Megapixel's GhostFrame hides cues inside LED screen feeds
Megapixel has developed GhostFrame, a software toolset within its HELIOS LED Processing Platform, designed to enhance on-set, real-time in-camera VFX (ICVFX) workflows for film, broadcast, and event production. This technology allows cameras to capture multiple content experiences or hidden elements like cue markers and chroma key frames during a single take, by utilizing the faster refresh rates of LED screens compared to human perception or camera capture rates. GhostFrame is exclusively available in ROE panels for Live Events, Broadcast, and XR use.
Key Takeaways
- GhostFrame sits inside Megapixel’s HELIOS LED Processing Platform for real-time in-camera VFX workflows.
- The system can capture multiple content experiences from a single take because LED screens refresh faster than cameras and human perception.
- Use cases listed include embedded cue markers, embedded camera tracking, hidden chroma key frames, and up to four unique video feeds.
- Megapixel says GhostFrame is exclusively available in ROE panels for Live Events, Broadcast, and XR use.
Why It Matters
GhostFrame gives production teams a way to carry cue markers, tracking markers, chroma key frames, and multiple feeds inside one LED setup instead of adding separate visible elements to the set. That matters for film, broadcast, and event workflows built around real-time ICVFX, where LED refresh speed is being used as the technical basis for these sub-frame captures. The competitive detail to watch is the ROE-only distribution model: Megapixel says GhostFrame is available exclusively in ROE panels for Live Events, Broadcast, and XR use. Track whether Megapixel or ROE publishes the whitepaper details and the tile-dependent limits on sub-frame slices.
