3D Real-time
Tracking Solutions
Pixotope Camera Tracking is used world wide across broadcast, film, exhibitions, and sports events. With more than 20 years of experience in tracking for real-time visual effects and Virtual Production, Pixotope Camera Tracking is unique in the market as the only system that covers all types of tracking methods, from mechanical to marker-based and TTL (through the lens) in a single software product.

Free camera movement
Even for hand-held shots
Pixotope optical camera tracking systems accurately calculate the 3D position and orientation of the camera body itself. This enables any kind of camera movement within the tracking area, also suitable for hand-held cameras. The additional integration of pre-calibrated zoom lens data allows zoom and focus settings regardless of the camera movements.

Works on any support system
Pixotope optical camera tracking systems measure the position and orientation of the camera body itself and work independently of the camera support system which is currently being applied.
Now, you can simply choose between using a tripod, pedestal, dolly, jib arm, crane, Steadicam or even a hand-held camera. Should you choose to switch to a new or rented support system to suit your clients’ needs.
There is no need to purchase an additional specialized support system, simply upgrade your existing one.

FAQs
The 'Matchmove', or camera-tracking is a crucial task in the virtual production pipeline.
Virtual production relies heavily on real-time camera tracking, which synchronizes live-action footage with the virtual camera so that 3D data and live-action footage can be seamlessly integrated.
With their long history of use in live broadcast AR, mechanical tracking systems are still considered to be dependable and are the mainstay of many sports and live events, especially in larger arenas.
However, mechanical systems can require significant setup time and they require regular realignment. It is also necessary for the camera rig to have a fixed origin from which the movement of the mechanism can be referenced, limiting flexibility.
Optical camera tracking systems, on the other hand, can give far more freedom to move the camera around. Cameras with optical tracking can be moved freely; you can even use a steadicam.
As the tracking sensor typically points upwards or downward rather than into the set, it is unaffected by studio conditions such as lighting configurations, reflections, and plain green screens. Setup can also be relatively quick and easy.
Pixotope offers both marker-based and markerless camera tracking solutions.
Pixotope Tracking Studio Edition is a marker-based solution for tracking in studio environments. Featuring quick set-up and infra-red sensors, the Studio Edition is ideal for busy facilities.
Pixotope Tracking Complete Edition is our comprehensive tracking solution that can use a combination of natural objects and (if needed retro-reflective) markers to work in any environment.
