Panasonic ET-FMP50
Overview
Panasonic ET-FMP50
Media Processor
The Panasonic ET-FMP50 is a compact box-type media processor that can be conveniently placed near the projectors with connection via HDMI™.
Demand for immersive experiences has driven a need for multi-projection attractions, leading to more complex and labor-intensive workflows. Designed around the concept of “simpler, but better,” the ET-FMP50 is a media processor featuring camera-based warping/blending and 4K media playback capability. It eases the burden on teams when installing and adjusting multi-projection attractions, making operations more efficient and streamlined.
Working with NIKON® cameras, the ET-FMP50 automates complex warping/ blending processes with highly precise pixel-based adjustment. It can output a 3840 x 2160p signal or split it into 1080p quarters for 4x projectors via HDMI™. It also supports both H.264 and H.265 formats, as well as the HAP4 codec. Play content directly from the processor or over NDI®-compatible LAN.
Key Features:
- Flexible design streamlines installation, simplifying projection mapping with manual and automatic camera-based warping/blending and media playback functions.
- Simple, high-precision pixel-based adjustment minimally impacts image quality. Easily add immersive effects with free-shape, line-masking, and intuitive auto adjustment.
- Smooth and continuous content playback up to 4 TB
- Decodes H.264, H.265, and HAP formats at up to 300 Mbps.
- Simplifies AVoIP transmission with neat and cost-effective cable management.
Features
- Reduces the Cost and Complexity of Installation and Cabling: The ET-FMP50 is a compact box-type media processor that can be conveniently placed near the projectors with connection via HDMI™.
- Saves Time, Enhances Quality with Camera-based Adjustment: Working with NIKON® cameras1, the ET-FMP50 saves time by automating complex warping/blending processes with highly precise pixel-based adjustment that minimally impacts image quality for reliable reproduction of content. Easily add immersive effects with free-shape, line-masking, and intuitive auto adjustment. View the projection area from the camera’s perspective on a PC and click to designate an image display area: content splitting, geometric adjustment, and blending are performed automatically.
- Supports High-Quality Video Content: The ET-FMP50 can output a 3840 x 2160p signal or split it into 1080p quarters for 4x projectors via HDMI™. It decodes H.264, H.265, and HAP2 formats at up to 300 Mbps. Also, simplifies AVoIP transmission with neat and cost-effective cable management. Play content directly from the processor with media storage up to 4 TB or over NDI®-compatible LAN.
- Minimizes Carbon Footprint and Reduces Resource Usage: with a maximum power consumption of just 64 W and automated playback scheduling.
- Automatic content splitting via camera (resolutions up to 4K supported)
- Manual color-matching adjustment (automatic is TBA)
- Compatible with Multi Monitoring & Control Software3 (software functionality with ET-FMP50 Series is currently limited to on/off status monitoring only)
- Playback scheduling function
