First showing at BSC Expo in London this week
London, England, Thursday 15th Feb, 2024: Accsoon’s SeeMo Pro SDI monitoring/recording/streaming adapter for iOS and Accsoon’s new CineView HE wireless camera video transmitters will power Lightcraft Technology’s Jetset Cine virtual production system – being shown in England for the first time at the British Society of Cinematographers Expo at the Battersea Evolution in London.
The real-time pre-visualization of Lightcraft's Jetset Cine is enabled by Accsoon's SeeMo
The camera operator can also view a real-time pre-visualisation on the iPhone screen
Lightcraft’s Jetset Cine turns any cinema camera into a fully-tracked virtual production system using an iPhone mounted on the camera and an Accsoon SeeMo HDMI or HD-SDI input for the iPhone. The Accsoon SeeMo provides real-time video feed from the main camera into the iPhone that Jetset uses for tracking. By comparing the elements seen in both video feeds, Jetset Cine can create an accurate camera offset and lens calibration in minutes.
A final composite image achieved using Lightcraft Jetset
Lightcraft Jetset Cine offers the lowest latency in the industry. Most systems rely on external GPU-based rendering systems, incurring delays in output, processing, and return to the camera. By contrast, Lightcraft renders the background right on the iPhone, completing the render in a single frame. The minimal delay means cinematographers using Jetset Cine sense a tight connection between the generated background and the live foreground.
The Accsoon SeeMo Pro and iPhone running Lightcraft Jetset
Responding to cinematographers' needs for a quick preview of the final composite without sacrificing low-latency rendering, Jetset Cine introduces the Live Render Preview feature. This feature feeds tracking information to Unreal, enabling Lightcraft's back-end pipeline, Autoshot, to create a keying and compositing function in Unreal's Composure tool. The result is a full-quality render and composite that allows cinematographers to assess lighting, composition and the match between foreground and background in real-time.
Two Accsoon CineView HE long-range transmitters will be used in the demonstration to deliver the iPhone and main camera signals to the switcher in the booth. The CineView HE transmitters and receivers are dual-band and deliver the same image simultaneously over each band, intelligently recombining both in the receiver to combat interference on either band.
Lightcraft Jetset expands the ever growing SeeMo ecosystem
Lightcraft joins a growing list of partners that have integrated SeeMo into their workflows. The versatility of integrations like Jetset, Frame.io, CameraFi, Switcher Studio and more demonstrates just how Accsoon’s SeeMo technology changes the game. Bringing SDI and HDMI video into iOS, SeeMo is at the center of a new set of powerful creative tools.
About SeeMo HDMI and SeeMo Pro SDI/HDMI
The SeeMo HDMI and SeeMo Pro SDI/HDMI are the world’s first affordable professional MFi-certified SDI and HDMI adapters that act as video capture terminals for iOS, connecting via Lightning or USB-C. The low latency, high-quality image (up to 1080/60P) that they produce easily betters camera-makers’ in-built Wi-Fi monitoring solutions.
The SeeMo range makes full use of the amazing screens on the later generations of iPhones and iPads by transforming them into high-grade monitors. Using the Accsoon SEE app, users have access to a complete set of professional tools such as waveform, magnification, vectorscope, false color, peaking and audio level meters. They can apply custom LUTs, or use the onion skin image overlay to precisely line up their shots. There are even options to de-squeeze anamorphic video on-screen, or flip video to aid self-shooting.
The SeeMo Pro SDI can accept HD signals up to 1080p 60fps over either HD-SDI or HDMI from cameras, mixers, games consoles and wireless receivers. The HD-SDI input can also be looped out to allow connection to other downstream devices such as Accsoon’s own CineView SE and Quad SDI wireless transmitters.
The SeeMo HDMI costs $179 and SeeMo Pro SDI costs $349. For full details visit the Accsoon website.
Jetset Cine is priced at £80/month and £800/year and is available for download on the iPhone App Store.
