XR / LED Volume Toolset

For Extended Reality (XR) and LED Volume scenarios, Nodos uses the CurveXR node and automated color profiling tools to manage the digital stage and color accuracy. The CurveXR node builds a digital version of the physical LED stage. It handles different shapes, including convex, concave, or custom curves. You can adjust these shapes using simple settings directly in the nodegraph, which removes the need for manual 3D modeling or UV mapping.

Watch the following video to see XR, AR graphics, Portal Window, and Set Extension in action:

Rendering Efficiency

Nodos uses an inner/outer frustum rendering method. Both are processed by one engine, which avoids the need for a complex network of multiple rendering engines.

Color Profiling

The toolset includes automated color profiling to for Curved LED and XR scenarios to ensure that the output from the Engine matches the physical spectral characteristics of the LED panels and the physical camera in your studio. By integrating these tools directly into the nodegraph, Nodos automates the complex stages of color profiling.

Portal Window

Portal Window is a specialized feature that turns a physical video wall (or LED screen) into a "portal" to a virtual 3D environment. Instead of simply displaying a 2D background, the Portal Window follows the perspective of the camera with tracking. As the camera moves, the virtual scene displayed on the LED wall shifts accordingly. This creates the effect of the physical wall being a transparent opening into a much larger 3D environment.

Set Extension

Set Extension is the technique of digitally expanding the physical studio set beyond its real, limited boundaries and making a small physical space look much larger, deeper, or more immersive on camera. The Portal Window allows the talent to appear as if they are standing in a massive virtual stadium or landscape, even if the physical LED wall is small.

Portal Window + Set Extension

This combination allows for dynamic interactions, such as virtual objects (like a Formula 1 car) "driving" from the virtual set extension onto the LED wall and appearing to pass behind the talent.
