Opis
Voyager uses the UX control platform as an operator-friendly front end, so operators are not required to know the Unreal 4 engine to use the system. Voyager supports customization, flexibility, and scalability in terms of number of cameras and graphics engines through the integration of UX and UX VCC applications.
Real-Time Reactiveness
Voyager enables real time control over scene elements, in PIE mode, without the need to package the project to go on-air.
Features
Real-Time Dynamic Shaders
Unreal4 allows the use of shaders to create realistic looking effects. From dynamic shadows, live-lights and light blooms, to reflections and refractions. These shaders and effects are applicable both in Augmented Reality and Virtual Studio environment.
Complex Animations
Unreal4 offers an unparalleled level of animation capabilities – IK, Skeleton, cloth, and Particles are just a part of the toolset. Voyager supports the use of Unreal’s sequencer to manage complex animations and trigger them effortlessly.
Tracking
Through the use of UX, it is possible to mix and match tracking protocols and camera mounts to meet the requirements of the production. Weather its manual heads, mechanical encoders, cable cams, or optical tracking system, it is all transparent to UX.
Newsroom Integration
Through UX, Voyager supports seamless integration with MOS based newsroom systems. By using the UX Events as templates, journalists can easily select an event, populate it, and add it to their stories. UX can then be used in conjunction with Overdrive for a fully automated production. Voyager supports ActiveX and HTML5 MOS plugins.
Data Integration
Driving graphics with external data into the Unreal Engine is straightforward with UX & Voyager’s external data capabilities. Voyager is linked to XPression Datalinq server, to parse data from multiple external data sources and feed it directly into Voyager. Tell better stories, discuss statistics, or show the forecast, it is all at your fingertips.
Logic & Scripting
The Blueprint Visual Scripting system in the Unreal Engine is a complete and highly versatile scripting system, based on the concept of using a node-based interface to create interactions from within the Unreal Editor. UX offers control and triggering ability over blueprints, by hooking into the UE4 workflow.
Unreal 4.25
Voyager 4 is built on Unreal Engine version 4.25. as part of this build, Voyager users can make use of the 3D text capability, improvements to Datasmith workflow, Variant manager, and color difference tools.
PANASONIC AW-UE 150 INTEGRATION
Voyager 4 works seamlessly with the Panasonic AW-UE150 PTZ camera. Select the camera from UX mounts list, select the right lens curve, and you are ready to produce content. From UX native interface, you can even open Panasonic’s web interface to control multiple cameras, and see a preview of each camera.
NDI
Voyager 4 support ND I ® streams as sources, and thus saves on hardware resources of the system.

Monogram Creative Console Integration
Monogram Creative Console is a modular, free-form control surface designed to enable hands-on and dynamic interaction with creative software.
About Monogram Creative Console
Each console is a system of magnetically-connected modules.
- Core: connects and powers the entire layout. Includes IPS LCD that displays the active profile and 2 mechanical keys for switching profiles
- Key: 3 tactile, mechanical keyswitches
- Dial: 3 infinite-turn encoders with secondary press function
- Slider: 3 60mm linear faders
- Orbiter: 3 dimensions of control. Uses a pressure-sensitive center disc (X/Y axes) surrounded by an infinite-turn encoder ring (Z axis)
Profiles & Integrations
- Monogram Creator software runs in the background and connects the console to integrations like UX
- Consists of a UI for module assignments and a service that drives integrations
- Creator manages the modular layout—modules keep their function when moved around.
- Assign modules to control UX; change their sensitivity, range, and incrementation in Creator
- These sets of assignments are called Profiles; profiles can be saved, recalled, and shared amongst crew
Key Benefits for Operators
- Direct access to objects in the scene. Gives the operator the ability to move, rotate, scale, and animate without distraction from menus or tool panels.
- Muscle memory and enhanced precision. Offers an immediacy and precision that is impossible to replicate using an on-screen UI.
- Control multiple parameters simultaneously.
