With 360-degree VR video’s explosion in the media industry comes more advancements and further developments for it. The same can be said about live streaming productions becoming more and more advanced so everyone can get in on the act. NextComputing and Samsung have become a powerhouse team in this endeavor and at NAB 2018 in Las Vegas, they will be showing off their latest and greatest.
NextComputing will be using the Samsung 360 Round camera to demo their new units. The software used to the stitching and live streaming is all provided by NextComputing so if you want the most out of your 360 Round, you need one of these computers to go with it. But NextComputing isn’t just looking to enhance the live aspect of 360-degree video, they also have extensive post-production utilities allowing users to use the 360 Round in a multitude of purposes. For anyone interested in 360-degree video on a small or grand scale, seek out the information from NextComputing or better yet, head to Vegas for NAB 2018 and see for yourself!
