High-Performance Control for Interactive, Real-Time, and Pre-Recorded Media

Uncompressed Media Servers for Immersive Storytelling

When image quality matters, compression isn’t an option. 7thSense media servers are trusted worldwide to deliver uncompressed, high bit-depth video for the most visually demanding installations - from flying theatres and dome projection to LED walls and interactive exhibits.

At 7thSense, we specialise in the delivery of uncompressed video - ensuring that every pixel retains its original quality from disk to display. Our media servers are built for installations where precision, color fidelity, and reliability are non-negotiable.

Why Does Uncompressed Matter?

Most media servers compress video to reduce file sizes and bandwidth. But that often means sacrificing clarity, colour depth, and motion accuracy. You get distracting artifacts like blocks, banding, fuzzy edges, and no contrast in the dark and light areas of the images. Our servers play back pristine raw image sequences in their full glory.

  • Ridiculously high quality (up to 12-bit 4:4:4)
  • Screaming fast frame rates (up to 240 FPS)
  • Multiple layers of synchronous or asynchronous playback

Put Pixels Where They Belong

  • Warp & blend for projection
  • Projection map media onto 3D objects
  • Pixel-pack outputs for efficient use of LED processors
  • Mix playback and live video capture
