We welcome AR 51 to our Extension library. AR 51's AI-powered markerless motion capture system delivers real-time skeleton data at 9ms latency, capturing an unlimited number of “talent” in any scale of space without suits or wearables. The AR-51 Grid Extension brings this data into SP Grid as a live structured feed.
What makes this particularly powerful for broadcast and VP environments is AR-51's ability to learn and recognise specific individuals. The system can be trained to identify known people by appearance, assigning a persistent ID per person, meaning SP Grid can trigger workflows not just based on where someone is in the space, but based on who they are. Camera moves, lighting states, content triggers, and zone-based events, all managed within Grid Studio, can all be tied to a specific presenter or talent with no hardware on their person at any point.
AR-51 skeleton data becomes a direct control source across the entire studio workflow, driving automated lighting responses that follow presenters in real time, controlling PTZ camera positioning based on where talent actually is in the space, and triggering content events through configurable zones defined within Grid Studio. When a recognised individual enters, leaves, or dwells within a defined area, Grid Studio handles all the logic and workflow responses automatically. For broadcast studios, the combination of markerless identification at 9ms latency and zone-based automation in Grid Studio represents a meaningful step change in what a production team can deliver without any specialist infrastructure on talent.
