Shotoku said its combined TP-200VR pedestal and SX-300 VR head produce a VR tracking system without compromise in accuracy or ease of operation. The pedestal/head combo offers light-touch control and robust stability to match even the most demanding applications.

Accurate pan, tilt, zoom, focus, X, Y and height data output keeps the VR graphics system precisely synchronized to the camera’s floor position, orientation and height.

Features of the system include the lightweight, two-stage pneumatic TP-200 VR pedestal, the high-resolution and robust EFP SX-300VR head, fast and simple referencing using origin sheet on studio floor, unlimited X-Y tracking area, RS422 serial data output and industry-standard data protocols.

“Tracking systems must be precise, but also highly reliable, simple to use and with full broadcast-quality operation at all times,” said James Eddershaw, Shotoku’s sales director. “The TP-200/300VR system meets all these challenging demands in a lightweight, cost-effective package requiring no complex set-up or specialist operations.”

Shotoku will also be highlighting its TP500 compact and lightweight pneumatic pedestal capable of supporting camera payloads of up to 121 pounds and ranges from 26.2 to 58.5-inches in height. It is suitable for multi-location use such as OB, studio or event production.
