Switchblade M9 Integrated Virtual Production Solution
This high-performance portable desktop workstation comes pre-installed with Aximmetry Professional SE software. Design and render high-quality virtual sets for live broadcast or virtual production using Aximmetry’s powerful tools. Capture up 3 cameras over 3G-SDI or NDI for compositing live talent into your virtual set. Output 3G-SDI or NDI to broadcast monitors or other studio equipment. Stream your virtual studio production to YouTube, Facebook or any destination using the built-in streaming encoder. Drive large displays or projectors with integrated surface mapping features. Aximmetry powered by Switchblade gives you high-end virtual production capabilities at an amazing price!
