Some Recent Customer Feedback

  • ...the best find was the software controller application package by Videobotics. ...a tool called “CamMotion Pro70” that was easy to install, intuitive to operate and powerful in its control features. Videobotics provides tested USB to RS232 convertors and some circuitry that uses standard CAT network cables to extend the distance between the computer and you from the camera. Videobotics provides personal service via phone or email ... equipment can be upgraded to multiple cameras and video switchers. (2010 - RB in Granite Bay, CA)

  • We have your software working fine with four EVI-D70 cameras and the SE500 for a year now - in West Bengal, so well done... (2010 - AC in India)

  • Grace Community Church purchased the Cosmos S5 System from Videobotics in October, 2009. Our purchase decision was based on pricing, extremely friendly and knowledgeable customer service \ technical support, but primarily for the Cosmos control software which is only available through Videobotics. As a small church with limited video resources, the software removed the complicated controlling process simplifying the entire system. A lightly trained individual can be up and running in minutes, literally. With the additional functionality of macros and user defined settings, the software is uniquely powerful allowing us to use volunteers even for complex video functions. Look no further, you will be pleased with your purchase. (2009 - Southlake, TX)

  • "The Cosmos System has provided flawless performance in helping us with an end-to-end automated broadcast system." (2009 - Bryan Halley - 214 432-5905 - now has installed over 50 Cosmos systems for government video)

  • Went to church Sunday, after the service I wired the cameras as you said & I'm so happy they all work the way you said they would...any one wants to call & talk to me my phone # is 906-297-8002... - Paul Kuiper - First Union Church - Cedarville, MI - February 24, 2008

      • 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'
