Programmable Effector MPES-FX01 MPE-200
Multi Image Processor
Programmable Effector Software
Offering superior flexibility to live production operators and technical directors, the Programmable Effector (the combination of MPE-200 hardware and MPES-FX01 software) helps create advanced and striking visual effects in many different applications sporting events, entertainment, news programs, house-of-worship productions, and more. To further inspire creativity and originality, Sony is proud to introduce new features to its MPES-FX01 software. With these software enhancements, the Programmable Effector delivers real-time rendering of 3D computer graphic (CG) images with up to four video inputs. Added to this, producers can apply striking visual effects. For example, they can link CG and live video, which then move freely together. With creative image transitions and mapping, they can also develop gripping, high-impact openings. This latest software also improves production workflow, saving time and cost particularly when producers want to modify visual effects in a studio control room or outside broadcast (OB) vehicle, using tools such as Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max.. With all these capabilities and more, the innovative Programmable Effector delivers the flexibility, operability, and performance required for a broad range of live production applications.
