OMG's Vicon System Installed in Ukraine's First Ever Performance Capture Studio

- Digital Cinema Ukraine purchase Vicon to add ultimate realism to productions -

- Ukraine is a new market for OMG's Vicon -

OMG plc, (LSE: OMG) ("OMG" or the "Group"), the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, has now sold two motion capture systems into the Ukraine.  

Following the successful installation of Vicon's Bonita system at Digital Cinema Ukraine ("DCU") in February 2012, we are delighted to announce that they have now upgraded to Vicon's flagship T-Series system. The combined total of the contract is worth in the region of £245,000.

DCU were initially using Vicon's Bonita system for motion capture in the animation market.  DCU also needed to capture multiple actors in a larger volume with face and body simultaneously, therefore decided to upgrade to a Vicon T-Series system which has up to four times the resolution of any motion capture camera available today.

"Having researched different products it was clear both T-Series and Blade are the most advanced motion capture systems in the market. The accuracy, quality of data and flexibility enables us to increase the quality of our productions by adding realism you cannot achieve through key frame animation alone" said Yuri Prylypko, CEO of DCU.

Established in 2011, DCU is the first performance capture studio in the Ukraine. Their motion capture services are employed by studios working in TV, film, game development and pre-visualization.

Commenting on entering the Ukraine market, Nick Bolton, CEO of OMG said:

"We're delighted to see Vicon continuing to expand its geographic reach with a system installed in yet another new country. DCU's client, Animagrad, has been using our T-Series system since December and already a fully animated TV series has been created with a second series now confirmed. This deal validates how our more accessible, entry level Bonita system provides the opportunity for customers to upgrade to our flagship T-Series system."
