Voyager is Ross Video’s latest graphics platform, powered by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4.27. Voyager leverages the world’s most powerful and realistic renderer, enabling its use for Augmented Reality, Virtual Studio and XR Virtual LED Studio environments. It helps users create stunning, complex virtual environments designed for use in broadcast television, corporate events, Esports and Entertainment alike, built with flexibility and speed of operation in mind.
Voyager uses the Lucid Studio control platform as an operator-friendly front end, so operators are not required to know the Unreal 4.27 engine to use the system. Voyager supports customization, flexibility, and scalability in terms of the number of cameras and graphics engines through the integration of Lucid and Lucid Track applications.

Ross Video offers a range of Virtual Solutions that enable media production organizations to tell better stories, gain viewership, increase revenue, and reduce costs through the use of Augmented Reality and Virtual Sets, with a focus on blended environments that combine the best of traditional physical design and virtual design.
Unreal4 allows the use of shaders to create realistic looking effects. From dynamic shadows, live-lights and light blooms, to reflections and refractions. These shaders and effects are applicable both in Augmented Reality and Virtual Studio environment.
Unreal4 offers an unparalleled level of animation capabilities – IK, Skeleton, cloth, and Particles are just a part of the toolset. Voyager supports the use of Unreal’s sequencer to manage complex animations and trigger them effortlessly.
Through the use of Lucid Studio, it is possible to mix and match tracking protocols and camera mounts to meet the requirements of the production. Whether its manual heads, mechanical encoders, cable cams, or optical tracking system, it is all transparent to Lucid.
Through Lucid Studio, Voyager supports seamless integration with MOS based newsroom systems. By using the Lucid Events as templates, journalists can easily select an event, populate it, and add it to their stories. Lucid Studio can then be used in conjunction with Overdrive for a fully automated production. Voyager supports ActiveX and HTML5 MOS plugins.
Driving graphics with external data into the Unreal Engine is straightforward with Lucid Studio & Voyager’s external data capabilities. Voyager is linked to XPression Datalinq server, to parse data from multiple external data sources and feed it directly into Voyager. Tell better stories, discuss statistics, or show the forecast, it is all at your fingertips.
The Blueprint Visual Scripting system in the Unreal Engine is a complete and highly versatile scripting system based on the concept of using a node-based interface to create interactions from within the Unreal Editor. Lucid Studio offers control and triggering ability over blueprints by hooking into the UE4.27 workflow.
Voyager is built on Unreal Engine version 4.27. As part of this build, Voyager users can leverage some new plugins, including a new lens calibration plugin and another one for videowall calibration which make Voyager a lot faster to deploy.
Voyager 4.27 works seamlessly with the Panasonic AW-UE150 PTZ camera. Select the camera from Lucid Studio’s mounts list, select the right lens curve, and you are ready to produce content. From Lucid Studio’s native interface, you can even open Panasonic’s web interface to control multiple cameras and see a preview of each camera.
Voyager 4.27 support NDI ® streams as sources and thus, saves on hardware resources of the system.
Each console is a system of magnetically-connected modules.
The first step is a consultation with a member of our sales team or one of our certified Ross resellers to discuss the specific needs of your organization. Next, we will look for a mutually convenient opportunity to coordinate a demo.
