Overview
EZtrack is an innovative camera tracking system implementing an embedded hardware and software system for real-time experiences. After attaching it to your camera and a quick setup phase, it delivers accurate 3D tracking, image sync, zoom & focus data, communication with live render engines and multi axes tracking.
The system is based on the Lighthouse technology from Valve Corporation for precise 3D localization, and custom-made electronics embedded in a Core System Unit providing both Genlock and lens data (zoom/focus) from the broadcast lenses.
The system interface is accessible from any computer or tablet connected to the studio’s network, using a web application.
