Your Volumetric Production. Our Proven Multi-Camera Systems.
Built for the Reconstruction and Rendering Pipeline
Your reconstruction engine, rendering pipeline, and AI tools are only as strong as the imaging data feeding them. Our cameras deliver uncompressed, full-resolution images and video at the frame rates your pipeline needs, whether you are running 10 cameras or 500.
GPUDirect: Optimized Data Flow
NVIDIA’s GPUDirect helps multi-camera GigE systems move image data more directly from the network interface to GPU memory, reducing CPU involvement and extra memory copies. For volumetric capture, virtual reality and 4D Gaussian splatting, that means more camera streams can be ingested, synchronized and processed at high frame rates with lower latency and less system overhead. The result is a cleaner path from capture to reconstruction, rendering or AI processing, which is especially valuable when working with dense multi-view image data from many high-resolution cameras.
Signal Reliability and Multi-Camera Synchronization
Our software leverages NVIDIA GPUDirect to ensure lossless capture, processing, and storage across every camera in your array. FlexProc and FlexTrans give your engineering team complete control over every node, from a single studio to a full-scale LED volume stage.
Simple Infrastructure at Any Scale
No frame grabbers, converters, or short-reach cables. Emergent cameras run on standard Ethernet switching with cable runs up to 10km, the same infrastructure your facility already uses, easily scaling from 10 cameras to 500.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What frame rate do I need for markerless motion capture?
Most markerless mocap pipelines require a minimum of 120fps at working resolution. Emergent 10, 25 and 100GigE cameras can all hit these levels. BOLT and ZENITH Series cameras are most recommended.
Q: What is 4D Gaussian Splatting and what cameras does it require?
4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) is a volumetric video technique that captures a three-dimensional scene over time using a synchronized multi-camera array, enabling free-viewpoint playback and real-time rendering. It requires dense arrays, typically 30 to 500+ cameras, with microsecond-level synchronization. Emergent 10GigE, 25GigE and 100GigE cameras are purpose-built for 4DGS workflows.
Q: Do Emergent cameras require frame grabbers?
No. Emergent cameras connect directly to standard Ethernet NICs and switches using SFP+, SFP28 and QSFP28 transceivers.
Q: How does Emergent GigE cameras compare to CoaXPress for volumetric capture?
CoaXPress requires proprietary frame grabbers and limits cable runs to 40 meters. Emergent GigE cameras run on standard fiber or ethernet cables with cable runs up to 10 kilometers, and scaling to 500+ cameras is possible.
Q: How far can Emergent cameras be from the capture server?
Emergent cameras support cable runs up to 10km using SFP+ (10GigE), SFP28 (25GigE) and QSFP28 (100GigE) fiber transceivers, making them suitable for large-stage and multi-building installations without signal repeaters.
Q: What is the difference between the EROS, BOLT, and ZENITH camera families?
EROS (10GigE) cameras are optimized for cost-efficient high-density arrays. BOLT (25GigE) cameras balance resolution and frame rate for volumetric stages and full-body performance capture. ZENITH (100GigE) cameras deliver ultra-high frame rates, up to 3462fps, and resolutions up to 105MP for hero positions, facial detail, and large-format arrays.
