4-axis Encoder Kit

Yes, the Encoder Kit is designed to integrate with Mo-Sys camera tracking systems and virtual production workflows, feeding crane motion data into render engines alongside lens and camera tracking information. This enables a fully encoded broadcast robotic crane system that supports complex AR graphics, VFX and LED wall interactions.

Yes, the Encoder Kit’s precise crane tracking data can feed both real-time virtual production engines and traditional broadcast graphics systems, supporting hybrid studios that use AR graphics alongside conventional overlays. This flexibility allows broadcasters to gradually transition from legacy workflows to modern LED wall and virtual production pipelines.

By tracking every axis of crane movement, the Encoder Kit ensures that visual effects and AR graphics maintain correct depth, scale and alignment during complex sweeps and arcs. This enhanced realism is essential for cinematic virtual production, live events and sports coverage that rely on dramatic crane shots with integrated VFX.

The Encoder Kit mounts directly to the crane axes with no scaling required, delivering true 1:1 rotational data that accurately reflects boom, pan, tilt and rotation movements. This makes it an ideal Jimmy Jib tracking encoder kit, transforming familiar crane systems into fully tracked devices for virtual production and camera tracking for LED volumes.

When mounted on cranes in LED wall virtual production volumes, the Encoder Kit delivers high-fidelity crane motion data so that the camera tracking system can correctly interpret parallax and perspective changes relative to the LED volume. This contributes to more realistic virtual production scenes where camera crane moves, LED content and VFX are perfectly synchronised.

The Encoder Kit is part of Mo-Sys’s broader camera tracking ecosystem and can be combined with StarTracker optical tracking to provide complete positional and rotational data for cranes and jibs. This integrated approach creates a powerful virtual production crane system for LED wall virtual production, green screen studios and broadcast robotics applications.

The Encoder Kit can be installed on studio cranes used in newsroom camera robotics, providing accurate positional information that enhances virtual studio graphics and augmented reality overlays. By adding crane tracking system capabilities to existing hardware, it helps broadcasters modernise their studios without replacing entire crane fleets.

The Encoder Kit is purpose-built for virtual production crane tracking, offering direct mounting and 1:1 rotational data output without complex scaling or custom calibration. This reduces integration time and ensures reliable performance for Jimmy Jib encoder tracking in high-pressure broadcast and VFX environments.

The Mo-Sys Encoder Kit is a 4‑axis tracking encoder system designed to bolt onto existing camera cranes and jibs, providing precise rotational data for virtual production crane tracking. It converts conventional jibs and Jimmy Jibs into tracked devices, feeding accurate crane motion into AR graphics, broadcast graphics and VFX workflows.

Accurate jib tracking ensures that AR graphics and augmented reality graphics stay locked to the physical environment as the crane moves, avoiding sliding or misaligned virtual elements. By providing precise crane encoder data, the Encoder Kit allows virtual production crane systems to support sophisticated visual effects and broadcast graphics that match every camera move.
