Live Stage Shows in Belgium Feature coolux Media Serers

The popular Belgian children's television shows Piet Piraat and Mega Mindy recently became a pair of stage productions involving 3D projection technology featuring media servers from coolux.

Studio 100, the Belgian TV production company, had to face the challenge of trying to do justice to the excitement of the series' popular characters' adventures. In the case of the super heroine Mega Mindy and the charming Pirate Piet, the actors were able to interact with a combination of traditional set pieces and 3D projections live on stage.

coolux Pandoras Box's brand new Version 5 BROADCAST servers proved to be a useful tool for the production, due to the available HD SDI outputs.

The coolux Widget Designer turned out to be an useful component when it came to creating interaction between the audience and the animation on display. The combination of the coolux Broadcast server and the Widget Designer software made it possible to easily apply movement effects to the available 3D objects on the fly.

coolux CEO Jan Huewel said, "It's absolutely wonderful to see how dedicated Studio100 is when it comes to using innovative technologies for their extremely successful programmes. It is of course only natural for us at coolux to believe in the reliability of our own products, but when customers with such a great track record like Studio 100 trust us enough to integrate the new Broadcast Server into their workflow, it means a great deal to us."
