RB12SRail Ceiling Track Robotic Elevating System

The SEEDER RB12SRail ceiling track 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. Absolute encoders, ready at startup, no calibration required — ideal for studios and 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: 12kg (head ), which is suitable for mainstream brand cameras and can be attached with small teleprompter.

3. Multi functional robot chassis is used to facilitate movement. The overall weight is about 80kg.

4. Input: 220V AC, ≤700W

5. Noise Volume: <40dB

6. Each track section is 2m long and 360mm wide, with an adjustable height of 20mm.

7. Equipped with standard travel indicator lights to show direction, lateral anti-derailment wheels, end stop buffers, end limit sensors, and obstacle avoidance LiDAR for enhanced safety features.

 

Movement Specifications

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

Head Tilt: ±360°, 0-60°/s, 0.001° precision

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

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

3. Auto-tracking of subjects during crane movement; AI-controlled pan-tilt head maintains precise framing.

4. The system has physical limit and software limit functions. It can automatically detect obstacles within the safe distance range through the optical collision avoidance detection system, automatically determine warnings and stop motion.

5. Absolute value encoders record motion positions and tracking data with a tracking accuracy of <0.000043° (8,300,000/360°). There is no accumulated error in the tracking data even after multiple power on/off cycles. Tracking data can set the track length, pan/tilt calibration data, and reverse tracking data feature. The transition VR/AR system application and one-time calibration.

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

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

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

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

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

11. When the elevator and pan/tilt head are moving simultaneously for shooting, Canon and Fujinon full servo lenses can achieve automatic focus tracking with AI.

12. Modular design, tool-free assembly and installation, installs in fifteen minutes.

13. The head is equipped with an electronic level system, and the chassis contains an independent control unit that can operate without a control panel.

14. 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.
