Mini Probe for HD |
|
|
|
|
|
Featuring
a 19" (48.3cm) long lens
barrel with a diameter of just
1.4" (36mm), the HD Mini
Probe is designed with a 72mm
rear thread to guarantee compatibility
with most popular DV camcorders.
High resolution glass elements
and relay optics have been computer
designed to produce images with
remarkable edge-to-edge sharpness,
flat field, and extreme depth
of field. State-of-the-art multiple
coatings provide sharp, low dispersion
images. |
The
Innovision HD Mini Probe is completely
waterproof to a depth of 17"
(43.2cm). The system is ideal
for commercials, music videos,
product/nature photography and
feature projects. |

cinematography. The Cine SpeedCam
can capture up to 1,000 fps at
full resolution or 10,000 fps
at lower resolutions.
Excellent for capturing slow-motion
widescreen images, the Cine SpeedCam
is a premiere tool for shooting
close-up action sequences.

Shuttle Systems |
|
| |
The
Innovision Shuttle Camera Tracking
System (Shuttle System) is a shuttle
platform that transports a remote-operated
camera along a track mounted to the
ceiling or wall. The Shuttle System
is capable of six axes of movement,
including pan, tilt, focus, zoom,
shuttle, and vertical movement. The
Shuttle System creates shots from
any location along the track. It also
allows the camera to fly over a studio
or multiple rooms. Designed with
|
|
|
programmable
positions, the Shuttle includes all
axes and camera functions. Operators
need only hit the correct button to
send the camera along the track to create
the desired shot. The Shuttle System
can travel along a straight or custom
curved track at variable speeds and
hit programmed coordinates with pinpoint
precision. In some locations, the Shuttle
System operates 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, 365 days a year. |
Who uses the Innovision Shuttle Camera
Tracking System?
Over the past nine years, Innovision
Optics has been on the leading edge
of the development of shuttle systems
and has installed systems for a number
of high-profile networks.
|
|
In
1998 Innovision installed the Shuttle
System for E! Entertainment’s Howard
Stern Show. At 60 feet, this particular
system combines a Vinten pan and tilt
head with Innovision standard shuttle
trading platform.
In 1999, Innovision traveled to Sao
Paolo, Brazil to install the Shuttle
System into TV Globo’s brand new broadcast
facility. TV Globo, Brazil’s biggest
television network and the fourth largest
commercial network in the world, broadcasts
the national news. Six years later,
the 120-foot track Shuttle System continues
to operate. |
The
following year, Innovision installed
the Shuttle System into CNN’s Headline
News Studio in Atlanta, Georgia. The
Shuttle System enabled CNN to open
their half hour news report with a
panning view of the bustling CNN newsroom.
The CNN shuttle travels at a speed
of up to 1.5 meters per second along
a 102-foot curved monorail track that
spans three separate studios. CNN’s
system features two separate control
panels located in different studios.
Each control panel includes pre-programmed
functions and a position indicator
that shows the shuttle’s location
on an LED display.
|
|
According to CNN’s Robotics
supervisor Steve Hozapfel, the system
allowed us to preprogram 3 or 4 different
moves, including movement along the
track as well as panning (up to 350-degrees)
and zooming. We never had to reset the
shot because it was stored in the memory.
After programming it once, we just hit
the button? When asked about Innovision’s
service support Steve Holzapfel was
unable to comment because 5 years after
installation the system has never needed
service.
Ola Khristoffersen, CNN’s Audio/Robotics
Operator states, the Shuttle allows
greate rvariety and gives me more creativity.
And because of the curved track we have
greater options and capabilities?

In 2004, Innovision worked with Nippon
Television Network (NTV), one of the
leading broadcasting networks in Japan
and the world, to install the Shuttle
System into NTV’s brand new broadcasting
center in Tokyo. The system at NTV can
travel up to 2 meters per second and,
like CNN’s system, includes two separate
video control rooms that enable operators
to switch off between each other. Unlike
other shuttle systems, the NTV shuttle
comes with all five axes pre-programmed
to repeat on-air broadcast camera movements
with marked precision. Shaped like a
horseshoe in profile and spanning 240-
feet, the NTV shuttle track is the longest
that Innovision has built to date. |

Z-Shuttles |
|
| |
The
Z Shuttle is Innovision’s most ambitious
camera tracking system to date. The
Z Shuttle is a camera tracking system
consisting of a ceiling mounted shuttle
that transports a camera along a track.
Like its predecessor, the Super Shuttle,
the Z Shuttle camera flies over a
studio or multiple rooms. However,
this camera tracking system takes
the technology one giant step further
with the additional feature of a vertical
arm that can drop the camera down
to eye level of its subject.
Unlike the Super Shuttle, the Z Shuttle
can roam throughout a studio on a
track mounted on the ceiling while
simultaneously traveling vertically
up and down it’s Z-axis (hence the
name the |
|
|
Shuttle), all while the camera remains
in motion. Unlike camera systems that
have only five axes of movement, the
Z shuttle’s vertical arm makes it capable
of an unprecedented six axes of movement.
Other axes of movement include pan,
tilt, focus, and zoom, for the camera,
and forward and backward along the track.
The Z shuttle can travel at variable
speeds of up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) per
second and can be programmed to hit
up to eight positions in sequence with
pinpoint precision. The speed of the
pan and tilt function is 90 degrees
per second and the speed of the z-axis
arm is 50 centimeters (1.6 feet) per
second. Made out of a lightweight aluminum
material, the Z Shuttle carries a high
resolution Sony camera mounted to it.
|
Operated
via a remote small remote control
panel, the Z Shuttle comes with a
touch screen control panel and a foot
pedal to control the travel of the
shuttle. The touch screen panel controls
the pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings
of the camera, and is also used to
program positions and sequenced moves.
|

Innovision has recently installed the
Z Shuttle into the newly constructed
TVN 24 broadcast facility. TVN 24, Poland’s
main news provider, has just recently
completed construction of this state-of-the-art
broadcast facility that features leading-edge
production technology and news gathering
systems that have yet to be used in
any other TV news network in the world.
The Z shuttle track at TVN 24 currently
spans 131 feet long. |
