Telemetrics is showcasing
their innovative
BT-X3/Z3-BS Elevating
Wall Mount Camera System here at IBC2008. The
BT-X3/Z3-BS is a heavy-duty remotely
controlled camera positioning system offering a range of unique and innovative
features for virtual set and professional video production applications.
The wall mount adds a movement similar to
that of a crane shot with robotic control.
“The BT-X3/Z3-BS is designed
to maximize efficiency and functionality and help deliver a more effective and economical
approach to production environments,” said Anthony Cuomo, Vice President and
General Manager, Telemetrics, Inc.
“The
initial deployment of the system has been hugely successful by providing
Canada’s Global
TV with a highly versatile and efficient means of implementing remote regional
production centers to produce and control the various newscasts across the
country.”
The BT-X3/Z3-BS’ belt-driven
track system offers both horizontal and vertical positioning to pan and tilt
camera movement which adds a movement similar to that of a crane shot with
robotic control.
The system can be run
with various Telemetrics control panels and computer software which offer
position, preset and motion control capability.
The X and Z tracks each measure up to three meters (9.84 ft), can bear a
trolley load of 70 pounds and can move smoothly at a minimum speed of 0.1 ft/second
and a maximum speed of 2.5 ft/second.
The BT-X3/Z3-BS’ track
lengths and configuration are custom assembled to the customer’s
specification.
In order to accommodate a
variety of installation choices, the system comes complete with wall, ceiling
and floor mounting brackets, floor leveling feet, cable track and pan/tilt head
with motor drive panels and motors.
For virtual studio
applications, the system relies on the optional X-Z positional encoders which
deliver precise (~ 13000 count/inch) data.
The positional information is processed into serial format and sent to
the virtual studio computer.
