AV Stumpfl presented new PIXERA 2.0 features and the BLACKPEAK projection screen surface at LDI 2023.
One of the undisputed highlights of AV Stumpfl's PIXERA version 2.0 was its multi-user workflow capability, allowing media server operators to be much more flexible and efficient when working on complex installations or show environments.
Users had granular control over how they collaborated on PIXERA projects, choosing to share only a single portion, such as a projection warp or editing a compositing timeline, or opening up the entire project to other users connected to the system.

Another upcoming PIXERA feature highlight was Content Remapping, making it possible to define multiple areas within a content frame and position them separately in the compositing space. The pixel-accurate placement and rotation of content parts were made possible by using rectangles, as well as freely editable polygons. Mapping challenges that were best handled at the actual content level could be easily mastered with this new feature.
PIXERA served as the exclusive media server sponsor for LDI's Battle of the Busk training opportunity.
AV Stumpfl also presented their recently renamed black projection screen surface material BLACKPEAK (formerly known as FLEX BLACK PRO). Using conventional projection screen surfaces, projected images sometimes appeared "washed out" due to ambient light, and important image details might even disappear.
The new BLACKPEAK projection screen material allowed for the projection of highly impressive images even in bright environments.Its extraordinary image reproduction quality was comparable to LED displays and other light-emitting display technologies.
AV Stumpfl Inc. President Todd Liedahl underlined the huge potential of BLACKPEAK: BLACKPEAK offered phenomenal black levels and a great contrast ratio, even in settings with ambient light. Unlike white projection screen surfaces, it was also very inconspicuous during moments when no content was being projected. Our recent tests showed that ultra high-powered projectors were not needed to achieve beautiful results with this highly innovative product.
