VERTICALLY ALIGNED

Vertically configured cameras for seamless Unreal MetaHuman Animation compatibility

DUAL CAMERAS

Dual cameras recording high-quality, noise-free videos at speeds of up to 60fps. Featuring a sharp 1600 x 1200 resolution

NO MOTION BLUR

With exceptionally fast shutter speeds ranging from 1/6600 sec to 1/13300 sec, we eliminate motion blur and ensure sharp 3D reconstruction of facial geometry.

VARIABLE FRAME RATES

We adapt frame rates to suit each project, from 60fps on games to 48fps for 24fps feature films.

HARDWARE
SYNCHRONIZED

The Global Shutter cameras are hardware synchronized, making 3D reconstruction a breeze.

ACTOR COMFORT

Individually customizable helmets with NASA foam for performer comfort and camera stability. The open design accommodates various actor hairstyles.

PRODUCTION PROVEN

Over 50+ successful shoot days on AAA games and animated feature films

LIGHTWEIGHT

The industry's lightest dual-camera helmet, a featherweight at just 385g.

CLEAR VIEW

Cameras mounted on a steady single arm offer an unobstructed view of the actor's face from one side, enabling the witness cameras to capture the entire performance.

STROBE LED

Syncing our LED strobe lights with the camera shutters significantly minimizes the amount of light directed into the performers' eyes.

IR OR VISIBLE LIGHT

We adapt to project needs, using either infrared or warm visible light.

MARKERLESS

Embrace shadowless videos, no more painted face markers needed on actors.

POWERFUL LED

External light sources have no impact on us thanks to our powerful LEDs, resulting in shadowless faces that significantly improve 3D reconstruction.

TIMECODE BUILT IN

Synching to the master timecode ensures all HMCs stay synchronized with the entire production. Additionally, our built-in TC multiplier allows seamless synchronization with 24fps projects while capturing in 48fps.

ONBOARD RECORDING

Videos are recorded on a 1TB SSD drive onboard, while also being streamed over Wi-Fi, ensuring unparalleled scalability and reliability

SCALABILITY

Simultaneously controlling all seven HMCs from a single station transforms capturing large, complex scenes into a seamless experience.

REMOTE CONTROLLED

We monitor battery life, Timecode, temperature, fan speed and more in real-time.

CONFIDENCE MONITORING

Effortlessly monitor all HMC feeds in real-time over WiFi and share selected feeds with the Editorial team when production requires it
