Three Main Cosmos S6 Components - Plus Optional Extras
-
The Robotic Computer-Controlled Pan/Tilt/Zoom Cameras
Cosmos S6 includes 2-6 robotic (computer-controllable pan/tilt/zoom) cameras and you can choose from two main types: either single-chip (e.g. Sony EVI-D80 or D90) or 3-chip (Sony BRC-300, right) depending on your needs and budget. These popular Sony robotic cameras have excellent video quality and performance. Panning and tilting through wide angles of motion, superb optical zoom (18x for EVI-D80, 28x for D90, 12x for BRC-300), and dual video output of Y/C and composite (composite-only on BRC-300, optional SDI and component output boards available). They also support both RS232 and RS422 (long distance over 1000 meters) control signals. In addition the cameras can be mounted either 'up' or 'hanging upside down' for your convenience.

The Cosmos Software
Tying together the whole package is the software heart of the Cosmos system: the Cosmos software package (for Windows PCs). Cosmos software gives you detailed direct camera positioning (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and more), preset-positions, and video settings (white balance, backlight, brightness) for the robotic cameras. And the Cosmos software also communicates with the switcher to allow direct operation of the 'wipe' (pull the T-bar) and 'preset camera' selection functions from the camera control GUI. With this powerful package of software you can control all your cameras individually, set up your shots, and switch video sources.
Cosmos is an invaluable integration of camera-control with switcher operations for use with live production setups like small studios, churches, meeting rooms, and more. Now Cosmos robotic cameras can become integrated with your switcher into a studio-like operating environment in a single package that can be run by one person PC (even a laptop or tiny netbook) console. And it's extremely easy to install and use - you can get going in a few minutes.
Cosmos Software Details:
- One operator controls your cameras *and* your switcher.
- Control robotic cameras' pan/tilt/zoom and white balance, backlight, and more - no 'on screen' menus.
- Cosmos communicates and interacts with your switcher:
- When you select a camera on Cosmos, that cam is selected on the Preview (SUB) row of your switcher
- When you manually select a camera on the switcher's Preview (SUB) row, that camera is activated for interactive control in the Cosmos software GUI
- Cosmos also has controls to activate the 'TAKE' and 'AUTO' functions of your switcher so you can position a cam and then switch it to main output directly from the Cosmos software
- Control positioning of your cameras 5 ways:
- mouse click/drag to position camera interactively
- buttons for small-increment up/down/left/right motions
- click-and-hold buttons for slow smooth continuous pan/tilt motions
- at least 6 presets of pan/tilt/zoom and all camera settings, some cams support 4 additional presets of pan/tilt/focus/zoom
- all operations (pan, tilt, etc.) can be handled by an optional Contour ShuttlePro control surface (plugs into a USB port)
- Additional controls are provided for:
- White Balance, Backlight, and Brightness, Iris, Gain, and many more 'optical' adjustments
- Focus - in/out/auto/manual : Zoom - in/out/maximum/minimum
- 9 user-configurable buttons for 'macros' (simple or complex text-script sequences of camera and switcher operations)
- One-button 'AutoTour' feature for touring the presets with user-selectable 'dwell time'
- Most commands are supported on the GUI and through your keyboard
- Optional support for full control remotely over TCP/IP network (LAN and Internet) for complete 'remote studio operation'

ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDE THE SWITCHER AND CAMERAS AND COSMOS CONTROL SOFTWARE WITH CAMERA-CONTROL CONNECTION KITS
Configuration choices include Sony's EVI-D80, EVI-D90, and BRC-300 (3-chip) cameras. We can configure for up to seven cameras and each configuration comes with software specifically designed for each model of camera.
Do you already own cameras and/or a switcher? We can configure the Cosmos package for your unique combination of pre-existing equipment. Just CALL.
Additional Product Information Notes
- Cosmos systems require 1 available COM port (for camera control) and a 2nd COM port if you wish to also have the software control the switcher. Cosmos software runs on a Windows PC (PC not included) for simultaneous control of both the cameras and the switcher (you can turn the switcher control feature on or off). If you elect to control the switcher manually, the Cosmos software will work with only one COM port.
- Cosmos systems are fully compatible with all the built-in capabilities of the switchers
- All components are original factory packages with full manufacturer warranty.
- Cosmos software upgrades free for 1 year.
- Video and control cables are not included. They are easy to obtain locally in the lengths you require for your installation. We provide the control-wiring diagram for easy hookup of the control cabling which is a 'chain' linking the cams to a single PC COM port.
- Cameras can be mounted on tripods, user-built small shelves, or (in most cases) hanging from ceiling mount plates that are included. Wall-mount brackets are available but not included.
- Real telephone support after the sale is included with every system.
