Overdrive is rapidly becoming the industry standard for performance of hydraulic and electromechanical Props and Creatures, and it is a valuable part of Motion Capture environments and Meta-data collection systems. Incorporating maximally digital motion control technology and an acclaimed user interface, Overdrive is the tool of choice for interfacing with the real world in modern filmmaking environments.

"Motion Management" is the coordination of motion on-set, whether real-world or virtual. It represents the integration of the user with real time pre-visualization, cameras, motion bases & gimbals, animatronics, motion capture, and CGI virtual props and environments. As the hub of a streaming motion network, Overdrive can combine and distribute Meta-data in hard real time applications. Continuing development targets the interfacing of Overdrive with a variety of digital products and systems.

With Overdrive at the center of a production environment, operators have portable, user-friendly tools to meet creative needs efficiently.

The Overdrive system runs in many different configurations. The core system kit is available as a 19" rack-mount, a portable ("lunchbox"), as a laptop, or embedded ("headless").
