Supersphere debuts mobile VR production solution

LOS ANGELES — At April’s NAB Show in Las Vegas, VR/360-degree production studio Supersphere (http://superspherevr.com) will debut 12G glass-to-glass flypacks optimized for live VR/360-degree streaming. These multi-geometry (mesh/rectilinear/equirectangular) flypacks can handle 360-degree, 180-degree, 4K or HD production and seamlessly mix and match each geometry. They includes built-in VDN (video distribution network) encoding and delivery for live streaming to any platform or custom player. 

Supersphere will showcase these flypacks in the Z Cam booth ( C1052) throughout the NAB Show (April 9th through 12th) in Las Vegas. Each flypack is equipped with Z Cam K1 Pro 180-degree cameras and Z Cam S1 Pro 360-degree cameras, and customizable to any camera as productions demand. Also included are Blackmagic’s latest ATEM Production Studio 4K live production switcher to facilitate multi-camera live production across a range of video sources. Assimilate’s Scratch VR Z enables realtime geometry, stitching, color grading, finishing, and ambisonic audio.

Teleos Media’s VDN (Video Distribution Network) offers fully integrated transcoding and delivery, and delivers immersive experiences to any device with sustained 16 Mbps at high frame rates, and 4K and VR resolutions. Clients can easily build custom 360-degree video players on their Websites or apps as a destination for live-streamed content, in addition to streaming directly to YouTube, Facebook, and other popular platforms.

“These flypacks provide an incredibly robust workflow that takes the complexity out of immersive live production – capable of handling the data required for stunning high resolution projects in one flexible end-to-end package,” says Lucas Wilson, founder and executive producer at Supersphere. “Plus with Teleos’ powerful VDN capabilities, we make it easy for any client to live stream high-end content directly to whatever device or app best suits their customers’ needs, including the option to quickly build custom, fully integrated 360-degree live players.”

“We are excited to partner with Supersphere to bring content owners a flawless VR live and VOD experience delivering video to any connected device,” says Vaibhav Malawade, CEO of Teleos Media. “Supersphere’s 12G flypack, powered by Teleos Media’s TrueLive high-performance video encoders, can customize to any VR format for the best possible viewing experience.”
