using Clear-Com's Eclipse®
HX Digital Matrix System and
Agent-IC® Mobile intercom
App.
" For our voice communications
system, we needed something intuitive
and highly capable, " explains Brian
Mader, Mission Operations for Intuitive
Machines. " We built this room from
scratch and ran exhaustive tests to
make sure the technology we chose
suited our needs, exactly, because the
communications between Nova Control

employees and satellite ground
stations in the UK and Australia will be
equipped with Agent-IC - a mobile app
for smart devices that can connect to
the Eclipse HX system over 3G, 4G, LTE
or WiFi - for constant monitoring of
mission communications.
Polygon Labs completes virtual set TUDN
P
Polygon Porta allows the operator to
access the Viz Trio control interface to
control the Unreal Engine at the same
time, and with the same playlist, used
to control Viz Engines.
sports channel TUDN, which is owned by
Univision and Televisa. The virtual set
was built specifically for the show Tokio
Nos Une and allowed the presenters to
appear in four different worlds, all with
a Tokyo theme. Tokio Nos Une is a twohour
program that aired recently daily
during a primetime slot.
The sets were built by Polygon Labs
using Epic Games' powerful real-time
3D creation platform, Unreal Engine
4. The technical setup uses a Vizrt
workflow, which includes Polygon's
Porta solution, providing a gateway
between TV content production
workflows
and
the
Unreal
Engine.
The production uses Viz Engines for
lower thirds and full-screen content
and Unreal Engine for other aspects,
all from a single playlist thanks to
Porta teams. The four-camera Unreal
Engine virtual set uses stYpe Follower
tracking, Stypeland UE plugin and
Green Killer as the internal keyer.
Marco Antonio
Abad,
Director
at
Televisa and TUDN, commented, " This
virtual set for popular
olygon Labs, an innovative
studio pushing the boundaries
of interactive data applications and
visual branding, has announced that
it has completed the creation of a
sophisticated
highly innovative technology allows
us to be both creative and efficient.
It means that whilst our presenters
are hosting the show in Mexico, they
all appear to be in Tokyo bringing
sophisticated graphics to our viewers
without leaving the Televisa studios
in Chapultepec. The Polygon team
quickly understood our ideas and were
able to bring our creative vision to
life with these four virtual worlds that
mix with the real-life programming in
a spectacular way. When you produce
highly sophisticated live content like
this, you can't just use any company
and expect these perfect results. "
" We're really proud of this project
for TUDN, which proved to be a highly
creative collaborative process with
everyone involved, " said Miguel
Yabrudes, Polygon Labs' Chief Creative
Officer.
