Netherlands public broadcaster L1 has deployed robot camera control from Telemetrics in its new and upgraded facilities.
Serving the Dutch province of Limberg, L1 has built a new production studio and upgraded an existing control room with Telemetrics’ robotic solutions.
The installation includes an OmniGlide Roving Pedestal (with an LP-S5 head), five HP-S5 pan/tilt heads and a reFrame Server, which extends the automatic camera tracking capabilities of reFrame software to all robotic cameras in the studio. An RCCP-2A STS robotics control panel includes Telemetrics’ AI-assisted reFrame Automatic Talent and Object Tracking, providing the broadcaster with enhanced tracking, said the company. Grass Valley LDX C92 box-style cameras with Canon lenses are used with the P/T heads.
“We chose Telemetrics because we wanted to be more flexible and less dependent on the availability of camera operators,” said Bart Cuijpers, freelance AV system engineer at L1.
“Also, the OmniGlide rover is able to do complicated moves. Human operators can’t do extremely complex movements and repeat them identically and consistently. In fact, there’s not much we can’t do with the new Telemetrics equipment.”
