Ventuz

Key Advantages:

• Get more done with less technical effort
• New options to distribute content on- and offscreen
• Unrivalled options to bring content to the screen without limitations in resolution, orientation, and pixel pitch
• Get rid of limitations of proprietary technology (Nvidia Mosaic/ AMD Eyefinity)
• Reduce invest in hardware
• Operate more sustainable (less hardware = less power consumption)

Key Features

1. CLUSTER IN A BOX

• Support for multiple GPUs* in a single workstation, where each physical GPU output can be treated individually as an independent display
• Several multi-GPU machines can be clustered together to unleash the combined power of all their GPUs

* 2 GPUs possible with Ventuz Enterprise + one of our Option Packs (EXTIO, BC 1,2,x). Up to 4 GPUs possible on request. Please contact our Sales team to obtain more detailed information.

2. MULTIPLE PARALLEL OUTPUTS

• Output content to any display via various GPU-ports such as DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C, in parallel you can
• Send any rendered content that is not directly output through the GPU as web-streams, SDI/NDI, or other signals, including Shared Textures for Director preview and program

3. MIXED RESOLUTIONS, ORIENTATIONS AND PIXEL PITCHES

• No need any more to set up displays with the same resolution, orientation, and pixel pitch
• No workarounds and external image processors needed to achieve a flexible output
• Freely mix and match different resolutions, orientations, and pixel pitches as required*

* Mixed resolutions might be dependent on the capabilities of your sync-board

4. MULTI-PIPE: OFF- AND ON-SCREEN CHANNELS AT THE SAME TIME

• Each pipe can load independent graphics scenes and send them to an output
• Pipe count no longer limited*
• Benefit from a mixed pipe scenario for on- and off-screen outputs
• Load one scene to any number of pipes to interact with it from multiple touch devices
• Output variations of the same scene with different designs or data, or just load individual scenes to each pipe

* Max. parallel pipe count is still set to 4 by standard but can be unlocked with Enterprise Option Packs (EXTIO, BC1,2,x)

5. MULTI OUTPUT: MORE PERFORMANCE THROUGH INSTANCING

• In a multi-output scenario, the scene will be instanced, meaning it will be loaded only one time.
• Render a scene and play out over multiple outputs or send via different streams like NDI/SDI
• Minimal impact on performance
• Separate content can be added through composition layers

6. MULTI-TOUCH

• Capture input from multiple touch devices with a single workstation
• Load individual scenes for each touch device, enabling isolated touch input per screen
• Load single scenes that can be controlled from multiple touch devices
• More functionality while lowering the entry barrier

7. MULTI-CAMERA-TRACKING

• Support for tracking data from more than one camera
• Output multiple AR/VR graphics from a single workstation
• Make setups less complicated, save rack space, reduce capital costs

8. MULTI-CANVAS & MULTI-COMPOSITION

• 3D Pre-Visualization: –

  First iteration of a new 3D model mapping and visualization tool for Ventuz Designer
  – Perfectly suited to preview and ensure that content is displayed perfectly on location
  – Import 3D models of a venue and map your graphics to the screen layout
  – Pre-visualization scene can even be experienced in VR
  – Accurate real-world scaling. Utilize real measurements to make precise adjustments

• Web-based Render Setup & Screen Configuration: –

  Allows for import of Previs Scenes and mapping of content to the physical outputs

  

  – Easily adjust and blend independent content
  – Configurations can now be edited and changed on the fly
  – No need to restart the render engine
  – Maximum flexibility to customize content layout according to project needs*
  – Migrate older setups to Ventuz 7 with ease

* Please still use our stand-alone Configuration Editor for final control of warping and blending. Expanded functionality will be added to the new web-based Configuration Tool in future releases.

9. HARDWARE ACCELERATED MOVIE DECODING (NVIDIA ONLY)

• Movie decoding in Ventuz now leverages Nvidia NVENC
• Offloads compute intensive tasks from the CPU to dedicated GPU hardware*
• Handles resolutions up to 8k60 per GPU, 10-bit color depth, 4:4:4 chroma subsampling
• As long as the sum of total decoded pixels is less than 8K60 you can mix and match different video combinations without loss in system performance

* Support for MPEG 1/2/4, VC1, H.264, HEVC, VP8/VP9, and AV1 video codecs. Pascal or later GPU generations required for HEVC/VP9 and at least Ampere for AV1
