RB30Rail Rail Robotic Elevating System

The SEEDER RB30Rail rail robotic elevating system is developed for automatic shooting of AR, VR, XR, MR or real scene in various broadcast studios, remote photography, government, education, event live and so on. Features such as anti shake technology, noise reduction technology and AI curvilinear motion technology ensure the shooting of complex motion video and meet every need of professional broadcast television studios.
Fully integrated, highly accurate, smooth motion control in all axes. Precision engineered lifting system makes it possible to raise cameras to the heights while retaining stability and smoothness of on-air control.
Tracks design can be straight or curved, and they are available in various sizes and can be customized to achieve the required min/max length. The stainless-steel materials ensure durability and cost-effective.
Modular design, tool-free assembly and disassembly, 10-minute setup. The system uses absolute encoders for position tracking — no calibration required — making it ideal for both studios and large-scale live events.
The system includes two sets of control systems, namely built-in and external, which can be quickly switched for use. It comes with an emergency operation button as standard. Seamlessly integrates with studio control systems like SEEDER SEEART, Vizrt MOSART, ROSS Overdrive, and GrassValley, supports graphic systems such as Vizrt, ZD, Brainstorm, UE5, and more.

Technical Instruction

1. Three-section hexagonal lifting column, straight or curved track sections. The dolly can move up/down, left/right, forwards/backwards, and the robotic head can move in pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris, that is, a total of 8 axis motion. It can precisely position motion trajectories and adjust motion speeds, as well as arbitrarily record positions. There will be no accumulated errors after repeated camera movements.

2. Maximum payload (head) is 30kg, supports mainstream cameras and small teleprompters.

3. Multi-function chassis, easy to move; total weight ~80kg.

4. Input: 220V AC, ≤700W

5. Noise Volume: <40dB

6. Track length 2m, width 360mm, height adjustable 20mm.

7. Safety features: travel indicator lights, lateral anti-derailment wheels, end stop buffers, end limit sensors, obstacle avoidance LiDAR.

 

Movement Specifications

Head Pan: ±720°, 0-60°/s, 0.001° precision

Head Tilt: ±60°, 0-60°/s, 0.001° precision

Head Lifting: 1100-1940mm, 0-300mm/s, 0.001mm precision

Zoom/Focus: 0-52mm/s, 0.001mm precision

The robot movement adapts to the track length. Travel speed: 0–2000mm/s, minimum turning radius: 2.5m

1. Professional start-stop anti-shake technology ensures stable and usable footage during rapid starts and stops. Maximum operating speed: 2 m/s, no noticeable shake at speeds below 1 m/s.

2. Automatically calculates motion curves, acceleration/deceleration, and timing from the start position and duration, supporting smooth 16-node curvilinear motion.

3. Absolute value encoders record motion positions and tracking data with a tracking accuracy of <0.000043° (8,300,000/360°), and one-time calibration. There is no accumulated error in the tracking data even after multiple power on/off cycles.

4. Support Canon and Fujinon full servo lenses, control zoom, focus and iris functions, and retrieve the lens built-in tracking data. Automatic lens delay.

5. Simultaneously outputs high-precision FREE-D tracking data via RS422 and network-directed UDP for seamless integration with AR, VR, XR, MR devices.

6. Virtual compensation calibration function utilizes robotic motors to compensate for tracking data motion based on virtual error values.

7. BB external sync / SDI internal sync with loop-through.

8. Standard TCP/IP protocol enables third-party automation control.

9. The base contains an independent control unit that can operate without a control panel.

10. Optical collision avoidance technology is adopted. The collision avoidance distance can be set according to user needs. When the collision avoidance system is triggered, the equipment can complete braking within 20mm.

11. Program storage: 32 programs × 16 sequences × 16 scenes = 8192 scenes, with scene file import/export/backup.

1. Professional-grade crane operation, no manual handling.

2. Standardizes open/close shots for news and feature programs.

3. Delivers highly accurate image synchronization for AR/VR productions.

4. Provides professional tracking data for large-scale real-virtual productions.

5. Supports OB van and large studio automated camera positions.

6. Delivers effective telephoto stabilization for UHD shooting.

7. Reduces operator error during critical live events.

8. Enables smooth remote operation over IP networks.
