Panasonic ET-SWR10G12V Software License is a 12-month license for the ET-SWR10 Real-Time Tracking Projection-Mapping Software Development Kit. Merging analog movement and digital content, ET-SWR10 expands creative possibilities for immersive sensory experiences, interactive exhibitions, and more.

Combined with a compatible projector, such as the Panasonic PT-RQ35K or PT-FRQ60 Series, this ready-to-use SDK (Software Development Kit) enables projection of animated content onto fast-moving objects at up to 240 frames per second with less than 5 ms input-to-projection latency. Image position updates continuously to match the object, tracking its motion smoothly with no apparent delay. More than a giant leap forward in display performance, the system is also easier to install, integrate, and operate.

240 Hz Motion Tracking    Less than 5 ms Latency    Compatible with PT-RQ35K    Compatible with PT-FRQ60 Series    Easy to Install & Use    Use Short & Ultra-Short Throw Lenses

Merge moving objects with projected content. Combined with a compatible projector, this exclusive technology converts object marker location to projector XY coordinates. Image position syncs to marker position with less than 5 ms latency. From a dancer’s fluid motions to rapidly moving objects, tracking performance is utterly convincing.

The system does not require painstaking calibration associated with active-sensor systems—just install the SDK on your content server and connect a compatible IR emitter and camera to begin. Calibrate marker location with projector XY coordinates once, and projected content will remain in sync with almost any fast-moving object.

A real-time tracking projection-mapping system incorporating ET-SWR10 would comprise a compatible Panasonic laser projector, such as the PT-RQ35K or PT-FRQ60 Series, an IR emitter, an IR camera, and a PC content server with SDK installed. This PC connects all devices and can be configured as a monitoring terminal for the projectionist.

Performers can move freely and have content react to them instead of having to rehearse and memorize movements to match pre-produced content.

Members of the public can participate in an installation, interacting with content without any preparation or knowledge of how the system works.

Choose an object to track. This can be an item covered in material that reflects infrared light or a special device that emits infrared light. Next, set the object in motion. Infrared light from an IR emitter (or from the IR-emitting object) is either reflected back or sent directly to a camera. Software installed on a content server receives data from the connected camera and uses it to determine the object's position. It converts this information into an XY location and sends it to the projector. The object's position is updated 240 times per second, allowing projected digital content to appear on and follow the object with unrivalled precision and with no apparent delay for extraordinarily clear and smooth reproduction performance.

This flexible real-time tracking and projection-mapping system can be used in conjunction with Panasonic ultra-short throw and short throw lenses for compatible 3-Chip DLP laser projectors, including ET-D3LEW200 Short Throw Zoom Lens, ET-D3LEU100 Ultra-Short Throw Lens, and ET-D75LE95 Ultra-Short Throw Lens, in the context of a ceiling or floor-mounted short throw installation. IR emitter, IR camera, and projector can be installed separately with IR equipment located at screen center and projector mounted on the ceiling or floor very close to the screen, allowing projection designers to create highly immersive interactive exhibits in tight installation spaces where performers or viewers can approach close to the screen without casting a shadow.

Q: 1. Will this plan, in addition to all the other capabilities, function as a photo back up service to protect all our images and if so are there any upper storage limits?

A: Well, Lightroom provides you with the ability to organize and catalog your photos but you only get a very limited cloud storage area (2GB) with Adobe CC photography plan. It is not really intended as your cloud storage and backup solution, and you would need to get other physical storage solutions, be it Flickr, Amazon Prime cloud, Google Drive, Smugmug, Zenfolio, etc etc

Q: 2. Does it require your computer to always be connected to the Internet? I have limited Internet access ( Costa Rica ) thanks

A: No. just to activate it and downloaded

Q: 3. Aside from less Cloud storage, does this include everything that the "Photography" bundle purchased direct from Adobe has?

A: The Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan with 20GB Cloud Storage is the same as purchasing directly from Adobe.

Q: 4. can lightroom process dng files

A: Since thats an Adobe format I should hope so. Yes it does.

Q: 5. Will my current LR 6 catalog automatically be added to the LR CC software?

A: I upgraded from LR 5 to LR CC and the catalog was updated correctly when I ran LR CC. It also kept my old version of the LR 5 Catalog as well, so I could always go back if I needed to (but never did need to, so I deleted the old catalog after a few days of using LR CC. I am willing to bet that the same will happen if you upgrade from LR 6 to LR CC.

Q: 6. Does lightroom have photo stacking included?

A: I asked this in my pro FB page as I am thinking about purchasing. The answer was yes and focus stacking also. Keep in mind I have not used it!

Q: 7. I want to use this lens for DSLR 70D CANON , is it possible?

A: Not at all. This Is a projection lens that is not even remotely compatible with any photo or video camera.

Q: 8. Does the download code (or card with code) ever expire? Thinking of buying a bunch of them while the price is good, but won't activate some of them till years from now (don't want to load them all at once).

A: Adobe has not listed a date that they would expire, but if you activate them, it would add on to your plan and extend it.

Q: 9. In this package Lightroom Classic or Lightoom ? (Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan with 20GB Cloud Storage)

A: The Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan with 20GB Cloud Storage (12-Month Subscription) includes a 1-year subscription to Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom CC, plus 20 GB of cloud storage.

Q: 10. Does the 20gb photography plan also include Lightroom Classic? The description only shows Lightroom CC and Photoshop.
