The SEEDER RB12SRail is a broadcast-grade automated auxiliary shooting system, equipped with a U-shaped robotic pan and tilt head. It supports automated camera motion for live-action, AR/VR/XR/MR virtual production in studios and live events.
The robotic pan and tilt head delivers image stabilization for fast start-stop movements, ensuring usable footage. Operating noise: ≤40 dB (≤0.7 m/s), ≤60 dB (≤1.2 m/s), meeting professional studio acoustic requirements. It achieves effective telephoto stabilization with telephoto lenses. Powered by AI, it auto-generates motion trajectories of up to 16 motion nodes, enabling smooth multi-point curvilinear movement for complex shot paths.
Compatible with full-series Canon & Fujinon B4-mount full-servo lenses; controls lens zoom, focus and iris, and retrieves lens tracking data. The system automatically compensates motor tracking latency according to different lens delays. With black burst synchronization, it outputs 23-bit FREE-D tracking data (>8,300,000 counts/360°). Tracking output: RS‑422 serial port + customizable directed UDP. Supports Vizrt, ZD, Pixotope, UE5 and other AR/VR systems.
Modular construction enables full assembly within 15 minutes. Power input: 90–264 V AC, max power 300 W. Absolute encoders record position and tracking data; ready for use after power-up without initialization or calibration, ideal for live broadcast. It supports third-party control via standard TCP/IP protocol and is compatible with SEEDER SeeArt, Vizrt MOSART, ROSS Overdrive, Grass Valley IGNITE studio automation systems.
The bundled control software enables network control of robot lift, pan/tilt, camera zoom, focus and iris. The system controls up to 8 robotic camera units: 32 programmes, 16 sequences/programme, 16 scenes/sequence, total 8192 editable scenes. Sequences support long curve motion and forward/reverse run; scene files import/export available. Users set zero position and travel limits for safety. Built-in + external dual control systems with quick switching; emergency button as standard.
