NAB 2024: Disguise to preview Porta update
Visitors to NAB 2024 will be the first to get an early preview of the latest Porta broadcast graphics controller release from Disguise, which has been upgraded for Unreal Engine 5.4. They will also be able to get hands-on with the company’s end-to-end XR and VP technology at six exhibition stands across the show floor.
Together with our Creative Services division Meptik, Disguise will also be part of several speaker sessions on topics including digital twins, AR graphics, virtual production and ST 2110 with partners such as WWE, Nvidia and the Portland Trail Blazers.
“From the Olympics to the elections, this is a big year for broadcasters. Teams need to tell data-driven stories more efficiently, while still increasing audience engagement figures,” said Disguise general manager for broadcast, Grigory Mindlin. “At this year’s NAB, we want to show how we can help with a graphics-first approach. Featuring capacity for unlimited LEDs, native Unreal Engine integration and easy stage pre-vis and control; our end-to-end broadcast solution makes any idea possible. And, if you need fast results, our Creative Services team can bring visuals to life for you — so you can show audiences something they’ve never seen before.”
A show highlight will be an early preview of the latest Porta graphics and media controller, which makes it easier to manage LED XR and AR productions without extensive technical expertise. With Porta, broadcasters can control all their Unreal Engine graphics and LED studios through a single user interface — on the cloud or, thanks to the latest update, on-prem.
With support for the upcoming Unreal Engine 5.4 release, including the dedicated Unreal Engine motion graphics toolset, Porta will bring broadcasters optimised performance including data feed integrations and media asset management.
Elsewhere on the showfloor, Disguise VX 4+ and VX 2 servers as well as RX II render nodes will power two LED stages on the Roe Visual booth, while Aoto and Red will be highlighting how Disguise enables cinematic virtual production with unlimited LED content display and control.
