1. Unique 3D visualizations are possible with your software. Please tell us something about the functionality of the software.
Depence² is a worldwide unique software solution that combines design and real-time visualization of complex multimedia shows with precise show control. The modern and high-performance software engine guarantees a realistic simulation that can calculate and display various elements of a multimedia show in a physically correct way.
All control characteristics of real equipment components are realistically simulated. This way it is possible to program perfectly synchronized and complex shows in a user-friendly graphical timeline. The 3D real-time visualization allows the display of common show elements such as water fountains, light, laser, fog, fire and special effects, which can be easily embedded in a naturalistic 3D environment. The comprehensive 3D editor also enables the creation of detailed architectural worlds.
With Depence², Syncronorm provides the industry with a tool that focuses on creative development and an effective workflow. With various interfaces and compatibility with almost all show technology relevant protocols, Depence² is ready for the demands of future productions.
2. How has the industry changed since you started your production? What potential still exists in this sector?
Show design, especially in the field of multimedia shows, is constantly changing and appears more and more complex. Depence² offers a holistic solution for not only designing and programming shows, but also visualizing them in real time. This enables designers to work regardless of location, whether in the studio, office, at home or on the road.
Since multimedia shows can contain the most diverse elements and, especially in the touring sector, take place in equally diverse locations, Depence² can optimize the cost-benefit factor of a production many times over with a highly effective workflow. The chances of winning tenders increase drastically and the pre-visualization facilitates the preparation of shows many times over.
Depence² also brings together all the benefits of previous Syncronorm products and offers the perfect combination of software for the fountain industry and lighting market products. This enables the realization of unique shows and the development of completely new show concepts for the future of the global show industry.
