(Las Vegas, NV–April 7, 2018) NextComputing, leading providers of high-performance computers and integrated content creation systems, will be demonstrating live production and post-production solutions for the Samsung 360 Round professional 3D 360° virtual reality camera at the NAB Show 2018, taking place April 9-12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. As a strategic partner for 360° video solutions, NextComputing will be presenting in Samsung’s exhibit at the NAB Immersive Storytelling Pavilion, North Hall booth N3406VR.
The Samsung 360 Round is a professional 360° camera designed for developing and streaming high-quality 3D content to deliver an exceptional virtual reality experience. The 360 Round comes bundled with live stitching, streaming, and post-production software, enabling users to start creating content immediately without purchasing additional software.
Together, NextComputing’s family of validated, high performance digital production systems and the IP65-rated1 360 Round camera can be deployed to film in the most challenging environments and workflows.2 Ideal use-cases for this combined solution range from entertainment like live sports broadcasts and concerts, to corporate training, virtual conferences, and even streaming surgical procedures to medical students in immersive VR.
The product line-up includes:
Radius Live – A portable, all-in-one workstation with integrated 17-inch HD display and dual NVIDIA GPUs, capable of stitching and live streaming a single 360 Round camera at maximum 4K 3D quality. This system can simultaneously stream online and output over 6G-SDI, as well as perform offline stitching and post-production.
Radius Edge – A slim portable, all-in-one workstation with integrated 17-inch HD display with a single NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPU. The Radius Edge is the ideal “laptop replacement” system for offline stitching and post-production of 360 Round footage, more powerful than any laptop on the market.
Nucleus 2U – A compact, short-depth 2U rackmount server for live stitching with dual GPUs and redundant power, designed for flypacks and server room installations where portability is not required.
