Vinten is launching a broadcast-ready control solution that works with PTZ cameras from Sony, Canon, and Panasonic, alongside the company’s robotic heads.
According to the company, VEGA Lite offers advanced PTZ control alongside integration for dedicated PTZ supports and higher-payload Vinten robotic heads, allowing broadcasters to adopt PTZ cameras within established workflows.
The solution is designed for broadcast environments where PTZ cameras are used alongside traditional production tools, said Vinten, including secondary studios, streaming spaces, and stand-up presentation positions, as well as facilities built around PTZ-centric workflows.
Designed for live broadcast requirements, VEGA Lite incorporates broadcast-style operational features including a shot grid for immediate visibility of preset shots, multi-shots for flexible output, joystick profile editing to suit operator preferences, and instant recall of presets for specific sets and shows.
“PTZ cameras are now a permanent part of broadcast production, but the control layer has not kept pace,” said Sergio Brighel, EVP robotics and prompting technology, Videndum.
“VEGA Lite applies the same control philosophy and workflow logic used in full robotic studios to PTZ environments, while integrating with third-party cameras, supports, and automation systems. This gives broadcasters the freedom to design flexible studios today, without being tied to a single vendor, and a clear path to scale from PTZ control to full robotic systems on one consistent platform.”
