NAB 2024: Ross Video Launches Artimo, a Free-Roaming Robotics Studio System

Ross Video has launched Artimo (pronounced ‘art-e-mo’), a studio robotics camera solution that redefines flexibility, creativity, and practicality in studio settings. Designed to meet the demands of modern broadcast and production environments, Artimo offers unparalleled movement and control for producers and directors, setting a new standard in the industry.

Artimo addresses the common challenges faced with traditional studio camera movement solutions such as pedestals, dollies, and jibs. It offers quiet, fast, programmable moving shots without the limitations of fixed rails, markers, or the need for perfectly smooth studio surfaces. Artimo’s elevation system delivers a wide range of camera heights, from below the desk to above head height, supporting a full payload, including broadcast cameras, lenses, teleprompters, and talent monitors.

Artimo is meticulously crafted to meet the needs of engineers, set designers, producers, and creative directors. This revolutionary system is suited for various applications, from new studios, to upgrading older robotic systems, and can make the transition from manual operations to automated environments easy, while enhancing the visual appeal of productions.

“With traditional broadcast studios changing, increasing use of LEDs, more versatility from studios, and the need to have more on-air movement to engage and entertain the audience, we designed Artimo,” says Karen Walker, Vice-President of Camera Motion Systems. “Artimo redefines studio robotics, removing known issues and providing an enhanced experience.”
