MVP-100 support ADB-100, coming in next firmware release

ADB-100 is an additional, external audio module extending not only functionality of Reckeen 3D, but from now on also MVP-100.  With its built-in Audio Link interfaces this device can be installed directly at a studio as well as on stage. The use of RJ 45 cable and Audio Link technology enables transferring all inputs and outputs stream to greater distances (with a single RJ45 cable).

MVP-100 supports embedded audio and together with ADB-100, it has access to analogue audio input and output as XLR or MIC / Headphone, and also has the highest digital audio standard as AES / EBU signal quality (AES3).

IP or RS232 command in MVP-100

Now, you can use simple commands to program a function you need directly from the terminal or your application on MVP-100. The command can be sent via the RS232 or LAN port. Full list of available functions in published on Reckeen.com in the download section / MVP. The protocol is open and available to everyone.

Example usage of LAN TCP/ IP command on MVP device

MVP-100 can be accessed by TCP connection on port 5002. Default IP address is 192.168.1.10 when no DHCP server is available in local network or dynamic – IP address can be read by MVP-100 PC Update application.  MVP-100 accepts only one connection at a time.

Track rectangle as simple example - set rectangle at position

User screen resolution is always 8K apart from input signal resolution and selected output format. Maximum rectangle size is 7680×4320, minimum size is 256×144. For 4K input signals only one track per input can exceed Full HD resolution, e.g. if Track 1 rectangle size is bigger than 3840×2160, the sizes on Tracks 2 to 4 can be at most 3840×2160 (which is one quarter of 4K input, equal to Full HD). For HD input signals this limitation does not apply.

  • Starting frame – second quarter: x1 =3840, y1 =0 / x2 =7659, y2 =2159

Reckeen 3D Studio, choose from 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI models

At present Reckeen 3D Studio is available in two versions – with 3G and 12G speed. Version with speed of 12G SDI allows you to record, play and upload video materials in Ultra HD quality – that means the quality is four times better than traditional HD 1080, providing video resolution of 3849 x 2160. Simultaneously, 12G SDI remains compatible with all the SDI equipment. This technology is also implemented in MVP-100.

Reckeen LITE is now available in Ultra HD quality

We would like to proudly inform you that the 4K version of Reckeen LITE is now available in Ultra HD quality. Until now, the users of the LITE system had at their disposal the Full HD quality. Currently, you can enjoy the resolution of 2160p 30/25.

The LITE system is available in versions with SDI and HDMI inputs cards similar to the Reckeen 3D Studio system.

Features in 1.3.19745 version

The list of the most important new features in 1.3.19745 version of the Reckeen system along with their short description.

The more detailed information can be found in documentation and tutorial videos:

OUTPUT TRANSITION with Transitions FX

  • The following section introduces a new function called Transitions FX, that is special effects.
  • The Reckeen system has a 136 (Wipe, Slide and Alpha) database of ready-to-use effects divided into appropriate categories.

New Talent shadow and Talent's automatic pinning to the floor

  • RECKEEN 3D Studio system’s engine renders talent / presenter’s shadows in real-time.
  • Quality has been improved of talent shadow (floor level detection, talent shape shadow)

Reflections 4K

  • RECKEEN 3D Studio system renders real-time reflections from flat glossy surfaces.
  • These reflections change in accordance with altering position of the virtual camera.
  • 4K technology is a new standard for video images.  Now in 4k modes a new quality of reflections has been obtained.

Streaming on new platform

  • New streaming services added (Vimeo, DaCast, SmashCast, Twitch)

New content added

Scenography is one of the most influential elements of a virtual studio, its uniqueness will draw the audience’s attention and emphasize a character of a video material.

With RECKEEN 3D Studio, you get a ready-made designs package, but 3D Studio Editor and Studio Editor Wizard are also its integral parts.

  • With Wizard’s functionality, you can familiarize yourself with the basics of a process of creating virtual scenography.Now are available wizard projects with 45 templates, 633 decorations.
  • PBR (Physical Based Rendering) – scenography, architecture or equipment elements visible on the screen reflect properties of their real-world counterparts. Now 335 PBR materials are available.
  • The current content added to the system contains. For 3D studio 46 ready 3D set design, and for LITE there are 38 sets with more camera shoots (715 shoots in all LITE sets)

Demo sets support

RECKEEN started cooperation with a leading company involved in the creation of scenography, the result of this cooperation is 8 graphic projects made in the PBR technology for the 3D studio and LITE system. The current content includes these scenographies in the demo version. Now you can test them before making your purchase decisions.

NEW FEATURES IN RECKEEN LITE

  • From now all the set designs created for the LITE system are in 4k technology. The system provides support for earlier HD formats.
  • The LITE  has been expanded by PIP compositions.

Stability & optimization

We have fixed many bugs and improved the system’s quality and stability.

Features in 1.3 version

The list of the most important new features in 1.3 version of the Reckeen system along with their short description. The more detailed information can be found in documentation and tutorial videos:

Automatic firmware (VirtuMega hardware) update

This feature allows us to update the firmware on the user’s device automatically.

On the Startup Screen, the user will be notified that the newest version of software is available and, after it is downloaded, hardware will be detected and firmware updated if necessary.

Auto keyboard update

A similar function like in the VirtuMega hardware, which checks and auto-updates firmware for the connected VK-100 keyboard.

Full integration with VK-100

The new version supports all the keyboard functions (joystick, t-bar, …)

GPU performance measurement

We have added “Performance” button in 3D Editor which allows you to measure the current system performance (mainly GPU – graphics card performance).

This value depends on output video format, number of connected inputs, inputs’ format, enabled keys, media format, etc.

Therefore, in order to check whether 3D Set and current configuration is not overloaded, it should be used with actual working configuration.

4K p25/30 support

We support 2x4K p25/p30/p2997 inputs/outputs and media up to p30.
In the current version 4K p50/p60 is not supported.

Input overload detection

As there are limits to PCI-e transfers, we cannot support all the possible input formats configurations.

There are some limits. If the connected input exceeds the limits, an “overload” icon we will displayed on the input preview.

We support throughput up to 4xFUllHD p60, which means, for example:
– 4 x HD p60 are supported
– 2 x 4K p30 are supported (4Kp30 = 2 x HDp60)
– 1 x 4Kp30 + 2 x HDp60…
– …

New Talent shadow and Talent's automatic pinning to the floor

We have decided to prepare a dedicated shadow for the talent (different than the one for decorations), as problems with the Talent’s shadow had been encountered repeatedly.

We have added a possibility to render a kind of shape (spot/cross).

To use and test that feature, first you have to enable chroma key for the selected input, adjust it properly and then enable shadow for the scene and for the Talent object.

The input signal is analyzed and feet are detected to move the talent downwards to place the figure on the floor. There are 2 parameters, “Size” and “Shape”, in talent object properties and a global parameter to adjust the density of the talent’s shadow.

Audio Digital Box ADB 100 support

A dedicated audio mixer for external ADB hardware. It automatically detects the connected hardware and enables new inputs/outputs.

New content added

New 2D sets, 3D sets, 2D 4K sets, Wizard projects, videos, pictures, ….

Stability & optimization

We have fixed many bugs and improved the system’s quality and stability.
