Our Concept

WHAT IS A 360° PHOTOGRAPHY?

A 360° (degree) photography refers to a series of images of an item taken from differentangles on the same place, and presented in an interactive format, allowing the user to rotatethe item through 360 degrees and zoom on details.

A turning unit is used to rotate the product and to create a single row ‘spin’, typically of 12up to 72 photographs. The number of images is optional and can be set up in Basipcontrolling software which is delivered with the hardware.

After capture, these individual images can be

p gpost-produced for being rendered into asuitable 360 degree viewer format. Typically,only very short post-production is needed(less than 2 minutes for the whole series).

MODULARITY Our tip: You may start with a simple configuration of Robots&accessories to start up your businessand add the equipment extending your possibilities and/or accelerating your workflow.

• Fotorobot.cz equipment range is modular and comprises: Robotic Machines, Control Units, connection cables plus a large range of accessories. Each Robot consists of 1 Robotic Machine 1 Control Unit, PC based

lli f BASIP i ll d d l Ccontrolling software BASIP - installed on your computer and controls: Camera Robots‘ settings, movements, picture downloading. All Robotic Machines share a common Control Unit type which can be easily reprogrammed for another Robotic device.

· Diagnostics are simplified with structured cable connections between individual modules, LED indicators and by status information indicated on the Control Unit display.

· All control units are connected via local area network(LAN).LAN connectivity makes it simple to connect additional Robot(s) and any hardware having MAC address, as well as providing more consistent communication and response than other forms of connectivity such as USB.

FOCUS ON MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY

· Speed and accuracy of production

Total productivity depends very considerably on how quickly you place the object onthe axis of rotation, Using Laser Sets of Fotorobot.cz system the task is solved veryswiftly and precisely.swiftly and precisely.

· Wide range of robots controlled in the same way

Wide range of robots from table-top size upto a 5m diameter floor „Carousel 5000“are all controlled in the same way, saving time both in training and in the workplace.

・Patented synchronisation of the base and overhead robots

Synchronised rotation is useful for objects such as bags with handles or high strap shoesthat need upper support. However, this feature is also advantageous to show sets - forexample a necklace hangs and the rest of the set (earrings etc.) lays, or a ski boot hangsand a recommended binding lays beneath.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION

· Robust construction to eliminate vibration

The machines are extremely solid and stable, ensuring pictures of the highest quality.

· Combination of massive industrial adjustable legs for maximal stability and travelling wheels facilitates the change of layout in your studio

Heavy-duty robots with strong legs are easily movable on robust castorwheels.

· Effective cable management (including power supply and data download from the camera).

The overall length of cables in your studio might be measured in kilometres, andreasonable systemic cable placing is essential for safe and effective work. Oursystem eliminates the problem by allowing cable storage within the table frame,reducing cables to one for each turning module.

CONTROL UNIT

· The Robotic Machines are controlled by a freestandinghardwareControl Unit via a PC interface that ensures the expectedspeed and reliability of performanceFor consistency and reliability all the processing is done in the Control Unit so youonly need a basic low capacity PC or even a netbook for your work.

· The built in image counter allows image numbers to be limited, in case, for example, the robot is rented or on subscription.

Use the Robots according to your requirements. You can combine your own photo production with robot hire or base the business entirely on rental.

· A number of axes is computed simultaneously to produce thecontrolled movement of Vario and Vario XL robots.

These precise and flexible movements are essential for accurate automatic camerashots at every angle. Our design ensures that all settings are handled by the controlsoftware.
