Ann Arbor, MI (2 April 2013) – Blue Newt Software and Calytrix Technologies announce the integration of Blue Newt’s Blue Sprocket Engine and PixelTransit image generator with Calytrix’s LVC Game. Calytrix's LVC Game interface software provides third-party products with DIS/HLA connectivity, permitting serious training in distributed simulation and training environments. Blue Newt Software’s Blue Sprocket Engine is a fully modern rendering and simulation pipeline for serious developers. PixelTransit is a high-performance clustered image generator built on top of the Blue Sprocket Engine.

With LVC Game, Blue Sprocket Engine and PixelTransit users can now participate in small to very large scale, DIS/HLA-based, distributed simulations with other Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) participants.

"With LVC Game, Blue Newt can better meet the needs of DIS/HLA interoperability in the dismounted, air to ground, and vehicle simulation markets," said Matthew Cabrera, Blue Newt Software’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

"LVC Game for the Blue Sprocket Engine and PixelTransit image generator system combines high performance interoperability and high performance 3D graphics," said Damon Curry, International Sales Manager at Calytrix Technologies. "That's a great combination for simulation-based training."
