Free-d2: a Shotoku alternative for virtual reality tracking in studios

In addition to this next-generation technology for virtual reality, Shotoku will introduce its new compact and lightweight TP500 pneumatic pedestal at IBC 2015.

Shotoku will carry out demonstrations of its new solution for virtual reality at IBC 2015. This new generation technology, called Free-d2, does not require physical encoder devices connected to the movement axes of the camera mount.

The system, based on advanced algorithms developed within the BBC Research and Development centre, uses simple ceiling markers to precisely determine the exact position and orientation of the study camera, it said.

A small camera is attached to the camera and constantly “sees” the lighting grid area where the markers are placed. This allows you to use any steadycam mount or even handheld cameras.

On the other hand, at its stand at IBC it will show the new TP500, a compact pneumatic pedestal with a load capacity of up to 55 kilos. Its modular and robust design allows easy transportation between different locations on a set or in a street production.
