e-Sensor

Yes, the e-Sensor can be combined with StarTracker optical tracking to provide a fully encoded virtual production camera head, where positional and head movement data are fused for maximum accuracy. This combination is particularly powerful for studios seeking high-end virtual production camera tracking without full robotic systems.

Yes, the e-Sensor is suitable for smaller studios and virtual production spaces that require tracked fluid head systems but may not have the budget or space for full broadcast robotics. It provides a cost-effective way to introduce camera tracking for AR graphics, VFX and broadcast graphics using existing tripod hardware.

By providing accurate pan and tilt tracking data from the fluid head, an encoded fluid head system ensures that AR graphics remain correctly aligned with the scene as the operator moves the camera. This is critical for maintaining realism in virtual production, especially when combining physical sets with virtual backgrounds or LED wall content.

The e-Sensor integrates with Mo-Sys camera tracking systems, supplying head movement data that can be combined with lens and positional tracking information. This complete tracked fluid head system supports complex virtual production workflows, including greenscreen studios and LED wall environments.

By providing consistent, accurate head tracking data, the e-Sensor allows VFX teams to integrate camera moves into their pipelines, ensuring that CG elements match the live-action footage. This is essential for in-camera visual effects workflows and post-production where tracked fluid head movement enhances realism.

The e-Sensor is designed for professional use and can deliver the reliability required for live broadcast graphics and real-time AR graphics applications. Its accurate encoding data helps ensure that on-air visual effects remain stable even under fast-paced camera operations.

The e-Sensor’s ability to deliver accurate tracking from standard fluid heads makes it attractive for corporate communications studios and educational facilities that want to teach virtual production techniques. It enables these users to experiment with AR graphics and visual effects using familiar camera support equipment.

In green screen virtual production, a tracked fluid head system ensures that virtual backgrounds and graphics stay glued to the set as the camera pans and tilts. This reduces compositing errors and enhances the realism of broadcast graphics and VFX-heavy programmes.

The main advantage is that it replaces existing fluid heads with fully encoded virtual production camera heads, reducing the need for new robotic hardware while still enabling sophisticated AR graphics and VFX. This makes encoded fluid head systems accessible to a wide range of studios, from broadcast to corporate and education.

The e-Sensor is a high-precision encoded solution that turns popular Cartoni fluid heads into fully tracked camera heads for virtual production. The encoded fluid head system allows pan and tilt data to be fed into AR graphics, broadcast graphics and visual effects pipelines.
