EX Range Overview
The EX Range
EX Range Overview
The EX Range was developed to become the gateway to the Disguise platform, and has been designed as a video playback solution to deliver pixel-perfect experiences.
With performance and scalability, the EX Range has been developed for location-based experiences (LBX), theatre shows, and keynote presentations.
What's Different?
The EX Range has been designed specifically for video playback, and as a result there are no physical video inputs on the EX 3. Users can feed an NDI video signal into the EX 3, however there is no support for inputting video via USB devices on the EX 3.
There are no audio inputs and outputs on the EX range. Audio Interfaces can also be used if needed.
The EX range does not support VFC cards, with video output via DisplayPort only.
There is an optional real-time connector licence if a user wishes to run generative content on their EX range media server, such as a Notch block. The real-time connector license can be purchased as a one-time cost. There is also no support for RenderStream, ACES mode, or mixed reality set extension within the EX range.
The EX range can be used as a network of machines with redundancy and failover options. This means that it can be used as a Director (Dedicated/Non-Dedicated), Actor, Understudy and Editor within a d3net session with other EX range only. It will also be able to run as a Dedicated Director and Editor with other VX/GX range media servers in a future update.
The EX range cannot be used as a Dedicated Director when running in a session where RenderStream is used as it will not be able to receive proxy streams. We therefore recommend that the EX range are used as Dedicated Directors in session with other Disguise media servers for video playback only.
