VT MAK Announces Launch of VR-Vantage 1.5
 
New version adds Streaming Video and CameraFX to VR-Vantage product line
 
Cambridge, Mass., December 4, 2012 – VT MAK (MAK), a company of VT Systems, Inc. (VT Systems), today announced the launch of its VR-Vantage 1.5, featuring Streaming Video and CameraFX. This latest version of MAK’s visualization tools will be demonstrated in the MAK booth (#2535) at I/ITSEC, December 3-6.

Streaming Video is the key enabling technology in producing simulated video, a flexible alternative to live video for demonstration, development, testing, and embedded training of operational video exploitation systems such as UAS ground control stations, situational awareness systems, sensor fusion systems, and remote video terminals. This scalable capability can be used in a laboratory, in a classroom, or deployed with the operational system. The video stream, including metadata, uses open standards that are Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB) compliant, allowing for the video feed to switch between live and simulated video, seamlessly and transparently.

CameraFX, which provides affordable, non-physics based visualization of EO, NVG, and IR scenes,* is also included in the VR-Vantage 1.5 release. Based on JRM Technologies' sensor technologies, it models a sensor's blur, noise and bloom. The 1.5 release also includes audio support, tactical graphics visualization, radio communication line visualization, and tactical smoke, among others.

VR-Vantage is MAK’s line of visualization products that includes VR-Vantage Stealth, VR-Vantage Plan View Display, VR-Vantage IG, and the VR-Vantage Toolkit. These products let users visualize simulation environments from multiple perspectives ranging from realistic scenes for out-the-window or sensor views for man-in-the-loop training devices, to 3D informational views and tactical map displays for planning and situational awareness, and also to exaggerated reality views for visual analysis.
