CAMERAS IN MOTION

Dynamic and Safety-Certified Camera Moving System for Versatile Applications

ARTIS offers unparalleled agility with speeds of up to 2.4m/s and ultra-precise 4-wheel steering with a turning angle of over 90°, enabling sharp turns, lateral movement, and on-the-spot rotations.

Adjustable Robotic Arm: The freely movable robotic arm adjusts the system height flexibly, from just 0.8m in concealed position to a lens height of 2.4m. A motion range of 2.8m enables versatile camera movements.

Flexible Driving Modes: ARTIS seamlessly switches between free-drive, magnetic strip, and Lidar-guided navigation, offering customizable routes.

Safety Features: Laser scanners prevent collisions, a certified emergency-stop system ensures quick response, and safety contact strips on the bumper activate the emergency stop.

Intelligent, gyro stabilized, remote dolly system with lifting column.
MagCam is able to autonomously follow a previously defined route by means of sensors, including the possible implementation of forks, alternative routes and full circles.
The route is defined by a thin magnetic tape adhered on top or underneath existing floor covering rendering it almost invisible and can be altered to changing requirements at any time.
In addition to this, it is possible to switch to free-running mode at any time to realize any conceivable recording situation and react to changing conditions in a matter of seconds.
MagCam is also equipped with emergency stop sensors and a surrounding protection frame to automatically prevent collisions and meet all applicable safety requirements for any live production environment.
System control, camera telemetry, audio and up to 4K image signals can be transmitted via an integrated radio link, enabling uncomplicated and low-interference operation of the camera system.
MagCam can be operated with a wide variety of camera and remote head setups, making it one of the most sophisticated and versatile camera motion systems in the world.

Rail-winch system / 2D-system

The RopeClimber from RTS is a unique rail-winch system that allows two-dimensional camera movements (horizontal and vertical). Due to its special design,the RopeClimber can make fantastic shots by moving through the space, dropping below obstructions like lights and then rising up again to make the most of any given space.The RopeClimber has the added advantage of working well in rooms with low ceiling height. Due to the fact that it rides along a rigid suspended track – and not ropes pulled taut – The RopeClimber maintains a maximum height across the entire move.

Tracks are available in lengths of up to 100m (328 feet). The dolly’s winch lowers the gyroscopically stabilized camera system up to 24 meters (78 feet) at any point along the track. This makes it possible to lift over obstacles and realize space-saving and inconspicuous lifting and lowering movements.

The RopeClimber is also characterized by its extremely smooth operation, and the completely wired and redundant systems work to ensure maximum safety and reliability.

Tower system with vertical stroke

The RTS CamTower is a remote-controlled, telescopic lifting column, which moves the camera at a variable speed of up to 1.3m/s in a vertical direction.

The tower is computer controlled, providing the operator soft deceleration at the top and bottom of the tower’s range, which avoids any abrupt stops.

This precision makes the system particularly quiet and smooth.

The system is available in different sizes to suit a wide variety of applications and situations.

Extremely low lifting system

The RTS LiftArm – combined with the TrackRunner ENT – is ideal for moving images directly from the edge of the stage. Whether on a straight track or curved, the LiftArm can lower the lens to just 90cm (35 inches) when using the Nettmann Mini-C gyro stabilized remote head.

Highspeed winch system / 1D-system

SpeedWinch from RTS is a completely new winch system designed for extremely fast vertical camera travel. Even at a speed of up to 7 m/s, the image remains perfectly stable and balanced because the system can be equipped with a fully-stabilized 5-axis remote head.

The extremely robust ropes ensure a great deal of safety with a load of up to 80kg (175lbs) for both remote head and camera.

A special gear unit design ensures a particularly high level of operation smoothness. The RTS SpeedWinch operates over hard-wired power and data connections for robust and solid communication/operation in even the most demanding venues where wireless often fails. Venues like sporting events and concerts often have massive wireless overloads. Our solution ensures confident and continuous operation while performing extraordinary and dynamic camera moves that even the film industry can appreciate.

According to BGV C1, SpeedWinch is approved for operation over audiences.
