Introducing our Products and their KEY Features

Perfect Media Playout: Playmaker

Playmaker and Backstage
The B7 Series is a complete range of audio and video
servers for uncompressed 4:4:4 media playback with up
to 120 FPS and 30 Bit color depth. The maximum internal
bandwidth is 12 GB/s. Up to 32K x 32K content resolution
can be processed in the media workflow. The units are able
to operate standalone or play synchronous to timecode
– that way any number of playback channels can be
perfectly synced. The Genlock option adds genlock inputs
to the servers for pixel synchronous video outputs. All
units support 2D image warping and blending. 3D mapping
can be realized through our Backstage tool. Backstage
supports dynamic warping and blending for projection on
moving objects. The complete range of audio options is
available: Analog, ADAT, MADI, AES, Dante – with up to 256
channels 48KHz or 128/96KHz. DVI, HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2
capture inputs are available as option. All B7 Series Servers
are running an embedded OS, which is write-protected
to ensure safe operation over years. All servers do have
redundant fans and can be equipped with redundant power
supplies Media Manager
Media Workflow with Media Manager
BRAINSALT covers the complete media workflow from simple single
channel playback up to any multi-channel and/or multiple server
system content distribution. Huge projects demand true flexibility
during their content creation and loading phase. Our system allows
content creators to load media on a “per frame” or “shot” basis.
Furthermore, it is possible to provide shots in different resolutions:
for example starting with low resolution and step by step exchange
shots with high resolution content.
Our Media Manager and server system is capable of handling
such complex workflows. It allows creating playlists on a “per
frame” basis: single frames can be replaced or the movie can be
organized in shots. It also supports versioning and the quick switch
from one to another version of a shot. It is perfectly prepared for
truly demanding projects.

Everything under Control: CONDUCTOR
Conductor with Show
Controllers and I/O Modules
Most media based attractions require running effects synchronous
to video playback. BRAINSALT created a truly incredible solution
called Conductor. Interfacing through our ProCommander show
controllers and Pro I/O Modules nearly anything can be controlled
in the real world. Conductor provides an easy to use interface and
supports various different programming interfaces like keyboard,
mouse, joystick, midi faders with force feedback and game
controllers. Any slider or button of the interfaces can be mapped to
any recording channel and output and programming can be done
in real-time. Conductor can also control a BRAINSALT video server
cluster during programming. The server system will follow drags
of the locator in Conductor, giving the designer and programmers
the power to quickly seek, play and adjust motion or effects while
seeing media playing on the screen.

Some media based attractions include a complex light show

usually created by light designers on their favorite tool: the
light desk. BRAINSALT seamless integrates the light desk by
timecode into the system. Light designers can concentrate on
light programming, media will follow their timecode. Once light
programming is done, the light show is recorded through Artnet
in Conductor. Any number of Artnet universes can be processed
at once. Those recorded shows can then be located in Conductor
– parallel to motion and other effects - and will be sent out
perfectly synchronous to video playback. Any limits? At the time
this document was written, the most complex show that we know
of included around 900 control channels and 16 recorded Artnet
Universes – so close to 10000 channels in total. And that was far
below Conductor’s performance limits.

Realtime or Standalone
All of our Show Controllers and I/O Modules can operate
“live” - receiving updates over network from a video server or
programmer’s laptop. Alternatively to this realtime operation
mode, final shows can be exported to a flash storage to be used
with our ProCommander show controllers in standalone mode.
Those shows can either run in loop or can be triggered by external
inputs or timecode. Multiple shows can run parallel, merged
together through merge modes. Complete scenes of a dark
ride or preshow elements can be realized with such standalone
controllers. For example a preshow element with stereo audio and
DMX light can be played from our ProCommander 2. Just connect
loudspeakers to the amplified outputs and your DMX cable.

Projections Calibrated at the Calibrator

Push of a Button: Calibrator
In projection systems with multiple projectors it is hard or
sometimes even impossible to manually adjust warping and
blending parameters to create a seamless looking image. Due to
thermal drifts of projectors and structures, such systems have
to be readjusted during operation to keep the image quality at a
constant, perfect level. BRAINSALT provides an optional calibration
system for multi-channel projections that creates perfect image
quality at the push of a button.
Any complex screen and projector layout can be realized. The
numbers of cameras is theoretically not limited. Unlike other
vendors, our cameras can be installed anywhere “hidden” in
the attraction - the only precondition is that all cameras in total
“see” the entire screen surface. Different to other vendors, our
calibration system always guarantees mapping a specific pixel of
the content to a defined position on the screen. So it is guaranteed
to hit, for example, spezial-effect-nozzles and screen borders
always perfectly. The calibration system seamless integrates in the
media workflow if slicing of media is required.

Operation and Monitoring

BRAINSALT developed some unique tools for monitoring the
correct operation of an attraction. One of the most popular is the
“dual use” of cameras from our calibration system: during normal
operation, cameras are used to stream a video to a monitoring
server that presents those videos and additional health, quality of
service and status information on a split screen. Network based
observation cameras, a timecode display and other elements
can be included on the overview. Events can be defined to send
out email notifications, for example, if contact to a video server
got lost or if its status is faulty. That way, the operator always has
insight of what is going on in the attraction.

Versatile Digital Signage: Presenter

Presenter
Beside our video servers, that focus perfect video playback,
BRAINSALT also provides a Digital Signage solution, which allows
simple and easy content-creation for single screens or preshow
elements. Videos, slideshows, tickers, clock, streams, capture
inputs and other elements are placed in regions of the screen
and content is scheduled by time. Push content can be triggered
by a control system. Advertisement, show time information,
show relevant messages: our Digital Signage products allow our
clients to reach their clients via screens. A comfortable and easy
handling allows adding custom announcements quickly.

Playmaker
The heart of all BRAINSALT video servers. Either as Standalone
instance, as Controller or Time Code Player in a cluster,
Playmaker makes sure your show is running and pixels are played
perfectly to the screen. Support for most common movie and
audio formats is integrated. BRAINSALT’s uncompressed formats
guarantee pixel perfect playback.

Perfect Linear Video Playback in 2D and 3D

Playmaker was developed for guaranteeing perfect, smooth
linear playback of multiple, absolutely synchronous running video
channels. To assure jerk free playback, Playmaker takes care of
adjusting the video cards output refresh rate to fit to the movies
frame rate for every video in the playlist. It also takes care about
pixel synchrony for perfect 3D playback. It supports a wide range
of common video and audio codecs and its unique, uncompressed
frames playlists. Its easy to use graphical user interface lets you
manage playlists with 2D and 3D videos, audio files and effect files
for each entry. Audio volume of each video can be adjusted in the
playlist - individually for every audio channel with certain audio
hardware . It supports different playback modes: all entries in a
playlist are either played one after another or only one at a time
with the option to loop playback. Scripting commands allow non
sequential jumps within the playlist and other features.

Show and Effect Integration

When combined with BRAINSALT’s Conductor, an effect files can
be assigned to each playlist entry and will be automatically loaded
on start of video. During normal playback, Playmaker controls
playback progress of Conductor to assure perfect synchronous
playback of video and effects. During show programming,
Conductor controls Playmakers playback position thus making it
easy and comfortable to program effects synchronous to video:
any drag on the locator in Conductor will automatically cause an
update of playback position within the video.

2D Image Warping, Edge Blending, Image Enhancement

You can easily adjust warping by editing control points of a spline-
based warping mesh or modify every single point of the warping
grid manually. Lanczos filtering is used to assure best quality of
warped images. The blending curve can be adjusted by gamma
for each color – just bring your blending edges parallel with
warping and apply the blend mask. In addition, Playmaker can do
image enhancements like sharpening, saturation, brightness and
contrast. As alternative to manual warping and blending you can

12
 B7 Series Software

optionally use BRAINSALT’s camera based auto alignment software

Calibrator to generate warp and blend files – Playmaker will
automatically load it and map video in the playlist correspondingly.

Standalone, Controller or TC Player

A single server will use Playmaker in standalone operation mode.
When having multiple servers in a playback cluster, there is
usually a central unit that manages operation, the Controller and a
number of time code synced players, the TC Players. The Controller
is used to manage playlist and media. It synchronizes playlists and
media on all TC players in the cluster by a click on a button. During
playback the controller outputs audio and time code to perfectly
synchronize all TC player in the cluster. Furthermore the Controller
provides detailed information about quality of service of each
playback channel in the cluster.

Integration and Scheduler

Playmaker implements an UDP and RS232 based remote control.
Direct integration into Crestron® based media control environment
with the network based Crestron CNX interface is possible. With
the built-in scheduler you can define playback dates and times for
your playlists.

Movie Licensing System

Playmaker implements a proprietary licensing system for copy
protected contents. It allows content creators to distribute their
movies with a strong encryption and grant playback of the movies
on specific servers for a certain durations. The licenses are
transferred over the Internet with one of the safest authentication
and encryption methods currently available. A lot of well-known 3D
and 4D movie creators are using our movie licensing system.

13
Backstage
Most advanced 3D mapping tool with the ability to project on
any screen or object. Easy marker-based projector calibration to
math the 3D scene to real world. Dynamic blending and warping
for projection on moving screens and objects. Compatible with
our camera based Auto Alignment system Calibrator.

3D Scene Modelling and Mapping

Backstage is our newest development and closes the gap
between manual 2D warping and blending of Playmaker and static
3D mapping of Calibrator. It allows built a 3D representation of
the final scenes with screens, projectors and displays. System
integrators can use this tool to verify their projector layout and
blend sizes. An intuitive marker based calibration allows to
calibrate the real projector parameters and positions with known
3D coordinates in the real world. After that process, the final
adjustments can be either done manually or through our camera
based auto calibration software Calibrator.
Backstage is prepared to work with quadrant splitters on the server
output or can combine multiple outputs to one rendering canvas.

Dynamic Blending, Warping, Masking and Shadow

Compensation
Backstage supports dynamic blending and warping to project
on moving screens and objects. It also allows to insert “shadow
casting” objects, such as railings or parts of visitor platforms. In
case a projector hits such shadow object and another projector
could also reach the same target pixel on screen, the other
projector would dynamically compensate the shadow of the
projector. In addition, the image on the screen can be dynamically
masked. To compensate any delay of tracking input, Backstage
has implemented a prediction filter to generate future positions
based on past velocity and acceleration.

Playmaker, NDI, 3rd Party

Backstage can map Playmaker output streams, but also supports
to receive network streams and 3rd Party software through shared
resources on the same machine.

Media Manager
Load audio and video media to BRAINSALTs pixel perfect
uncompressed single frames formats. Compose playlists from
frame sequences and audio files that can be played as movies
with Playmaker. Supports content slicing for server clusters.
Rapid deployment of singe frames to a server cluster for real-
time content review.

Advanced Media Workflow

Media Manager accepts a wide range of video and numbered
still image formats that can be loaded and composed to show
playlists. It allows either to load a complete movie or just a range
of frames. Multiple jobs can be setup and processed all at once.
Playlist are setup on a “per frame” basis - single frames, shots
or scenes can be easily replaced. With the help of an integrated
version control system you can quickly jump between different
versions of each section in your playlist. A “live” mode allows to
quickly show 2D or 3D frames on a server or server cluster. An
integrated “Frame Viewer” allows to take a close look on every
loaded frame.

Multi Channel and Multi Server Workflow

In multi channel, multi server environments with media resolutions
beyond 4K, the Media Manager - optionally in combination with
BRAINSALT’s camera based Calibrator - is used to slice up the
source media to parts that are suitable for each playback channel.
The slicing is done without any decrease of image quality.

Supported Still Image Formats

List of Supported Formats: DPX, PNG, BMP, DDS, EXR, HDR, JPEG/
JIF, JPEG-2000, JPEG-XR, KOALA, RAW, SGI, TARGA, TIFF. Since
transfer of content is often done over Internet and also transfer
speed to a locally installed drive depends on file sizes, we suggest
to use a lossless compression for each frame, for example PNGs.

Supported Audio Formats

Dependent on the system configuration, stereo or mono WAV files
with for example 48 or 96KHz, 16, 24 or 32 Bit can be loaded and
managed through the Media Manager.

System Tools
BRAINSALT video servers are running a write protected,
embedded operating system. Tools for EDID Management and
EDID Emulation, Gen lock Watchdog and 4K Output Mode setup
are installed. During boot these tools automatically set the
correct display layout and system settings to guarantee proper
operation.

Embedded OS
BRAINSALT Video Servers are using an embedded Operation
System. This allows to write protect the system files and system
settings to avoid unexpected modifications during operation. If
3rd party software must be installed, the write protection can be
temporarily disabled during setup.

EDID Management
Our EDID Manager allows to read the currently connected EDIDs,
modify them and override the outputs with emulated EDIDs.
During system startup and even on video load (if change of output
frequency is necessary to match to video’s frame rate) the EDIDs
are automatically loaded. Thus, regardless what happens on the
servers output, it will always provide a signal with the timings
specified in the emulated EDID.

KVM Output Emulation

All Briansalt Video Servers do have a control monitor output where
BIOS messages and the OS primary outputs is shown. This ensures,
that such system information does not appear on the video
outputs. This output is usually connected to a Control Monitor or
KVM switch. However,
if there is no monitor connected to the servers control monitor
output at startup, an EDID is automatically loaded to emulate
a monitor. This allows remote connection through VNC without
disturbing normal operation.

4K Output Mode
4K Projektors usually are feed in quadrant or column mode. Both
modes can be set and are automatically setup on startup.

Presenter CMS Server

The BRAINSALT Presenter CMS Server is used to organize and
distribute content to groups of players in a local network or over
internet. It keeps track of the status of the players and provides
detailed system and health information.

Player network, content distribution

The players can be organized in a tree-like topology; Content can
be uploaded to every node of the tree. Players in that node or in a
node beneath of that node will automatically download the new
content. If necessary, content delivery can be restricted to certain
times of the day (f.e. nightly updates only).

User management
Users with different access levels and access nodes can be
created. As example: a media creation user might only have the
right to upload new content and set that active to a certain group,
while an administrative user can move players to different groups,
remote connect to it and change the group topology.

Status and health tracking

Each player is in permanent contact to the CMS Server and is
reporting its status. The information includes data like: network
configuration, display resolution, storage status and temperature
sensor values. Several notification events can be set, f.e. if a
temperature exceeds a critical point or the player does not
connect to the CMS server anymore, a warning email can be set
out to the administrator.

Remote access
The CMS server also acts as a repeater for remote connections to
a player connected through the internet. If an administrator wants
to log into a player, the player is actively opening a remote control
session to the CMS server and the remote control session is routed
through the CMS server to the software on the administrator’s
computer. That way, router and firewall at the player’s end do not
need to be specially configured.
