Light It Up.

Previzion was designed from the ground up to perform under the intense and unrelenting pressure of modern VFX production. From its high speed rendering engine, to its sophisticated integration of multiple data streams, to its extreme portability and rapid connection, Previzion helps you save time and money while enabling artistic freedom.

Stage Ready

Previzion works with the best kind of stage – the one you already have. Using a combination of passive optical targets and high accuracy inertial systems, Previzion integrates with standard production lighting and overhead structures. Learn more >>

Camera Compatible

The language of cinema is the camera move. Instead of using specialized encoded camera support equipment, Previzion works with nearly any type of equipment found on a stage – dolly, jib arm, tripod, Technocrane, handheld, Steadicam, cable rigs – if it moves, we can track it. Learn more>>

Lens Mapping

Modern productions use a vast variety of zoom and prime lenses. Previzion’s breakthrough on-location lens calibration enables accurate matching of lens focal length, focus distance, distortion, and entry pupil location, and even handles lens breathing. Learn more>>

Portable Operation

Leave shipping logistics behind with the extreme portability of the Previzion Portable and Lightcraft’s ultra-compact camera tracking sensors. You can literally fit the entire system into carry-on luggage space, making worldwide production a matter of showing up at the gate. Learn more>>

Robust Finish-Quality Keying

The foundation of integration between live action and virtual images is the keying process. From on-set diagnosis of background lighting variations, to enabling precise matching of subject lighting to the background composite, Previzion makes it possible. Learn more >>

Unified 2D/3D Rendering Architecture

Previzion’s core is a real time visual effects pipeline implemented completely on programmable hardware. Using a fusion of GPU, CPU, FPGA, and embedded processing, Previzion accesses the raw speed of hardware acceleration while remaining flexible to future expansion. Learn more >>

Photographically Accurate Depth of Field

Depth of field is an artistic tools as old as lenses. Previzion’s real time depth of field algorithm uses the actual focus distance and sophisticated circle of confusion calculations to generate a true depth of field effect that matches the optics of cine lenses. Learn more >>

Live HDSDI Video Texture

For live event productions and other applications requiring frame-accurate sync, Previzion supports a live HD video texture. Incoming video frames from the two genlocked HDSDI sources are kept synchronized through the entire processing and rendering pipeline. Learn more >>

Color Correction

Using high resolution background plates for reference, the live action lighting can be rapidly and accurately adjusted to match using the live composite preview. In practice, it is always useful to be able to do quick correction adjustments for the final detail matches. Learn more >>

HDSDI I/O

Previzion integrates seamlessly into existing high definition video production pipelines, natively supporting both 720p and 1080/23.976PsF and 1080/59.94i 4:2:2 Rec. 709 formatted signals. Previzion operates internally in a 32 bit floating point RGB color space to avoid losing information. Learn more >>

Programmable 3D Shading

The ability to hand-tune material lighting and shading models has been a fixture of feature film software rendering pipelines for twenty years. Finally, programmable shading and hardware rendering are no longer mutually exclusive. Learn more >>

Airtrack Precision Rotary Tracking

Handheld camera work provides immediacy and involvement for an audience. Before now, tracking handheld motion in real time has required the use of a full motion capture system, making it unusable on more traditional sets. The optional Airtrack module changes this permanently. Learn more >>

Intersense IS1200 Support

For the ultimate in unconstrained 6DOF tracking, add the Intersense IS1200 VisTracker. This compact optical-inertial tracking system uses overhead fiducial targets to derive the overall position and orientation of the camera inside a soundstage. Learn more >>

Integrated Character and Scene Animation

Previzion can render complete character and scene animation, using real time data driven by other applications on the stage, such as MotionBuilder. Learn more >>
