LONDON — September 13, 2023 — disguise, the leader in real-time production technology and broadcast content services, is omnipresent at this year’s IBC conference in Amsterdam. Visitors can expect to experience disguise’s end-to-end solutions and services at not one, but five exhibition booths plus several speaking sessions showcasing how the disguise platform for content experience and graphics production drives broadcast productions fit for the future. A show highlight will be the launch of disguise’s Porta 2.2 broadcast graphics controller as a single platform for show graphics (CG), MOS newsroom templates, augmented reality (AR) and extended reality (xR) that can easily be combined with existing broadcast workflows and tools.
“We are excited to bring the future of broadcast to IBC by showcasing our end-to-end solutions along with our world-class creative services,” says disguise’s VP of Broadcast David Jorba.
disguise’s Creative Services team specialises in creating engaging data and content visualisation graphics, for the world’s leading broadcasters all the way from concept to on-air. They have executed high-end and photo realistic visualisation for NBC, Univision, DAZN, CNN and many broadcasters globally.
“Our end-to-end broadcast solution makes any concept possible. We have the latest and greatest tools empowering streamlined workflows combined with the vision and expertise to help broadcasters engage audiences like never before,” says Jorba.
Porta 2.2: Unlocking seamless broadcast workflows with Unreal Engine graphics
IBC attendees will be the first to learn about disguise’s latest release of the Porta controller. The release unlocks support for Unreal Engine’s Motion Graphics, enabling broadcasters to control all their graphics types – AR, xR and motion graphics – through one single user interface from the cloud or on-prem. This innovation reduces roundtripping – streamlining workflow, tools and operations.
The disguise team will be at the INFiLED stand 2.B43 to lift the lid on Porta 2.2 and answer any questions.
disguise solutions can be experienced throughout IBC at:
ROE Visual stand 7.C26
LED-based solutions for broadcast are highlighted at ROE Visual, including the ability to convert your LED video wall into an xR virtual production studio in one click. See for yourself how multiple cameras can ‘see’ different LED output frames simultaneously using GhostFrame Technology. disguise provides show control for the whole booth and has a dedicated monitor on the brainbar for the ultimate in lighting control, camera tracking and colour calibration.
On the booth, disguise will partake in a panel of experts moderated by Epic Games’ BK Johanessen that is about “Media Engines for Broadcast & Film – What does the future hold?” as well as a joint presentation with Megapixel and ROE Visual called “Video over IP: What it means for me” discussing the growth of ST2110 and IP video in broadcast and the technologies that enable its widespread adoption.
INFiLED stand 2.B43
disguise makes broadcast graphics workflows practical, efficient and end-to-end by driving any graphic to any pixel.

disguise will also be demonstrating its integration with Pomfort Livegrade Studio on the stand in conjunction with INFiLED’s new Infinite Colours (RGBW) and 1.9pp CBSF technology, showcasing how these can reduce technical barriers between Livegrade Studio’s established on-set colour grading workflow and the disguise virtual production workflow.
