CamPilot

Navigation system for cinematography in a virtual studio

Up to this point, virtual sets have been a challenge for camera operators, as moving to exact positions on the set or replicating camera movements was difficult.
CamPilot by rtleaders is the solution to accomplish these tasks effortlessly from now on.

Camera operators can see their 2D positions as well as their chosen target in the virtual set on a touch panel. Positions required by the current broadcast can be set and called. CamPilot by rtleaders is a vendor independent, upgradable navigation for cameras and other manually controlled devices on the virtual studio.

Cosrobe integraton adds considerable benefits

If all or some components of studio infrastructure are implemented in Cosrobe by rtleaders, CamPilot develops additional opportunities. Collision detection of other active elements in the virtual set, programming and visualisation of movement paths, and setting and calling required camera positions via newsroom systems (e.g. Avid).
