Innovative Live Graphics Application To Debut At NAB

Stream My Event is set to debut its new software-based live graphics application, Holographics, which addresses the issue of pricing models by filling the gap between expensive hardware products and fragile DIY freeware.

The application will be introduced to the public at NAB 2019 on Stand N2235.

Designed to work in any live broadcasting environment, Holographics serves the growing segment of small and mid-sized professional live content creators, combining a simple learning curve with powerful features like custom themes, widgets and key and fill output. It will be available for both OS X and Windows devices.

It can be used from within popular vision mixing software including Open Broadcaster Studio (OBS), V-Mix and other multi-camera software applications supporting HTML overlay. In addition, Holographics allows for industry-standard key and fill output to video switchers including popular models from Blackmagic, For-A, Grass Valley and other major vendors.

Floris Porro, Co-founder of Holographics said: "Live content creators need graphics software that works in all resolutions, is easily customisable and designed to work on a large variety of platforms. We couldn't find anything reasonably priced, so we've created Holographics both for ourselves and to help others in what we feel is an untapped market.

"Themes are based on Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), which is already a standard in web technology. Small adjustments like fonts and colours are super easy even for non-technical users, our designers picked it up in no-time and before we knew it were creating advanced custom themes," added Porro. "Themes are also easily exchanged between installations and it's really just a text file, you can even send it over WhatsApp if you need to."

Holographics is offered as a freemium business model allowing creators to instantly start using a basic version of the software. Whilst subscribed users can create unlimited widgets and receive support for just $20/month with no minimum contract. Holographics is also available under a perpetual license model of $200 which includes updates for a period of three years.

Stream My Event has also created an explainer video for Holographics that gives a more detailed look into the solution. The video is available below.
