SEEDER RB06VH4 upright robotic pan and tilt head system adopts an L-shaped robotic pan/tilt head for automated shooting. It is an automated auxiliary shooting system for broadcast-grade film & television pre-production, suited for real-scene and virtual production (AR, VR, XR, MR) in studios and live event venues.
It delivers anti-shake performance during rapid start-stop movements to ensure broadcast-ready footage. Operating noise is less than 20 dB, satisfying acoustic requirements of professional studios.
The head provides effective telephoto image stabilization for long-lens shots. Driven by AI algorithms, it automatically generates motion trajectories with up to 16 motion nodes based on motion time and distance, enabling smooth multi-point curvilinear movement for complex motion path shots.
Using black burst synchronization, the system outputs 23-bit FREE-D tracking data, equivalent to over 8,300,000 counts per 360°. Tracking data can be transmitted via RS422 serial port or directed UDP over IP, with customizable UDP ports. It is compatible with virtual mixed-reality platforms including Vizrt, ZD, Pixotope and UE5.
Modular construction enables simple assembly and disassembly; typical installation takes around 15 minutes. The unit runs on 90–264 V AC power with a maximum power consumption of 50 W for flexible power sourcing. Absolute encoders record motion positions and tracking data. The system is operational within 10 seconds after power-on without initialization calibration, ideal for live broadcasts in studios and large events. With standard TCP/IP communication protocol, it accepts control from third-party devices for automated operation. Supported studio automation systems include SEEDER SeeArt, Vizrt MOSART, ROSS Overdrive and GrassValley IGNITE.
The dedicated control software enables network control of pan/tilt movement of the robotic head, as well as camera zoom, focus and iris. The control system can manage up to 8 robotic camera units. It stores 32 programmes, with 16 sequences per programme and 16 scenes per sequence, totalling 8,192 editable scenes. Sequences support long curve motion and forward/reverse playback. Scene files support import and export, and independent UI interfaces are assigned for scenes of different programmes for quick recall. Users can customise the zero reference point and set travel limits for all axes to guarantee operational safety. The system comes with built-in and external control sets for fast switching, and an emergency stop button as standard.
