Binocle’s rigs: "Brigger I", "Brigger II" and "Brigger III"

Brigger I, II and III features

Ten years after the first fully motion-controlled rig was developed by Binocle / Thomson / Angénieux, Binocle has improved its techniques to provide a full range of equipment to satisfy all shooting requirements.

This new range of three rigs offers innovative features in terms of weight, handling and size.
All three rigs can accommodate all types of cameras whatever their weight and size. They allow use of stereoscopic equipment in confined spaces, on a steadycam, shoulder brace or any other device designed for the cameras currently available on the market.
All three rigs are suitable for motion-controlled operation and recording.
The management system allows real-time remote control of the following motion control parameters:

 Interocular distance,
 Vergence
 Zoom
 Focus
 Aperture

thus ensuring extremely fast and accurate 3D mastering.

Brigger I, II and III products

 there are 3 sizes and 2 configurations,

 a special configuration of the mirror rig for zenithal or a crane installation,

 a linear support (side by side)

Brigger I, II and III also include:

 four motorized optical mounts (2 axes for fixed focal length lenses)
 or six motorized optical mounts (3 axes for zoom lenses)
 motion control commands
 viewing screen
 accessories

Binocle’s stereo visualization and correction software

« Binocle Disparity Tagger »
real-time visualization software

Binocle Disparity Tagger features

This software developed by Binocle allows the two stereoscopic fluxes to be viewed in real time.
The operator is free to choose between different stereo visual control modes. Images can be displayed in alternative mode, with polarization, but also superimposed, in anaglyph format, side by side, with a mobile shutter, etc.
Disparity Tagger can be customized to work with all systems available on the market.
It has 2 inputs (HDSDI and/or HDMI).

Outputs vary depending on the visualization mode:

 dual DVI for cameras equipped with polarizing filters or set in alternative mode
 single DVI or HDMI for one-flux alternative monitoring
 single DVI or HDMI for polarized and interlaced systems
 single DVI or HDMI for anaglyphs

Visual alerts notify the operator of unacceptable disparities caused by too much out-of-the-screen effect or background offset depending on the size of the viewing screen used.

Finally, the software enables low-frequency, real-time visualization of geometric disparity corrections (vertical, trapezoid, etc.) or of lens-related magnification.

Binocle Disparity Tagger product

The package includes the software and its platform (capture and display card, CPU, 12V or 110/220V power supply and software all included).



It displays the following:

 stereoscopic 3D disparities
 uncorrected images
 corrected images
 acceptable stereoscopic 3D limits
 recorded frame area
 corrected frame area

« Binocle Disparity Killer »
post-production correction software

Binocle Disparity Killer features

This software is already being used, in real time low frequency, in the Disparity Tagger application, where corrected images are displayed in real time for the use of directors, operators and stereographers.
It enables all unpleasant 3D-related disparities to be corrected prior to editing.
The corrections applied to the rushes enable viewing of the film from the very beginning of the stereoscopic editing process, without any cerebral stress. This helps to avoid stress-related uncertainties and to clarify the causes of visual discomfort related to shot or editing choices.
Disparity Killer is an essential tool for validating all post-production processes up to the final copy, in order to provide viewers with a film totally free of visual disparities.
This regularly upgraded software brings the dream of a visually clean live 3D HD TV broadcast within easy reach.
Distinction must therefore be made between cinema tools, which are already available, and those designed for television, which are in development.
