Mo-Sys Designed the B20 to deliver the smoothest possible camera moves, using techniques taken from the world of motion control, and focusing on precision movement, crisp acceleration, zero backlash, and ultra-low noise.
Virtual production, whether for broadcast or film, is the fastest growing market sector. It relies on seamless blending of real camera elements with virtual graphics, and so camera movement is critical. Any unencoded camera movement (e.g. excessive drive play, juddering, or backlash in the remote head) isn’t tolerated because it results in obvious graphic slippage, breaking the virtual production illusion.
Both Pan and Tilt axes on the B20 are encoded, enabling the tracking data to be used live for virtual production, and/or to be recorded for downstream VFX compositing. Lens encoders can be added to extract focus and zoom tracking data, and a StarTracker camera tracking system can be added to extract 6-axis camera tracking data.
