CAMEROBOT Sets New Standards in Broadcasting Automation

BAYREUTH, Germany, August 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Bavaria-based Camerobot Systems GmbH has introduced a radical new
approach to broadcasting - by bringing state-of-the-art robotics into the
studio. Camerobot, a robotic system for automating cameras, features a
variety of new technological solutions for longstanding challenges on live
and virtual sets.

    At a time of intense competition among networks, particularly those
offering daily news programming, robotic automation opens up new creative
possibilities. Camerobot, which was recently updated, ensures constant
quality of pictures and frames, thanks to its precision, smooth motion, and
ability to shoot from a variety of angles beyond pan and tilt.

    A 4-meter operating diameter makes it possible to capture broad sweeps
of movement. Tracking shots are programmed in 4ms resolution, guaranteeing
smooth motion and flawless synchronization of real time images and virtual
overlays, even those containing movement. Camerobot can be controlled either
manually with a joystick or in automatic mode via studio automation, wherein
an operator programs a pre-set series of locations. An optional aircushion
system enables the camera to "walk" through the studio.

    A newly redesigned robotic arm from Staubli Robotics features a more
force-resistant tilt unit, which minimizes vibration while providing greater
agility with lower weight and fewer cables around the attachment interface.
The tilt unit is integrated into the control loop of Camerobot's CS8C robot
controller - a real-time control system five times faster than video imaging
speed, enabling pinpoint precision.
