The core part of the CamBot.system software has already been used productively for years and is continuously developed further. Through many years of studio use, the software and user interface has grown steadily in close cooperation with the needs of the operators and thus offers the optimal interface.

The further development of CamBot.system is dynamic and project-related. You need an integration or a new functional area for your project? No problem, we focus our development on your project-specific needs!

Automation heißt bei uns nicht, dass man sich fix auf einen aufwändig vorausgeplanten Ablauf festlegen muss. CamBot beinhaltet diverse Features, welche eine dynamische Automation ermöglichen. Sowohl unser eigener Automatismus als auch der oder die Nutzer, können jederzeit auf unerwartete und spontane Situationen reagieren. Dadurch bleibt man immer Herr der Situation.

Robotic actions can be planned completely and in every detail in our software. Any number of moves and presets can be stored in order to be replayed exactly and as often as desired. Depending on the production, it is possible to completely dispense with camera operators. Through the possibilities of the software can still be creatively intervened – the control remains with the operator.

A moving, robotic camera system, especially in a spatially limited studio application, normally brings with it a non-negligible risk in the form of possible collisions. Our system offers the best possible protection and prevention options. We divide collision detection and avoidance into two instances. The first is software-based and provides a precise, live graphical simulation of the controlled systems and the environment. The software automatically avoids collisions with the environment, both during manual operation and when calculating travel. In most systems on the market, the second instance is carried out elaborately in the studio or on the robotics side by means of sensors or light barriers. In the case of our system robot KST-UR10, a collaborative robotics system, this instance is completely unnecessary, since the robot stops automatically and without risk of injury in the event of a collision.

CamBot.system offers as core a freely scalable and stackable server system, which controls the individual peripheral devices and manages the system. Both the servers among themselves and the clients, which provide the operator-side interface with control software and hardware, are connected via IP. It does not matter whether it is a local connection or a remote connection via the Internet. The system can therefore also be operated decentrally across several locations.

The CamBot.robot module includes the robotics integrated into the system. CamBot offers integration interfaces to almost every well-known manufacturer, so that all paths are open to the customer. The robotic camera system can take on any complexity, from PTZ cameras or pan-tilt-heads, to rail systems or complex robotic arms, to large video cranes, cable systems or even drones. Here, CamBot serves not only as a simple remote control of the respective controller, but calculates and controls the entire kinematics. This allows an unparalleled influence on the type of movement and cleanliness of the system. Depending on the accuracy of the system to be controlled, CamBot also offers the possibility to generate tracking data for the system for use in AR and VR systems.

With CamBot.light, even complex lighting systems and sceneries can be integrated into our system and controlled centrally. Depending on the system, light settings or even the movements of individual effects and spots can thus be naturally co-controlled by the operator and fully linked to the rest of the overall system.
