XI-MACHINES provides "Sama-Sama" interactive performance show with media server network
Madrid, March 15 2016: Running since its launch in fall 2015, the unique “Sama-Sama” entertainment show is presented by Cirque du Soleil and Sama-Sama Creative Labs. It combines the worlds of theater and adventure theme parks with interactive elements to form a powerful multi-sensory experience.
Using the latest event technology, visitors are taken on an interactive journey packed with visual effects and musical components that put the audience into the roles of the performers. All XI-MACHINES media server used in this installation are real-time-optimized high-end solutions, which process performance data for up to 2,000 visitors per show and output these in the form of audio and video streams.
Sama-Sama involves not only teams of creative designers responsible for choreography, music and visuals but also leading technology providers offering a complex networking system for the show’s audio-visual aspects. A crucial part of this one-of-a-kind performance is the network of interactive attractions, involving up to 42 visitors simultaneously making music, dancing and generating visual effects in real-time.
“The technical challenge here lay in synchronizing audio, video and sensor data which were then processed and streamed out dynamically in real-time,” comments Patrick Strenge, CEO at XI-MACHINES GmbH. “Just the optical cabling – with over 100 m per station – as well as controlling each attraction were very complex. On top of that came cabling up and controlling 450 loudspeakers which are installed throughout the various attractions. We worked closely with the technical development facility at Sama-Sama to build a media server solution for real-time processing including capturing, rendering and show control. This enabled us to process a range of real-time data from 20 video cameras, 3D animations, laser tracking systems as well as around 500 trigger impulses quickly and reliably. This required a computing power of over 50,000 GFLOPS, provided by modified XI-MACHINES latest generation media servers,” Strenge continues.
Each attraction was developed exclusively for this show, and includes a user-friendly interface with instructions that can be easily understood by visitors from around the world. About Sama-Sama Sama-Sama is a performance concept that combines elements of a live show with an interactive theme park. It tells the story of the Samis, a group of multi-talented creative spirits that turn a disused power station into a producer of human energy. They use their creativity to create a parallel universe. At Sama-Sama, and nurtured by the Samis, visitors become the artists, and the artists become the audience. For more information, please visit: http://www.samasamalive.com.

XI-MACHINES RECORDER.1 review, resolution magazine - issue 09/15
Renowned British pro audio magazine resolution reviewed our RECORDER.1-Dante.
"...This system in essence has one job only, to record digital audio and it did that job very well. There are no conversion quality issues to discuss as we are looking at bit for bit accurate recording and reproduction. ...However this unit is really aimed at the pro user who cannot afford to lose a take - large stadium shows, TV studio, and so on. The pricing is justified by realibility rather than ergonomics, in fact each unit comes with a 36-hour minimum system stability test certificate. The system optimisation and component selection of the Recorder.1 are what you are really buying into here."

Man Doki Soulmates and XI-MACHINES RECORDER.1 – Open Air Concert in Budapest
Budapest, August 21, 2015: Exactly 40 years after his dramatic escape from behind the Iron Curtain, Leslie Mandoki joined with his band Soulmates to play for a crowd of 30,000 in Budapest, the city where he was born. The concert’s theme was friendship and tolerance, and coincided with the anniversary of German reunification. Our RECORDER.1 multitrack recording system was there too, in the very capable hands of FOH engineer Daniel Schindler (Neal Morse Band, Riverside, Apparatjik, Hammerfall), who was responsible for the monitor mixes for all the musicians on stage. An XI-MACHINES RECORDER.1 unit tracked 96 channels, a stereo FOH mix and a backup mix for a backup recording.
Mandoki enlisted the help of some big international names for his “Soulmates” ensemble, including Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann´s Earth Band), Nick van Eede (Cutting Crew), Nik Kershaw, Midge Ure (Ultravox), Tony Carey (Rainbow), Randy Brecker, Mike Stern and Tony Lakatos, as well as Supertramp legend John Helliwell. Two younger “Soulsisters”, Aura Dione and Mandoki’s daughter Julia, completed the line-up for the concert, which took place in Budapest’s historic old town on the Danube. They shared the stage with some of Mandoki’s many friends from the Jewish and Roma music communities, as well as a brass section from Cologne, band musicians from Bavaria, and the award-winning string quartet from Budapest, Sturcz.

XI-MACHINES Provides Ars Electronica Project Room “Deep Space 8K” with High-End Workstations for 8K Resolution Exhibit
Hamburg/Linz, August 7, 2015: It’s a world premiere. For the first time, the renowned Ars Electronica Center presents stereoscopic and interactive content in 8K resolution at up to 120 Hz refresh rate – in real-time. Two CX4 high-performance computing workstations by XI-MACHINES form the core of a technically ambitious and complex exhibit. The exceptional “Deep Space” exhibit at Ars Electronica has already staged many unique 3D visualisations over the years. Yet with its new conceptual design, “Deep Space 8K” now offers not only science presentations on the structure and functions of the human body, or enormous 3D pointclouds offering breath-taking depictions of ancient Rome, but also stunning solar activity video sequences by NASA. Visitors can also engage with movement-controlled multi-player games thanks to a newly developed laser tracking system.
“Deep Space 8K” boasts an impressive projection area covering a wall and floor space, each 16 by 9 meters. In a world premiere, award-winning high-resolution pictures, videos and interactive 3D animations are projected in real-time with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.
This is made possible through two synchronised CX4 high-performance workstations crafted by XI-MACHINES. The system is capable not only of rendering and displaying visuals in 8K resolution, but at the same time computes data in real-time from the “Pharus” laser tracking system which collates the coordinates of up to 30 people playing interactive games on the projection space.
Our workstations are often used for real-time 3D projection onto large areas. Until now, it wasn’t possible to display the current “Deep Space 8K” Super Hi-Vision content in real-time with high levels of detail as a 3D projection. For us, what was special about this unique project was the technical challenge of how to output videos, pictures, 3D animations in 8K resolution at a refresh rate of 120 Hz while simultaneously computing tracking data, all in real-time, day for day in a working museum. The resulting data stream of 23 gigabytes per second is enormous, and is roughly equivalent to the capacity of a Blu-ray disc. You can only process this amount of information if you employ the latest hardware. After exhaustive testing and in close consultation with the developers at Ars Electronica Future Lab, we custom-built a system around two CX4 high-performance computing (HPC) workstations, with high-end graphics accelerators that provide synchronised picture projection for both display areas. Each of the two systems provides a computing power of approx. 25,000 GFLOPS, that’s the equivalent of around 200 conventional office computers! Both CX4s generate video data for a total of eight Christie Mirage 304K projectors, each offering 4K resolution, and displaying visuals on the wall and floor at an impressive 30,000 ANSI Lumens, with a contrast of 2000:1. And the results are astonishing. These are razor-sharp images, with zero-flicker 3D animations that guarantee a visual experience you won’t find anywhere else in the world. It’s a striking demonstration of how science, art and modern technology can combine in fascinating ways.
The powerful CX4 workstations developed for “Deep Space 8K” utilise two latest generation Intel XEON E5 processors, with each using four synchronised Nvidia Quadro M6000 graphics accelerators with a total of 48 GB graphics RAM; all this technology combines to allow synchronised projection of 3D content at 120 Hz.
