Modulo Pi has unveiled Version 7 of its Modulo Kinetic media server platform, delivering a substantial upgrade focused on streamlining complex production workflows while expanding the platform’s capabilities across 3D study, projection mapping, interactivity, playback, simulation and show control. With Version 7, Modulo Pi is further consolidating tools that are traditionally spread across multiple standalone systems into a single unified environment.

One of the most notable developments arrives within the platform’s 3D workflow capabilities. Version 7 introduces native support for major 3D formats including Cinema 4D and SketchUp, alongside point cloud data integration and embedded prefab assets designed to accelerate project preparation and visualisation. The user interface itself has also been refined to simplify operation within increasingly complex multi-screen environments.

Projection workflows have likewise received a significant overhaul, with the addition of full 3D projector models including lenses and frames, enhanced editing tools, and direct 3D pre-warping functionality. An optional 3D auto-calibration module further automates multi-projector blending and warping, dramatically reducing setup and calibration time compared to conventional manual approaches.

Modulo Pi has also introduced dedicated LED study and simulation capabilities into Modulo Kinetic for the first time, incorporating an integrated library containing more than 2,000 LED panel models. This enables accurate simulation of real-world LED configurations with precise pixel pitch representation directly within the software’s 3D environment.

Interactivity and simulation tools have also expanded considerably in Version 7. New 3D LiDAR simulation functionality allows users to visualise sensor coverage, beam emission and occlusion behaviour, helping optimise system configurations based on venue layouts and audience conditions. A new tracking and crowd simulator has additionally been integrated to enable realistic testing of audience interaction scenarios and generative content behaviour before deployment on site.

Media management workflows have also been strengthened through expanded format compatibility, automated file synchronisation with remote servers, and integrated content versioning tools aimed at improving asset management efficiency across productions.

On the real-time rendering side, Version 7 introduces more than 150 new GPU-powered effects designed for advanced live visual processing with minimal latency. The update also enhances interactive capabilities through spatially triggered playback, an upgraded particle engine, and a new multi-user particle system capable of dynamically adapting generative behaviours based on active audience participation.

The embedded show control environment has meanwhile been refined with improved interface design tools and advanced user management capabilities aimed at strengthening operational security. Integration with ISAAC, the web-based AV monitoring and control platform, further extends centralised system communication and operational oversight.
