NAB 2024: Zero Density Unveils Render Engine EVO II for the Future of High Performance in Real-Time Virtual Production

Zero Density, provider of integrated virtual production and real-time motion graphics solutions, announces the new render engine EVO II. This groundbreaking hardware platform outperforms the current engines on the market to deliver unmatched rendering power, high performance and reliability in real-time virtual production environments.

The render engine EVO II combines the robustness of professional servers with the agility and performance of high-end gaming engines, giving you the power to always render and composite at the highest possible quality in real-time. As an industry first, EVO II is able to deliver everything in one package combining the specifications of gaming hardware with operational features such as redundant power supplies and rackmount capabilities.

Re-engineered from the ground up to deliver the rendering power necessary to unleash the full potential of Zero Density’s Reality5 real-time virtual production platform, EVO II’s astonishing performance is driven by the unique combination of four core factors: the GPU, the CPU, the power delivery system, and thermal management.

Zero Density EVO II is an advanced real-time virtual production render hardware platform

Zero Density carefully selected the NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, designed their own power distribution platform, and integrated a quiet, efficient cooling system to meet the specific high performance, security and reliability demands of virtual production environments.

The team meticulously reviewed the performance of every component, and where industry-standard components fell short, they developed better alternatives in-house. This included everything from new PCBs and power cabling and cooling to embedded software, and even high-end 3D printed components, all crafted for ultimate performance in real-time virtual production.

The resultant Zero Density EVO II is an advanced real-time virtual production render hardware platform. Designed for endurance. Crafted for ultimate performance. Purpose-built for one task: game engine-based, real-time rendering, compositing and video input/output for virtual production.

A testament to Zero Density’s relentless pursuit of enabling exceptional virtual productions through exceptional hardware, the EVO II render engine is more than just a technological breakthrough. It integrates seamlessly with the Reality5 virtual production platform into any broadcast environment workflow, giving creators the power to enhance their storytelling with dynamic visuals and data-driven graphics, while also lowering total cost of ownership, and boosting operational efficiency.

Kuban Altan, Zero Density Co-Founder and CTO, commented: “Exceptional virtual productions demand exceptional hardware. Creating the EVO II was a process of intense research, component selection, testing, benchmarking, and setting up innovative production methods. We sweated the details of every single item you need to create the most powerful high-end broadcast game render engine on the market. We are immensely proud to present to you our new flagship product.”
