With the support of an Epic Games MegaGrant, Monogram’s integration with Unreal Engine provides a familiar way for filmmakers to tell their stories with tactile tools. The integration consists of two parts:
Out-of-box controls, the ability to control any selected actor with numerous functions and access to pre-built profiles and presets made for object transformation, camera controls, lighting, and sequencer.
Custom integration, the Monogram Unreal Engine SDK will allow developers to integrate controls for unique instances and customized Unreal Engine environments with the help of Blueprints.
Download it at Unreal Engine Marketplace.
Directors and production crew can leverage the precision of familiar filmmaking processes thanks to Monogram’s tactile tools and get “behind the camera” even in new virtual production environments. Control focus, zoom, aperture, and camera movements.
Adjust intensity, pattern, and color of virtual lights for a smoother experience on set. Synchronize virtual and digital lights with access to the DMX plugin.
Pre-vis and real-time production operators can seamlessly control on set recording and on-set playback.
Control location, rotation, scale of any actor in Unreal Engine.
Mix and match the number of modules, layout, functionality, and sensitivity of each input to customize for diverse production needs.
Using the Monogram SDK, the Screen Industries Research and Training Centre (SIRT) used Blueprints to produce two unique integrations for Creative Console. nDisplay Control Toolkit enables Monogram hardware to control camera settings of both the inner frustum camera and root display cluster cameras. Multi-Operator Connection Tool allows multiple Monogram Consoles from different workstations to provide input into a single Unreal Engine instance.

Control camera settings at runtime with the nDisplay Control Toolkit. Translate and rotate to position content on display as needed. Utilize Null objects to adjust positioning of actors and game objects. Check out the demo here.
Connect multiple workstations and Creative Consoles to a single Unreal scene. Multi-operator support allows the entire crew to collaborate in real-time. Check out the demo here.
Creative Console offers native support to Unreal Engine (4.25 & 4.26) with 3 powerful integrations: Monogram Creative Console Integration, nDisplay Control Toolkit & Multi-operator Connection Tool.
Monogram gives filmmakers precise and intuitive control over virtual cameras and lighting in Cine Tracer. For Unreal Engine Virtual Production users and developers, the Monogram Creator app and UE4 makes integration seamless and easy through the Blueprint Scripting system.
Tactile tools like Monogram will help us pave the way for new and interactive experiences where both technical and non-technical crew members can easily and actively participate in the filmmaking process thereby streamlining production time.
Creative Console offers operators a highly flexible control solution, and the ability to pick and choose modules and change them as needed is very elegant. Creative Console is a very easy-to-use and intuitive system that’s perfect for broadcasters working with Ross Video’s UX control platform and Voyager graphics rendering solution.
Monogram's tactile, precision tools are one of the essential tools we use to bring a physical touch to the digital worlds
