GhostFrame
Revolutionizing on-set production
Created for film, broadcast, and event production teams, GhostFrame technology allows the camera to capture multiple content experiences, all from a single take.This is made possible by the fact that LEDs can refresh significantly faster than a camera, and even faster than the human brain can see images – allowing it to capture one or more sets of images while the naked eye only sees one.
GhostFrame technology is used to create on-set, real-time in camera VFX (ICVFX) workflows.
Creative workflows that can be achieved with this cutting-edge technology
Hidden Chroma Key
GhostFrame adds a full chroma frame within your video feed, which enables real-time matte replacement or safety shots for post
Embedded Camera Tracking
Markers can be embedded into the LED screen and hidden from the camera’s captured footage, requiring zero installation time through the absence of physical markers.
Multiple Video Feeds
Up to four* unique video feeds can be captured simultaneously - allowing for multiple camera perspectives, backgrounds, or lighting
*The number of sub-frame slices is dependent on the panel type used. Please contact us for more information.
Multiple sources. One video feed. Multiple outputs.
GhostFrame works by displaying more than just the video feed on the LED panel. This magic makes it possible for professional cameras to capture one or more sets of images while the naked eye only sees one. Due to the fact that the LED panels have extreme processing power no work-arounds are needed. You can have all GhostFrame features while sending normal frame rates in 4K and 8K formats.
Multiple Hidden Sources
The magic of GhostFrame’s patented process makes it possible to show several sets of full dynamic images on an LED screen simultaneously within a camera’s production frame. One or multiple cameras can now capture more sets of images while the naked eye only sees one. The GhostFrame™ technology is based on advanced nanosecond alignment of video subframes and the camera shutter. By controlling the LED panels subframe output, cameras can align the shutter angle and capture the desired moment in time within a frame.
Show the talent where the AR object is located. Have hidden autocue or director cues on your LED wall, only visible in the studio. Nothing is impossible. Creating multiple hidden sources with GhostFrame in one video feed gives production teams the freedom to operate without restrictions.
GhostFrame Enhances Your Workflow
What if you could reduce both set-up and production time. Save time in post-production. Make your crew comfortable with high-end workflows without the need for additional hardware or losing processing and pixel capacity? What if you could work in a zero-latency environment? GhostFrame does all that with LED enhancement. And More.
Technology Partners
ROE Visual's premium LED panels and Megapixel's HELIOS Processing Platform with exclusive features like GhostFrame have gained popularity in the XR broadcast market, especially for immersive and interactive sports, news- and election formats. Using GhostFrame technology, it's possible to demonstrate the added value of high-end LED performance and processing. Hidden frames and AR implementation for live XR broadcasts are only the beginning of this journey, as it's now possible to blend seamlessly between a range of virtual sets and data-driven graphics. No other solution in the industry can manage this challenge. GhostFrame software offers essential tools for producers to attract a new generation of viewers.
Megapixel
GhostFrame works with Megapixels HELIOS LED processing platform.
GhostFrame technology is enabled by a license key to a software tool set within Megapixel’s HELIOS LED Processing Platform.
ROE Visual
GhostFrame works with ROE Visual's LED panels. The performance of the LED panels is crucial, selecting the appropriate panel driver configuration and ensuring precise PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design is essential. This allows the panels to handle high data rates and maintain accurate timing, which is critical for sub-framing to function smoothly.
ROE Visual is the exclusive selling partner of GhostFrame for LED panel-based applications.
"The seamless interaction between the LED panel, media engines, LED processing, media play-out system, and camera tracking perfectly meets high-end broadcast requirements for today's immersive studio sets, fast graphics changes, AR implementation, and multi-frame use, as demonstrated by the BBC's UEFA project and this year's National Election program."
