New from Videobotics: Cosmos-VT!
Interactive robotic camera systems for NewTek VT[3] - from $2999.95
Cosmos-VT - A uniquely powerful interactive camera control system for your NewTek VT[3] Studio. Cosmos-VT brings the full promise of the NewTek VT[3] 'TV Studio In A Box' to fruition - with a real multi-camera control system for live production that is closely integrated with the VT[3] Switcher.
Now you can add a Windows-desktop software control system for multiple robotic video cameras to your NewTek VT[3] studio. Using popular pan/tilt/zoom cameras from Sony and Elmo, Cosmos adds a control panel GUI that lets you position, zoom, and focus your cameras while they are in 'preview', under computer control - all while you are operating NewTek's VT[3] Switcher in your live productions.
Cosmos-VT is an invaluable extension of the VT[3] system for use with live production setups like small studios, churches, meeting rooms, and more. Now Cosmos robotic cameras can become integrated into the rest of your VT[3] studio in a single package that can be run by one system operator at a single VT[3] console. Cosmos-VT software:
- Controls up to 6 robotic cameras on your VT[3] Switcher system
- Cosmos communicates and interacts with your robotic cameras *and* with the VT[3] Switcher:
- When you select a camera on Cosmos, that cam is selected on the Preview row of your VT[3] Switcher
- When you select a camera on the VT[3] Switcher's Preview row, that camera is activated for interactive control in the Cosmos interactive control panel
- Cosmos-VT also has controls to activate the 'TAKE' and 'AUTO' functions of your VT[3] Switcher
- Control pan/tilt of your cameras 4 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
- set and recall 10 presets of pan/tilt/focus/zoom
- Additional controls are provided for:
- White Balance and Backlight settings
- Brightness (available on some camera models)
- Focus - in/out/auto/manual
- Zoom - in/out/maximum/minimum
- Camera home position
- On-screen data display (available on some camera models)
- Camera video output on/off
- Scripted sequences of camera motions and operations
- All features are also remotely controllable via TCP/IP network (remote network software included).
When you select a cam to preview, the Cosmos software automatically adjusts to control the selected cam. What you see on your VTVision display of the VT[3] Switcher's Preview channel is accessible to robotic control via the Cosmos software.
Cosmos-VT systems comes with the newest version of Videobotics proven CamMotion camera control software (host and internet-remote programs all included) with full network control and displays of camera position in numerical quantities (pan and tilt angles and zoom factor). This is the same proven cam control system used by Eastman Chemical, Intel, Intersil, U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, NASA, Adobe, and many others around the world. We are also a full-line authorized reseller for NewTek and we can supply a full VT[3] system with Cosmos or Cosmos packages for your existing VT[3] studio.
The most powerful integrated interactive robotic camera systems available - at very affordable prices.
