At the forefront of immersive media technology, Disguise is redefining how audiences engage with live events, broadcasts, and virtual productions. Known for powering iconic spectacles such as Coachella sets and ESPN broadcasts, this tech innovator continues to push the boundaries of synchronized, high-resolution content playback across diverse platforms. As they prepare to showcase their latest advancements at the NAB Show 2026, Disguise is setting a new standard for visual storytelling and audience immersion that resonates deeply within the fulldome and immersive media communities.
Disguise’s presence at NAB is marked by collaborations and integrations that underscore their commitment to enhancing creative workflows and user experiences. With demonstrations spread across five major partner booths, including MRMC, B&H, Planar, CarbonBlack, and MOVIN, attendees will witness firsthand how Disguise solutions are transforming live production and broadcast environments. The introduction of two cutting-edge plugins—Sony’s XYN for virtual production and LTX’s AI-powered generative media tool—highlights Disguise’s role as a catalyst for innovation and efficiency. These tools empower filmmakers and creative teams to convert physical spaces into vibrant 3D worlds and generate dynamic 4K LED content using AI-driven prompts, respectively.
“Disguise software and hardware has powered the biggest events and productions in the world for more than twenty years, and we’re delighted to be supporting our partners at NAB to continue driving these next-gen experiences of the future,” states Dan Baum, VP of Sales, Americas at Disguise. He captures the essence of the company’s vision: “Whether it’s for sport or live music, films or TV broadcasts, audiences in 2026 want to be more than just passive viewers. They want to be included as a genuine part of the experience.” This philosophy aligns seamlessly with the evolving desires of immersive audiences seeking more active participation and connection with the content.
Moreover, Disguise’s commitment to broadening the creative landscape is evident in their new partnership with NETGEAR, facilitating seamless interoperability between Disguise servers and NETGEAR AV switches. Baum emphasizes the practical benefits of this collaboration: “By embracing innovation and integrations, improving workflows for our users, and ultimately elevating core visual moments for fans, Disguise can help bring audiences closer to the events, shows and games they love.” This focus on technical synergy and professional support equips creators and technicians with the tools to push immersive production to unprecedented heights.
From a creative standpoint, Disguise’s technology advances the fulfillment of immersive storytelling through its meticulous attention to synchronization, resolution, and workflow efficiency. The introduction of Sony’s XYN plugin, designed to streamline spatial capture for LED virtual production, allows for real-world environments to be transformed into richly detailed 3D spaces with reduced complexity. This innovation is particularly impactful for fulldome creators who strive to simulate authentic spatial experiences without compromising visual fidelity or production timelines. Similarly, the LTX plugin’s AI-generated media at 4K resolution and 60fps accelerates ideation and pre-visualization, enabling rapid iteration and customization that are crucial for dynamic fulldome presentations.
This blend of traditional production craftsmanship with state-of-the-art AI generative capabilities positions Disguise as a pioneering force within the immersive media ecosystem. Their technology speaks to a shifting paradigm where creators can harness AI not merely for automation but as an essential collaborative partner in crafting nuanced, real-time visual narratives. Compared to other studios that may rely heavily on static pre-rendered content, Disguise’s approach integrates flexibility and real-time responsiveness, vastly expanding the creative latitude available to immersive producers.
Within the wider fulldome community, Disguise’s contributions are resonating strongly. Fulldome festivals, touring dome exhibitions, and planetarium venues increasingly demand high-resolution, synchronized visuals that captivate and educate diverse audiences. Disguise’s broadcaster-grade media servers and software solutions fit naturally into these environments, ensuring that content delivery meets the highest technical and experiential standards. Their collaborations with leading technology partners and presence across multiple NAB partner booths underscore their role not just as a technology provider but as an active collaborator nurturing immersive media’s growth globally.
Furthermore, Disguise’s ongoing involvement in panels and discussions addressing XR and AR frameworks, stadium fan engagement, and virtual production workflows reflect a deeper investment in community knowledge sharing and innovation. Their ability to bridge the gap between cutting-edge broadcast technology and immersive venue needs offers fulldome creators a roadmap for integrating similar methodologies into their own projects, enhancing both educational impact and entertainment value.
As immersive media continues its rapid evolution, Disguise stands out as a beacon of innovation, enabling creators to realize their boldest visions and inviting audiences to step beyond mere observation into true participation. Their work at NAB 2026 is not just a showcase of technology but a glimpse into an enriched future where immersive storytelling flourishes across screens, domes, and stadiums worldwide.
