The Mo-Sys StarTracker PTZ is an add-on for the new generation of 4K PTZ cameras which adds 4 axes of camera tracking (X,Y,Z & roll) to reveal the full 3D space of your virtual studio.
The aesthetically pleasing design of the StarTracker PTZ fits around the PTZ camera unit, enabling the full range of camera movement and zoom control.
Simple mounting to tripods, jibs, dollies, and rails, without a traditional camera head.
The combined StarTracker PTZ and PTZ camera can be moved manually or remotely using rails, jibs, or cranes. Because the tracking in StarTracker PTZ is absolute, the camera’s position in the virtual set is always known, and it never requires ‘homing’ on power-up.
As an optional extra, Mo-Sys have developed a control console to mount the StarTracker PTZ and 4K PTZ camera on a jib, and to operate the camera from the end of the jib. This allows full pan, tilt, zoom and focus control, using industry standard Jimmy jib input devices, and creates a highly cost-effective jib package with a remote head and 6 axes tracking for virtual studios and augmented reality.
The StarTracker PTZ takes in PTZ+focus tracking data from the PTZ head, fuses it with its own 6-dof position then sends it out, enabling full 3D 6-axes camera movement in a virtual studio. Whether mounted on a pedestal, rail or jib, the true 3D space of the virtual studio can then be revealed through parallax and perspective changes, creating a more compelling and immersive virtual set experience for the viewer.
The browser-based UI minimises the need for on-board monitors and supports the set-up and control of multiple StarTracker PTZ units across the studio from one interface. It features easy-to-use wizard processes for tasks such as map creation and auto-aligner, and is compatible with browser-based auto-translation tools for multi-language support.
Standard setup functions can be accessed using any common web browser, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera or Edge, by logging into the StarTracker unit’s IP address (http) via the tracking ethernet network or hotspot (USB Wi-Fi connector required), without the need for internet access.
