VC6 Video Controller

The VC6 Video Controller supports up to 1,500,000 pixels and tracks up to 16,896 Sensors simultaneously every 33 milliseconds. Maximum Input resolution of 1920 x 1080 @60Hz.

 
 

TCX4 TouchController

The BrightLogic TCX4 TouchController supports up to 4 connected BrightLogic Video Controllers (VC6). The TouchController provides an easy-to-use Web-Based GUI that can be accessed via an iPad, laptop, or desktop computer, making it extremely easy to configure your Interactive LED Panels. The TouchController provides real-time feedback of all sensor data from connected video controllers and offers an API (XML, NDI) for connecting 3rd Party Content Applications, such as TouchDesigner, Notch, Unity etc.

Touch Data Formats for Live Performance Applications

Touch Data is available in the following formats: XML, JSON, Image & NDI. The touch data can easily be read by industry-standard creative applications such as TouchDesigner, Notch, Unity, Cinder, OpenFrameworks and more...

Sensor Simulation Modes & Sensor Recording/Playback

There are plenty of built-in floor simulation modes which trigger (virtual sensors) on the API, this enables developers to be able to test with simulated touch data. The TouchController also includes a recording capability that enables developers to save and playback frame-accurate & timestamped interactive touch data from the interactive floor panels (walk, run, jump, dance, etc). This makes developing custom applications a breeze.

VC6 Video Controller

The BrightLogic Video Controller (VC6), is compatible with the NEW Interactive Black Marble BM4i & BM5i panels from ROE Visual, CreateLED AirFloor 3.9mm, and YesTech’s Magic Stage 3.9mm Interactive LED Floor Panels. A single Video Controller is capable of displaying up to 1,500,000 pixels while also detecting 16,896 Touchpoints (sensors) simultaneously every 33ms, so you can be sure every touch or footstep is accounted for.

Sensor Management and Calibration

The TouchController includes automatic calibration of sensors across large installations, therefore you can always be sure that the touch data is accurate. Sensors can be easily excluded from an interactive experience enabling objects such as tables, chairs and scenery to be placed on the ActiveFloor without affecting the content experience.
