Vinten Radamec will introduce a robotic camera pedestal positioning system, APS (Absolute Positioning System) at this years IBC show. The APS system integrates with Vinten Radamecs Fusion robotic pedestals, delivering positional accuracy and operational flexibility with free-roaming robotic camera support pedestals.
An APS equipped Fusion pedestal detects unobtrusive, passive retro-reflective targets placed in the studio environment using a scanning laser-based measurement system. This allows operators to free up studio floor space where once a floor target was sited, and removes the need to go through targeting operation when switching from using the pedestal in full-manual mode.
Philip Dalgoutte, product manager at Vinten Radamec, said: It is completely transparent to the operator, automatically detecting its absolute position within the studio environment and providing constant navigation correction to the pedestals core navigation system.
APS is available as both a factory-fit option on the Fusion FP-188 pedestal, or as an upgrade for existing FP-188 or FP-145 pedestals. Vinten Radamec has also developed a range of targets that can be customized by the customer to colour-match their existing studio environment or particular elements of the set.
