TV PRODUCTION FACILITIES

News studios Polyvalent studios

These are the perfect applications to installa remote camera control system. A permanentand non-intrusive installation allows abroadcast company to produce TV programswith a dramatic cost reduction.

Many programs are designed following anautomated sequence. Movetech's Camera ControlSystem lets automate sequences of images withremarkable advantages:

One operator is able to control and managemany cameras, helped with an easy graphicaluser interface, saving costs compared withclassic manual camera operation.

Native interface with Virtual RealitySystems (VRS). Nowadays, TV facilities areextended with systems able to recreatevirtual reality studios. An importantrequirement is real time, where frame toframe head position has to be reported tothe virtual reality computer. Movetech'sControl System supports this featurenatively.

Original shots from heads installed on difficultpositions can be obtained.

Combinations of heads plus accessories:Movetech heads may be mounted and extendedwith movetech accessories like: pedestals,electromechanical chariots, cranes, etc

REMOTE HEADSRHG - 700

Movetech's remotely controlled head is designedto support a broadcast camera and even ateleprompter.Their high-tech mechanics and electronics design toaccomplish broadcast requirements.

Reliable mechanics design.Smooth and precise operation in both modes:manually or automatically operated.Reliable mechanics allow movement repeatability,backlash-free.

Low maintenance mechanics free of adjustmentsensures continuous operation.

Easily adapts most of tripods and can be invertedand mounted on ceilings depending on customersneeds; in this latter case special supports couldbe necessary.If inverted configuration is usedthe mechanical design allows the tilt axis torotate full 180 ° arc.

Contact movetech for recommendation andtechnical assistance.

Embedded electronics Real time control up to 6-axis:

Camera: Pan, tilt and Z-axis*.Lens: Zoom, Focus and iris

High precision sensors to ensure accurate control.

An Integrated power supply allows standard120/220V AC to power the head.

A local joystik can be optionally added.

LAN connectivityTCP/IP protocol ensures easy interfacing.Directly interfaces with the rest of the system viastandard LAN RJ-45 connector.* Free Z-axis is reserved for a special application. For example: anelectromechanical traveling could be connected directly to the headto provide an extra axis remotely controlled.

CENTRAL CONTROLHOSTThe Central Control Host (CCH) is a completeenvironment to automate operation andadminister of the whole set of system featuresthrough a graphical user interface, and managedby a single user.Based on PC system with an standard WindowsWorkstation as the operating system, the listof features of the Central Control System aredetailed below:

Multihead automatic controloperation modes

CCH has a powerful user interface able to store& play preset shots.The graphical user interface displays a thumbnailcorresponding to the stored position as anintuitive reference for the operator. Up to Harddisk capacity limit multiaxis head positions canbe stored and played.The head under CCH control has two automaticoperating modes:- Automatic movement with linear profile- Record & Play of the joystick movement

Multihead manual control operation

Five reliable and precise sensors let the user tooperate the selected head manually with precisionand smoothness required for broadcastenvironment.Joystick speed response on Pan and Tilt axis iscompensated according current zoom position toease the operation and precision.

Integration details:

High-resolution sensors tied with a high speedLAN allows integration with Virtual realitygenerated scenarios operating at real time.

Integration with VR software applicationsmanufacturers are already available, contactmovetech for further details.

CONSOLESTouchscreen User InterfaceA touchscreen may be optionally added to facilitate automatic movement control in both modes:automatic movement with linear profile and Record of the joystick movement and play.

Multihead control operation modes

Movetech has developed a powerful user interfaceapplication able to store & play preset shots indifferent modes. The graphical user interfacedisplays thumbnails corresponding to the storedpositions as an intuitive reference for the user.Up to hard-disk capacity limit multi-axis headthumbnails positions can be stored and playedcategorized in Programs.

Movetech heads under application control havetwo automatic operating modes:

Automatic movement with linearprofile

Users store shots and their corresponding digitizedimages as thumbnails. When the head is orderedto reach the stored shot, the head calculatesthe shortest way to get that position, movingthe head axis simultaneously. Also, user is ableto select sets of two thumbnail positions: STARTand END positions and associate a selectabletransition time between them.

Record of the joystick movement &play

Meanwhile the user is manually operating thejoysticks, the system records samples every multi-axis position. Once the array is stored, the usermay order to play the stored sequence with highrepeatability precision.

Simultaneous Automatic & Manual Control Operation

The user interface allows simultaneous automatic movements over the different heads at thesame time. The movements are triggered via the touch-screen or mouse. At the same time, theapplication allows manual operation over the selected head using the console joystick.
