We are proud to announce that Live 3D Streaming to Apple Vision Pro in QTAKE Monitor has received the Best of Show Award at IBC 2024, held at the RAI Amsterdam. The Best of Show Awards recognize the most innovative and impactful M&E solutions exhibited at the IBC Show, with hundreds of contenders evaluated by a panel of judges.

Advancing On-Set Monitoring with Apple Vision Pro

The Apple Vision Pro device is a personal monitor that redefines the possibilities of not only how the consumers watch content, but also the possibilities of on-set monitoring for professional film productions, which is particularly helpful in environments with space and lighting constraints, and in stereographic productions. The state-of-the-art technology used in Apple Vision Pro is expected to fuel more interest in 3D and immersive content, and QTAKE Monitor is perfectly positioned to support that trend.

The QTAKE Monitor app was designed to offer film production teams advanced features for wireless live monitoring, independent video playback, collaborative metadata editing, and frame-precise clip annotation. While other film production tools may utilize Apple Vision Pro to offer standard monitoring features, such as 2D playback and streaming, the QTAKE Monitor app stands out as the only solution capable of delivering live 3D and immersive content. QTAKE Monitor’s Live 3D Stream to Apple Vision Pro represents an unparalleled monitoring experience in production of stereoscopic and immersive content and sets a new benchmark for the industry.

Historically, the production of 3D content requires use of specialized 3D monitors and glasses, limiting the ability of crew members to engage with the stereoscopic content. With the integration of QTAKE Monitor app and Apple Vision Pro, every crew member can watch the 3D content in real time, and personalized to their preferences and viewing angle. This real-time interaction is crucial for making immediate, informed decisions during production, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and quality of the filmmaking process. By reducing reliance on post-production corrections, it not only saves time and money but also enhances the overall quality of the final content.
