RigFX®: Lens and motion tracking aggregator for Virtual Studio operators!

RigFX® is the latest entry into our motion tracking Hubs that aggregates data from a wide range of internal gear encoders and data protocols

WHAT IS RigFX® ?

Developed as a true ‘set & forget’ device, our solution relies on a small form factor Hub unit that aggregates and merges in real-time the positional tracking data gathered from a wide range of internal gear encoders and data protocols, with FIZ lens metadata from any kind of optics.

Looking ahead to latest protocols for lens data, RigFX® is already compatible with both OpenTrackIO and CanonCV protocol.

RigFX® aggregates the tracking data from:

  • Cranes
  • Jibs
  • Dollies
  • PTZs
  • Sliders

Premium features

FIZ lens data

Native support of FIZ data from Canon, Fujinon,
Angénieux servo-encoded optics, CMotion & Preston compatible lens encoders
Loadable lens file data
Compliant with smart protocols like /i1 (Cooke and Zeiss), OpenTrackIO, and CanonCV!

Custom 3D rigs

Build your own 3D rig in using multiple sources and save each config:
- Pan/Tilt head on dolly
- PTZ on a crane
- Etc…

Set & Forget

Tracking data transmitted over network (FreeD, OpenTrackIO),
with user-friendly webapp to monitor and set-up each configuration

Network over IP

Instant boot with less than 5 seconds for the system to be up and running

No calibration needed on reboot!

Signal sync

Data is perfectly synchronized at each captured frame using Genlock and Timecode

RigFX - OptiTrack Edition

The perfect companion for your setup, featuring:

  • Optitrack NatNet protocol compatibility (Motive stream)
  • x1 RigidBody input
  • Network time monitoring for perfect sync

How simple RigFX® can be interfaced?

In Motive: create a RigidBody from your physical camera device and enable data stream to RigFX®

In RigFX: associate a lens, set the transform offset (using CalibFX® suite) to get a perfect sync (time and position) camera tracking device

RigFX - Cartoni Edition

Perfect companion for Cartoni’s E-Series gear!

Natively compatible with Cartoni’s data protocol and internal encoders equiping their E-SERIES for Virtual Production, we have specifically developed the RigFX® Cartoni edition which features:

  • x4 channels Cartoni encoder inputs
  • Perfect fit for any E-JIBO configuration
  • Ideal for Cartoni’s E-Series Pan/Tilt Heads for AR applications using heavy lenses!

Motorized PTZ Slider

The motorized “PTZ Slider” is designed to move PTZ cameras across a 1.40m travel distance.

The PTZ Slider can be mounted using clamps on 50mm tubes or directly onto lighting stands. The entire system weighs less than 10kg, making it exceptionally easy to transport and deploy.

Built for precision, the PTZ Slider is perfectly stable and enables smooth, broadcast-quality camera movements.

Control & Automation:

  • Operating Modes: Sliders can be controlled in LIVE or Preset mode. You can also create memory loops for continuous, infinite movement.
  • Connectivity: The units communicate over IP via a web app, allowing them to be controlled from anywhere in the world with no distance limitations.
  • Versatility: The PTZ Slider operates in any orientation: horizontal, vertical, ceiling-mounted, or even diagonally.
  • Integration: The system is fully automatable and can be managed via new control stations, touch interfaces, or third-party systems.

Compatibility:

All new control stations are fully compatible with Panasonic and Sony PTZ cameras.
