Aximmetry

Aximmetry is real-time 3D virtual studio software for virtual production, with its main application running on Windows. Its Broadcast & Film edition provides chroma keying, calibration, live compositing and XR features such as LED-wall set extension and color calibration. That edition supports unlimited SDI and NDI I/O ports and lists SMPTE 2110, SRT and newsroom MOS protocols. Unreal Engine integration plugins are included, and professional camera tracking systems are supported only in Broadcast & Film. Aximmetry lists seven virtual stock sets: three for Unreal Engine and four for its native engine. The free Studio Limited edition has no watermark, one NDI channel and basic tracking, but cannot run Unreal scenes. Aximmetry also offers an AI Assistant and MCP support for connecting third-party AI agents. Using the Assistant requires an AI-provider API key, while AI integration requires a Maintenance+ plan or subscription. The iOS Aximmetry Eye companion app works with desktop software for tracking data, mobile preview and SRT camera-feed streaming. Studio Limited is free; paid plans are listed from $199/mo. The Broadcast & Film lifetime license is $5,990, paid once, with taxes and other public dues excluded.

Aximmetry offers a free limited edition and a Broadcast & Film package with broader production and tracking tools. Choose with care if Unreal scenes or professional camera tracking are required, since Studio Limited lacks the former and tracking is edition-specific.

Aximmetry may suit virtual-production teams using Windows who need live compositing, XR features or camera tracking. Studio Limited may fit users who need basic tracking and one NDI channel without running Unreal scenes.

Aximmetry is real-time 3D virtual-studio software aimed at broadcasters, virtual-production teams and studios building live composite scenes. It is strongest when you need broadcast I/O, camera tracking and XR production in one Windows application, while smaller setups should examine the edition limits before committing.

Overview

Aximmetry combines live compositing with virtual sets, tracking and broadcast connectivity. Broadcast & Film includes the Aximmetry Chroma Keyer and Calibrator, plus XR workflows such as LED-wall set extension and color calibration. Its seven listed stock sets provide three Unreal Engine environments and four native Aximmetry Engine environments, giving teams ready-made starting points without making the software a general-purpose video editor.

The system is built for live production rather than casual content creation. Broadcast & Film supports unlimited SDI and NDI I/O ports, along with SMPTE 2110, SRT and newsroom MOS protocols. HTTP control, RSS web access, image and XML/JSON data, and text or binary communication over WebSocket, TCP, UDP and serial connections make it suitable for integrating newsroom, control-room and data-driven workflows.

Key features

Virtual production and tracking

The Chroma Keyer, Calibrator, live compositing and LED-wall set extension address the core demands of studio and XR work. Unreal Engine integration plugins are included with Broadcast & Film, but that capability is edition-specific: Studio Limited cannot run Unreal scenes. Professional camera-tracking systems are also restricted to Broadcast & Film, while Studio Limited provides only basic tracking.

AI and integrations

A built-in AI Assistant and MCP support can connect Aximmetry to third-party AI agents. The Assistant needs an API key from the chosen AI provider, and AI integration requires a Maintenance+ plan or subscription. That makes the feature more relevant to managed production environments than to users seeking an unrestricted free AI add-on.

Free edition

Studio Limited is a useful entry point: it costs nothing, adds no watermark, includes one NDI channel and basic tracking. Its single NDI channel and lack of Unreal-scene support are meaningful constraints for multi-source or Unreal-centered studios, so it is best for evaluation, simpler productions or teams that do not need professional camera tracking.

Pricing

Aximmetry uses a freemium model, with paid plans from 199 USD per month. Studio Limited is free and includes one NDI channel, basic tracking and no watermark, but cannot run Unreal scenes.

The Broadcast & Film lifetime license costs 5,990 USD once (4,990 EUR), excluding taxes and other public dues. The purchased version can be used without a time limit and includes the latest software versions during the first year. It is the clearest fit for organizations that need Broadcast & Film capabilities without an ongoing license term, although the first-year version entitlement and separate Maintenance+ requirements matter for long-term planning.

Maintenance+ unlocks AI integration and access to the support ticketing system. Aximmetry also lists forum support and paid support services; a valid Maintenance+ plan is required to purchase those services. A free trial is offered, but no trial duration is stated.

Platforms

The desktop application runs on Windows: supported systems include Windows 11, Windows 10 64-bit version 1803 or later, and Windows Server 2019 or later. Aximmetry Eye is a companion iOS app, not a mobile version of the studio software. It works with companion desktop software to provide tracking data, mobile preview and SRT camera-feed streaming.

Who it's for

Aximmetry suits broadcasters, virtual-production studios, XR teams and facilities that need live compositing, professional tracking and extensive SDI/NDI or network integration. Broadcast & Film is the appropriate choice when Unreal scenes, unlimited broadcast I/O or professional camera-tracking systems are central to the workflow.

Studio Limited fits smaller Windows teams validating a setup, producing simpler NDI-based work or using basic tracking. It is not the right edition for Unreal-led stages or productions that require professional tracking. Mobile users can use Aximmetry Eye for camera-feed and tracking support, but the production application remains Windows-based.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broadcast-ready connectivity: Unlimited SDI and NDI I/O, SMPTE 2110, SRT and MOS support address demanding live-production routing.
• Strong XR toolkit: Chroma keying, calibration, LED-wall set extension and color calibration target real virtual-production requirements.
• Capable free entry: Studio Limited has no watermark and includes one NDI channel and basic tracking.
• Broad control options: HTTP, RSS, XML/JSON, WebSocket, TCP, UDP and serial communication support integration with external systems.

Cons

• Edition boundaries are substantial: Unreal scenes and professional camera tracking require Broadcast & Film, limiting the free edition for advanced stages.
• Windows dependency: The main application does not run on macOS, Linux or mobile platforms.
• AI has an added requirement: AI integration needs both an API key and Maintenance+.
• Professional ownership cost: The lifetime license requires a 5,990 USD upfront payment, with taxes excluded.

Alternatives

For conventional editing rather than virtual studio production, Wondershare Filmora covers Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows; its free plan exports with a watermark. CapCut is a mobile-focused, freemium editor with free templates and cloud storage across major platforms.

VSDC Free Video Editor offers free video and audio effects, broad format support and 4K-or-higher workflows on iOS and Windows, while its Pro plan is $29.99 annually. Movavi Video Editor is a general editor with a $19.95 monthly plan that removes watermarks and caps on video or audio length.

Final Cut Pro is the better fit for Apple-only editing workflows through Apple Creator Studio at $12.99 a month. KineMaster targets cross-platform editing with a $7.99 monthly Premium plan and 10 GB cloud storage. For specialized tracking, Driver4VR is a dedicated mobile full-body-tracking option, while Houdini is a broader 3D tool for teams that need procedural production rather than live broadcast operation.

Verdict

Choose Aximmetry when your studio needs Windows-based live compositing, XR set work, professional tracking and serious broadcast connectivity, especially with Unreal integration. Look elsewhere if you want a conventional editor, a cross-platform desktop application or advanced Unreal and tracking capabilities without the Broadcast & Film cost and Maintenance+ obligations.
