EX 3 Overview
The EX 3 is a powerful video playback solution specifically designed for fixed installations and location-based experiences.
The EX 3 is a powerful video playback solution specifically designed for fixed installations and location-based experiences (LBX). These immersive spectacles can be located in theme parks, museum and visitor attractions, and architectural spaces with the intention of offering a shared experience for their audiences. Global audiences who want to attend unique experiences in the physical world, and then be able to share that experience in the digital world.
Location based experience - Illuminarium
It harnesses the power and scalability of Designer to visualise, design and sequence shows of varied complexity, with pixel-perfect 3D visualisation.
Technical Overview
The EX 3 features 3x DisplayPort 1.4 outputs for 4K video within a 2U chassis.
It also includes sufficient networking capabilities for fixed installations with the inclusion of dual 1GbE, 10GbE and 25GbE ports.
What’s Different?
The EX 3 has been designed specifically for video playback, and as a result there is no physical video inputs or audio inputs and outputs on the EX 3. There is no support for inputting video via USB devices on the EX 3. Users can feed a NDI video signal into the EX 3, and there will be future support for a ST 2110 video signal input. USB Audio Interfaces can also be used if needed.
The EX 3 can be used as a Director, Actor, Understudy and Editor within a d3net session with other EX 3 only. The EX 3 will not be able to be used within the same d3net session as other machines in the pro range (vx or gx).
The EX 3 does not support VFC cards.
There is also an optional real-time connector licence to be purchased if a user wishes to run generative content on their EX 3, including a Notch block. There is also no support for RenderStream, ACES mode or mixed reality set extension within the EX 3.
EX 3 and the Disguise Platform
The EX 3 can be used alongside Designer’s new APIs to let developers easily build custom solutions and workflows for non-specialist users, in addition to both OSC and DMX for external triggers.
The EX 3 can also be used alongside Disguise Cloud to collate project content from one place, as well as access and share 3D visualisations via Previz.
OmniCal, our camera-based projector calibration system, can be combined with the EX 3 for accurate alignments on a fixed installation projection.
