Features for broadcast & live events
With photorealistic real-time rendering, built-in real-time compositing, eye-opening effects, state-of-the-art LED stage and volume support, robust DMX integration, and so much more, UE5 is ready and raring to go for prime time. And with access to the complete source code, an extensive C++ API, and Blueprint visual scripting, there are no limits to where you can take it.High-fidelity rendering and effects
Go from mundane to mind-blowing with Unreal Engine’s photorealistic ray tracing; advanced particle effects; and true-to-life physics—all in real time. Then, seamlessly integrate live-action elements with the built-in compositor and add a touch of AR or MR wizardry to take audiences where they’ve never been before.On-set virtual production
With UE5’s extensive virtual production toolset, you can work with LED walls and volumes to put your presenters, performers, and audiences into any kind of environment; stream animation data onto digital characters or effects from external sources like mocap; and control it all from your iPad. And that’s just for starters.Support for industry-standard formats and protocols
Easily design and control lighting and effects with the DMX plugin; work with leading media formats like HAP, Apple ProRes, and Avid DNxHD; ensure color consistency across projects with support for OpenColorIO; and quickly iterate on networked audio data with the OSC plugin. As much as possible, it’s plug and play.Broadcast & Live Event success stories
