Hi,

This is the limitation of the Studio license. The Studio license does not support the full functionality of the LED Wall compound. For comprehensive use, you must use a Broadcast license for each computer.

You have three options:

• You could rent four Broadcast licenses for one day
• Contact our sales team at sales@aximmetry.com for additional trial licenses if possible.
• Use a single computer while testing. By setting the Fill Resolution Mul parameter to a very low value, it's possible to render all the LED walls. More information about this can be found here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/led-wall-production/using-led-walls-for-virtual-production/#fill-rendering

Also, note that on the controller machines, you do not see what other computers are rendering. However, you could transmit the rendered videos from the remote machines to the controller machine by following this guide: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/multi-machine-environment/advanced-information-and-features/transmiting-videos-from-render-to-control-machine/
This option is particularly useful if the remote computers do not have monitors connected so you don't see what is going on them.

Warmest regards,

Thank you for the reply.

I will think about what testing solution i will use. From what i understand if we want to use Aximmetry we will need 5 broadcast licences? 1 for the composer and 4 for the rendering machines? because in the documentation about multi machines it it says that i would need 1 broadcast de licence for the composer and 4 studio licences for the renderers with watermark removal rented and additional sdi,ndi....ports rented if needed.

"Licenses

For the controlling machine, you need a https://aximmetry.com/learn/faq/licenses/#broadcast-edition.
For the satellite(renderer) machines, any license can be used, depending on the input interface of the camera and the camera tracking system you would like to use with the camera connected to the satellite machine. "

So how is it? how would our setup be? 1 composer, 4 renderers, maybe another pc for unreal so i don't load the composer to much, 1 camera with ncam tracking, maybe 1 additional sdi input - in ndisplay i use 1 sdi input for timecode master, 1 sdi output for recording and eventual ar . on the composer maybe. What licence i would need on each machine?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the Aximmetry Editions document is short in detail, and the multi-machine document is a bit outdated. A new version is being written to include all recent changes for multi-machine setups available in Aximmetry version 2025.1.0. For a multi-machine setup involving AR or Green Screen production, without a professional camera tracking system like Ncam, you would need only one Broadcast license.
There is a comprehensive summary of license requirements for each production type available here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/which-aximmetry-is-right-for-you/how-many-licenses-do-you-need/#green-screen-and-ar-production

Each machine in the LED Wall setup requires a Broadcast license. Even the controller machine, which might not be rendering any content, still needs a Broadcast license because it functions as the controller.

Note that Aximmetry's system is distinct from Unreal's Ndisplay.
With Aximmetry, you might be able to use fewer computers to handle the same amount of pixel rendering, depending on the resolution at which you render the Frustum:

Additionally, all computers that output to the LED Wall will employ Unreal to render and receive camera tracking data from Ncam. This is needed to minimize any delay, which is crucial in LED Wall productions.

For rendering AR graphics (with camera tracking) live on a separate computer using Aximmetry, it will also require a Broadcast license because Ncam is considered a professional camera tracking system.

Lastly, I hadn't noticed in your previous message that you are using Studio SE. Keep in mind that the SE versions do not support Unreal—only Aximmetry-rendered scenes. You need the DE (Dual Engine) version for each computer that renders with Unreal.

Warmest regards,
