LAS VEGAS – disguise, formerly known as d3 Technologies, made their mark at this year’s LDI show. The company, which just announced their new name, demoed their new projection technologies and showcased the new gx range of media servers. The gx range, awarded with a PLSN Gold Star for Best New Media Server at the show, powered the content for the company’s booth, themed “The Future of Projection.” The new range of media servers, launched by disguise earlier this year, is helping creatives and technologists push the boundaries of live show design.

d3 Technologies have revealed a new company name – disguise – at this years’ LDI. The new name wraps up a momentous year of key changes and growth for the company which finds an expanding international community using their technology at the heart of some of the world’s most exciting cultural experiences, in verticals including concert touring, broadcast, theatre, fixed installs and, most recently, film. Despite this rapid growth, disguise maintain they’re still the same company at heart, focused on the same level of support and innovation that have earned them success. LDI marks the start of an exciting new chapter for disguise, which will reveal a snapshot of future developments with an experiential demo exploring The Future of Projection.
“This year at LDI, we’re doing something different. Instead of showing our products as they exist at the moment, we’re offering a sneak preview of what’s coming next. With the help of our friends at Barco, DWP, Possible, LMG, Bild, Satis&Fy, and VT Pro, we’ve gone out of our comfort zone and created a projection demo like you’ve never seen before,” says Ash Nehru, founder of d3 Technologies / disguise. “Our user community use our products to overcome the hardest challenges in the projection industry – short setup times, large numbers of projectors, huge content resolutions, complex surfaces, moving objects, and more. With this demo we want to show our vision of a world where these challenges have been overcome,” he adds.
The gx range will power the content for The Future of Projection booth. The new range of media servers, launched by disguise earlier this year, is helping creatives and technologists push the boundaries of live show design. Developed to support real-time, generative content, the gx range offers Gold support for Notch and features a 2-year Notch playback license demonstrating the tight integration between the two companies. The gx range has already been used across dozens of shows around the globe and has also been awarded the PLSN Gold Star for Best New Media Server at this year’s LDI, a respected industry prize chosen by the editors and writers of the industry publication.
The ‘Future of Projection’ is a must-see at this year’s LDI. Visit the disguise Booth #1831 or stay tuned for insights, video footage and interviews.
Along with its new name, disguise is featuring its gx 1 and gx 2 media servers at LDI 2017 booth #1831. For a closer look at those new media servers – and PLSN contributor Vickie Claiborne’s attempts to get them to flinch even a little bit by throwing a ridiculous amount of digital processing their way – see the Product Spotlight feature in the Nov. issue of PLSN, page 122.
