and playback.

It provides the equivalent of a precision of 10 bits in a debuggable codec that is extremely fast to encode and decode, with a compression ratio of around 5:1.

With the launch of Prism Zero, Avolites ecosystem approach to lighting and video integration gains traction. Artificial Intelligence is the main platform for more complex shows or the tool for video specialists. Prism has been created so that any designer can integrate video into their shows.

Prism Zero y Prism Player 1.1 They are standalone applications available for free download (both are compatible with Windows). Users will need an Avolites Editor AvoKey license or any Avolites Ai license to use Prism Zero.
