360° immersive spherical video solutions, full dome post production services and 360° internet videos.
Aquistition / capture planning undertaken. Camera deployed and adjusted / calibrated for surroundings. 360° images recorded live to hard disk and stitched simultaniously in real time. Stored data is then processed and converted to a suitable format that can be edited with standard high resolution digital video software. Final adjustments are made to the footage and then rendered out in either dome master or panorama format. Playback of media is achieved through web viewers and through 360° dome servers and projectors.

Capture

Six high resolution images at 1600 x 1200 each are captured via firewire to the host laptop or computer. During this process the cameras adustment parameters are as follows; gain,
shutter, gamma,
exposure,
frame rate, histogram,
brightness,
image type, white balance,
blending width,
falloff correction,
image stabilisation,
colour processing,
sphere stitching size and GPS integration mapping.

Through our 360° software the streaming captured images can be viewed in real time stitched together. We have a number of differnet viewing options which include panorama mode, spherical 3d view and dome projection view. Most of the above camera parameters can be applied to the footage after capture allowing us to fine tune everything before export for compositing.

Dome masters are the prefered format for planetariums and full dome venues. Generally there are a variety dome servers in the market today. They all have different ways and methods for playing back their own encoded media. We supply dome masters in many different formats like avi, flash flv, wmv, mov. Typically the most prefered format is image stream which we can supply in any format type required. Our systems work natively in bmp and jpg formats however any image type can be converted if necessary.

360° HDR Imaging
To meet the requirements of complex imaging scenes, the camera can also be configured to operate in a special high dynamic range mode, which continuously cycles through a series of camera shutter and gain settings. This method of photography achieves greater image quality where the bright areas are to bright and the dark areas are to dark. High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode helps to overcome this problem by capturing images with varying exposure settings. HDR is best suited for stationary applications.
