3D I/O module for 3D rigs metadata
Element Technica (Culver City, CA, USA)announces the release of its new Input/Output Modules that provide a "metadata traffic control center" for capturing, recording and transmitting critical static, semi-static and dynamic metadata reliably and accurately.
The new module takes rig control metadata, 6-Axis LCS metadata (ET 6 Axis LCS or Preston or C-Motion) and almost any other metadata stream from a VFX tracking system or encoded camera support like Louma Crane or Techno-Dolly. These three streams are combined at up to eight samples per frame in the ET metadata protocol as a single timecode stamped sample.
This stream is always recorded to the on-board microSD card but is also available to stream to cameras like the Epic for recording in the R3D file structure (Sony is currently working to add support for ET metadata so that it can be recorded with the image data). Users can interface the I/O Module through Element Technica PC application, the Metadata Viewer.
