StarTracker Wireless Kit

The Wireless Kit is well suited to green screen virtual production, because it enables handheld and Steadicam rigs to move freely within the studio while still feeding accurate, real-time camera tracking data to the graphics engine. This freedom supports more natural presenter movement and creative framing in greenscreen virtual production, without sacrificing AR graphics and VFX alignment.

Yes, the Wireless Kit can complement broadcast robotics systems by allowing certain tracked cameras to operate without physical tethering, enhancing the overall flexibility of newsroom camera robotics and remote production setups. It helps integrate freely moving cameras into virtual production crane systems, PTZ setups and other camera tracking configurations used for live broadcast graphics.

The StarTracker Wireless Kit is engineered to maintain low latency data transmission for camera tracking, ensuring that optical tracking information from StarTracker remains tightly synchronised with broadcast graphics and LED wall content. It is designed to be robust enough for live broadcast environments where signal reliability is critical to on-air AR graphics and visual effects.

In LED wall virtual production environments, the StarTracker Wireless Kit allows operators to move tracked cameras freely around the volume without trailing SDI or tracking cables, reducing trip hazards and increasing creative options. This improved mobility is invaluable for capturing complex moves, walk-and-talks and immersive VFX shots while maintaining accurate real-time camera tracking for Unreal Engine and other render engines.

The StarTracker Wireless Kit transmits StarTracker tracking data over wireless links into the studio network, where it can be received by Unreal Engine and other render engines that expect Mo-Sys F4, FreeD or OpenTrackIO protocols. This ensures that wireless cameras participate fully in real-time AR graphics, broadcast graphics and VFX workflows without special handling in the engine.

The Wireless Kit’s untethered approach makes it suitable for location-based virtual production where cabling is difficult, such as pop-up LED wall volumes or temporary green screen studios. It allows operators to maintain the benefits of absolute optical camera tracking while adapting to varied spaces and remote broadcast workflows.

Yes, StarTracker Max already provides set-and-forget absolute camera tracking, and the Wireless Kit simply removes cable constraints while preserving the same robust tracking performance. Once configured, the combined system delivers low latency camera tracking with minimal operator intervention, making it ideal for busy broadcast studios and virtual production stages.

The Wireless Kit can form part of multi-camera camera tracking systems, enabling certain cameras, such as roaming handheld units, to operate wirelessly alongside tethered robotic or pedestal cameras. This hybrid approach supports flexible broadcast robotics and studio configurations while keeping all cameras synchronised to the same virtual production workflow.

The StarTracker Wireless Kit provides wireless connectivity that frees the StarTracker Max camera tracking system from tethered cabling, enabling unrestricted motion for tracked cameras. It is designed to support more dynamic virtual production camera tracking for LED wall volumes, AR graphics and broadcast graphics workflows that rely on Steadicam, handheld or remote rigs.

The main advantage is unrestricted camera motion: operators gain the creative freedom of wireless operation while retaining the accuracy and reliability of StarTracker Max’s absolute camera tracking. For virtual production, broadcast graphics and VFX pipelines, this combination delivers high-end tracking performance with modern, cable-free ergonomics.
