RigFX®: Lens and motion tracking aggregator for Virtual Studio operators!

RigFX® is the latest entry into our motion tracking Hubs that aggregates data from a wide range of internal gear encoders and data protocols

WHAT IS RigFX® ?

Developed as a true ‘set & forget’ device, our solution relies on a small form factor Hub unit that aggregates and merges in real-time the positional tracking data gathered from a wide range of internal gear encoders and data protocols, with FIZ lens metadata from any kind of optics.

Looking ahead to latest protocols for lens data, RigFX® is already compatible with both OpenTrackIO and CanonCV protocol.

RigFX® aggregates the tracking data from:

  • Cranes
  • Jibs
  • Dollies
  • PTZs
  • Sliders

Premium features

FIZ lens data

Native support of FIZ data from Canon, Fujinon,
Angénieux servo-encoded optics, CMotion & Preston compatible lens encoders
Loadable lens file data
Compliant with smart protocols like /i1 (Cooke and Zeiss), OpenTrackIO, and CanonCV!

Custom 3D rigs

Build your own 3D rig in using multiple sources and save each config:
- Pan/Tilt head on dolly
- PTZ on a crane
- Etc…

Set & Forget

Tracking data transmitted over network (FreeD, OpenTrackIO),
with user-friendly webapp to monitor and set-up each configuration

Network over IP

Instant boot with less than 5 seconds for the system to be up and running

No calibration needed on reboot!

Signal sync

Data is perfectly synchronized at each captured frame using Genlock and Timecode
