High-precision control with Shotoku

Shotoku Broadcast Systems will show at IBC a wide range of applications highlighting its line of high capacity control panels, including a new Ethernet control system. It will also display a compact unit, small but high precision, for productions with a single operator as well as its orchestra remote camera management system.

Shotoku Broadcast Systems will show at IBC a wide range of applications highlighting its line of high-capacity control panels including a new Ethernet control system. It will also display a compact unit, small but high precision, for productions with a single operator as well as its orchestra remote camera management system, now available with a touchscreen option, the robotic pedestal for TRP-100 study (one of the star products in the last fairs) as well as a complete range of robotics and solutions for virtual reality. Among the novelties stands out its new TR-HP control panel. It is a unit that offers a very small footprint while maintaining camera control with great precision via joystick. The TR-HP is ideal for very economical productions with a single operator in which stored camera positions can be called automatically, being able to a single operator comfortably control several cameras. The joystick next to the rotary control knob allow the operator to make perfect pan movements, Tilt, zoom and focus counting, In addition, with up to 12 assignable and illuminated buttons with LEDs and various mixing functions. The "Auto On-Air" function allows the panel to always be in control of the camera that is in the air, making the operation even easier. Up to three panels can be mounted together It is possible to mount three Hot Panels together in a frame for 19" panels, which adds the control feature to the system “always active” of multiple cameras by joystick. Instant control of a camera is guaranteed as each joystick is permanently selected to the camera. One or more TR-HP Hot Panels can be combined with any of Shotoku's control systems and integrate directly with the simple Ethernet control network. TRP-100 As for shotoku's flagship, the TRP-100 robotic pedestal is compatible with any carrying capacity up to 100 kg while sliding through 750 mm height and up to 300 mm per second. Its advanced navigation and manual control has come to extend the limits of traditional robotic camera control with fast and smooth movement while maintaining accuracy and repeatability which makes it an ideal solution for virtual studies. Its sophisticated navigation system is easily calibrated in a matter of seconds with the marks located anywhere on the floor of the studio.
