Mo-Sys integrates StarTracker into Assimilate's Live FX system

StarTracker camera tracking solution Mo-Sys Engineering becomes fully compatible with Live FX software Assimilate, which allows creating content in virtual production environments in a “faster” way.

By combining the software Live FX, which enables real-time compositing for virtual productions based on green screens and LED walls on set, with Mo-Sys StarTracker, the result is a comprehensive software solution for all types of virtual production workflows. Among other features, the solution allows users to compose efficiently and accurately 2D and 3D elements in live camera feed, control (and color) LED walls, control the stage lighting Depending on the content of the image, use Live FX como un simple keyer in green screen scenarios, and link it with Unreal Engine if required.

According to one's own Mon-Sys, both companies have a similar approach, allowing filmmakers and artists to work “in a way that is familiar to them” rather than adapting to a program environment within Unreal Engine (or other game engines).

Michael Geissler, CEO of Mon-Sys, is excited to offer customers “access to a complete solution to accurately deliver high-quality tracking data and compositing assets directly to VFX/post workflows.” On the other hand, Jeff Edson, general director of Assimilate, considers that the union of Live FX y StarTracker “creates an unbeatable, highly precise live compositing system with a streamlined connection to post-production.”
