IMMUNE TO CHANGES IN LIGHT CONDITIONS

Our simple-to-use Marker Edition camera tracking system adapts to changing light conditions and supports various marker patterns for optimal performance in diverse environments.

It excels in different lighting conditions, using infrared retro-reflective markers or infrared markers for seamless chroma keying in green/blue screen setups.

Even if some markers are partially obscured, the Marker Edition will instantly calculate the accurate camera position.

This system features a compact optical sensor securely mounted on your broadcast camera, making it easy to aim at walls or ceilings, even on uneven surfaces. 
 
The sensor unit stands out in detecting unique visual markers, ensuring precise measurement of your camera's position and orientation.

With 6 degrees of freedom, your camera can move freely in any position or rotation, perfect for dynamic hand-held shots. 

The visual information of the sensor camera is required to determine the camera tracking data. Like the human eye, the sensor camera might be blind when using low-light conditions or blinded when using changing show-lights.
 
To overcome these limitations, the sensor camera can be equipped with an additional infrared LED ring light. It illuminates the retroreflective markers, which reflect the light perfectly to the sensor camera.

Now, the sensor camera works regardless of the environmental light, without jerkiness or failures.
