Key Features | Screenberry Media Server

Highest Image Resolution & Quality

Due to its hybrid video processing engine, which efficiently uses both the GPU and CPU, one single Screenberry server can handle media playback up to 12K x 12K 30 fps / 8K x 8K 60 fps / 32 x Full HD layers at 60 fps with canvas sizes up to 32K x 32K*. A high frame rate (120, 240 fps) and custom frame rates are also supported. All of this allows you to implement the most ambitious projects without getting into complicated clustered systems!

*The number of displays, total resolution, and frame rate depend on the hardware configuration

Rich Projection Calibration Toolset

Screenberry can warp and blend projectors onto flat, curved, and dome-shaped screens or onto 3D objects. The toolset includes:

  • Automatic single or multiple camera-based projection alignment** (soft edge blending, warping, black level compensation, brightness calibration, gamma matching)
  • Automatic projector pose estimation for faster and more precise projection alignment on complex 3D objects
  • Manual image warping tools: corner pin, bezier, tri-mesh etc.

**Auto-alignment is an optional feature and it may not be included in your package.

Content Encryption & Distribution

Worried about leasing your media content? Screenberry media server can directly play back video in a proprietary encrypted format (ERVA). This enables producers and media designers to safely distribute media files worldwide and benefit from time-based or pay-per-play licensing.

Protocols & Automation

Screenberry is capable of communicating with a variety of hardware and software by utilizing a wide range of protocols: Art-Net, MIDI, UDP, OSC, TCP/IP, RS-232, HTTP, PJLink, numerous vendor-specific projector/display control protocols.

2D / 3D Workflow

2D and 3D compositing pipelines are available. The 2D workflow is designed for flat and relatively simple screen setups. The 3D environment is primarily used for projection mapping onto complicated objects such as building facades or automobiles; it allows users to import 3D models, set up virtual projectors and cameras. There is no need to pre-warp your content, as Screenberry will do it for you in real-time.

Spout

Using the Spout real-time video sharing framework, you can effortlessly inject visuals from 3rd party applications into Screenberry with no latency. This means Screenberry possibilities can be combined with other visual software such as Resolume, Unreal® Engine 4, Unity®, Processing, and VVVV while running on the same machine.

Notch Integration

Screenberry natively supports Notch playback***. This extends Screenberry’s capabilities with a vast array of real-time VFX tools for more impactful shows and performances.

***Notch requires a separate license.

Flexible Show Programming

Screenberry provides a full range of show creation and control tools including multiple timelines, playlists, cues, and independent media players.

Multi-User Remote Control

Thanks to the full-fledged control over IP, multiple operators can simultaneously configure the system, upload content, and control shows remotely. The feature permits more complex show control scenarios and operation of fixed installations via a local or remote network connection.

Video over IP

Screenberry supports video over IP via the NDI® protocol. The server can receive and output multiple broadcast-quality video streams over standard Ethernet networks. This offers additional possibilities for fixed installations and live productions. IP-based video streaming is also enabled via RTSP/RTMP protocols.

Node-Graph Editor

Screenberry, with node-based architecture at its core, provides creative freedom and intuitive control even for complex AV setups. Visual programming with nodes allows for a great number of setups, configurations, and control scenarios, as well as flexible audio/video stream routing.

HTML 5 Web Interface

Thanks to the built-in web service, Screenberry can be controlled not only via its native desktop application but also from a smartphone or tablet. HTML 5 support enables the creation of custom platform-independent web interfaces which allows multiple users to operate the server via a web browser.

Stereoscopic

Different types of 3D stereo are supported: passive and active technologies with frame-sequential and side-by-side layouts. Screenberry is capable of outputting stereoscopic video on flat, curved, and dome screens.

Multi-Channel Audio

Screenberry supports multi-channel audio configurations with up to 64 channels via such interfaces as MADI and Dante®.

Customization

Most of Screenberry’s features can be accessed and automated via JavaScript. You can also create GLSL shaders for custom image processing and visual effects.

API & Integration

Screenberry can be easily integrated into most content production pipelines and AV installations. API provides convenient tools for the integration of 3rd party applications. Сalibration data import is available for Unreal® Engine 4, Unity®, and TouchDesigner.

Modular Architecture

Screenberry has a modular architecture and its functionality can be extended with external plug-in modules. You can choose from a growing range of Screenberry-compatible plug-ins and applications.

Multi-Platform

Screenberry server natively runs on Windows and Linux. Screenberry Control Panel is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, and has a customizable web interface.
