Sensor

tracking

This system features a compact optical sensor securely mounted on your broadcast camera, making it easy to aim at walls or ceilings, even on uneven surfaces.

The sensor unit stands out in detecting unique visual markers, ensuring precise measurement of your camera's position and orientation. With 6 degrees of freedom, your camera can move freely in any position or rotation, perfect for dynamic hand-held shots.

The visual information of the sensor camera is required to determine the camera tracking data. Like the human eye, the sensor camera might be blind when using low-light conditions or blinded when using changing show-lights.

To overcome these limitations, the sensor camera can be equipped with an additional infrared LED ring light. It illuminates the retroreflective markers, which reflect the light perfectly to the sensor camera. Now, the sensor camera works regardless of the environmental light, without jerkiness or failures.
