EMERALD

Disguise launches new color calibration workflows !!! With support from EMERALD, it has integrated OpenVPCal tool to calibrate LED displays faster and more efficiently. Fewer calibration attempts, lower energy consumption, smoother setups. Now available as a Designer plugin.

BBC R&D’s Emerald team showcased a low-cost virtual production system powered by Gaussian Splats, alongside content-understanding tools that streamline workflows and enable easier reuse of existing material. Demonstrated at CVMP London and BBC Studios Bristol !!!

Brainstorm is coordinating EMERALD’s exploitation to ensure real market impact. Following D6.4, partners are finalising business models and go-to-market strategies, with Brainstorm leading the Final Exploitation Plan to bring AI tools into real media production. #MediaInnovation

Animics 2.0 (animics.gti.upf.edu) is here! Built from user feedback: better UI, smarter propagation tools, improved video cropping, and a brand-new additive animation pipeline with clip-based editing. More flexible, more powerful, more intuitive. youtu.be/r8oVta1ra3U

Did you know streaming also has an environmental cost? MOG, through EMERALD, has created the Green Streaming Ecosystem: a smart, modular, self-hosted CDN that uses AI to reduce duplication, save energy, and cut CO₂ emissions. Faster streaming, greener impact🌱

At #SMPTE MTS2025, FilmLight showcased new advances from the Emerald project: an automated perceptual shot-matching algorithm achieving 70% of human grading quality while cutting time by 20%. Watch here: youtu.be/P4L6dFbmIFY?t=…

TDD @trinitycol4788 is advancing the future of energy-efficient video tech. The team shared its work at SMPTE, AOMedia, Demuxed, and VideoLAN Developer Days. They highlighted advances in AV1-based virtual production, new energy-monitoring tools, and low-energy 3D reconstruction.
