- Crystal clear media streaming and playback inside Unreal Engine with zero anti-aliasing.
- Media planes which dynamically reposition and scale in real-time with tracked and moving cameras.
- Full cinematic post-process effects (particles, bloom, lens flares, dirt masks, chromatic aberration, god rays) in CG layers.
- Mask/ matte to composite foreground elements with perfect lighting and post-process effects.
- Highly dynamic Global Illumination with shadows cast from scene onto talent and from talent onto scene.
- Full reflections of talent on floor or walls and positioning of talent behind transparent materials.
- Input/ output passes "on-tick" for perfect synchronisation of composited content.
- Input/ output passes for NDI, Spout and Screen Capture (Desktop and Window).
- HUD/ UMG input pass for still, animated and parametric overlays.
- Live-streaming direct from Unreal to social media platforms like YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Facebook, Bilibili etc.
- Direct recording to disk from Unreal for live-takes during game-play or capturing rushes during shoots with quantized timecode metadata.
- Broadcast streaming via SRT for stability and bandwith-efficiency and via RTSP for simulations, IoT and server systems.
- Native Unreal Engine workflow ensures immediate updates to latest Engine versions.
- Automatic configuration of all elements, no blueprints required.
- Works with all Unreal tools (nDisplay, Sequencer, LiveLink, Movie Render Queue etc.)

Key Components
OWL CG Element
- A CG element based on Unreal's Viewport rendering pipeline which includes all available post-process effects.
- Integrates directly into Unreal's Composure workflow and is compatible with all features.
- Works with lens distortion files for precise matching between CG element and Media plate.
- Perfect replication of Unreal Engine scene including all colors, shadows and materials.
- Full post process effects including bloom, lens flares, dirt masks, chromatic aberration, god rays etc.
OWL Video Placement Plane
- An Unreal Plane Actor which can be placed directly anywhere in your scene.
- Frame-synchronised via a transform pass with the Composure Media Plate.
- Dynamically scales and adjusts any Media Plate to tracked and moving Unreal cameras.
- Ensures zero anti-aliasing of media inputs via Composure.
- Synchronised on tick-draw calls guaranteeing frame-accurate movement.
OWL CG Matte
- A custom Matte which allows media to be placed behind virtual objects.
- Ensures perfect lighting for all FG elements avoiding Composure's over-saturation.
- Works directly with Unreal's Layers for easy allocation of FG elements.
- Includes all post-process effects.
OWL Input/ Output Passes
- Input and Output passes on-tick with all composited elements ensuring perfect synchronisation.
- NDI input/ output for streaming video over-the-network.
- Spout input/ output for zero-latency/ compression streaming on the same machine.
- Screen capture input for desktop/ window media input.
- HUD/ UMG input for still, animated and parametric overlays.
Media Output
- Live-streaming via RTMP, SRT and RTSP.
- Recording to disk via MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV.
- Timecode metadata with quantised frame-splits for use in editing software.
- h.264 encoding via NVENC (GPU) for zero-CPU overhead.
- Multi-channel audio including surround sound and up to 7:1 output.
- Adjustable video and audio bitrate.
