Modulo Pi announced the launch of Modulo Kinetic V6, the latest version of its real-time media server platform. The new version brings enhancements to the 3D workflow and the interface user-friendliness and usability are “significantly improved” to offer a smoother experience. Modulo Kinetic’s embedded 3D engine has been upgraded, delivering substantial performance boosts for real-time productions. Photorealistic rendering has also seen “great enhancements,” according to the company.

In addition, a variety of features are adding to the media server’s 3D projection study tools, including dynamic projector information, new rendering modes, display of stacked projectors and more. Preparing client documentation is made even easier thanks to a new editor allowing to organize 3D scenes snapshots and export book as PDF. Modulo Kinetic V6 also comes with new functionalities designed for interactive experiences.

The media server adds the support of more devices, like the Canon EOS camera and TWAIN protocol for scanners. Among other things, Modulo Kinetic now allows real-time capture and extraction of a photograph or image scanned, to dynamically update the rendered media in a show. For highly specific needs, users are empowered to go further using JavaScript with their preferred integrated development environment. The code editor offers syntax highlighting making the coding process more intuitive and efficient. Finally, Modulo Kinetic V6 comes with a bunch of other features or improvements “designed to facilitate day-to-day operations.” Among them, a new EDID generator available in the Kinetic Designer interface can help users easily deal with “any type of resolution, especially non-standard resolutions for LED displays.”
