SEEDER RB12EH4 robotic elevating pan and tilt head system adopts an L-shaped robotic pan/tilt head for automated shooting. It serves as an automated auxiliary shooting system for broadcast-grade pre-production of film and television. It is applicable to real-scene shooting and virtual production including AR, VR, XR and MR in various studios and live event venues. Featuring anti-shake performance during rapid start-stop movements, the robotic pan-tilt head ensures usable footage for every shot. Operating noise of the system is less than 40 dB, meeting the requirements of professional studio environments.

The pan/tilt head delivers effective telephoto anti-shake for long-lens shooting. Powered 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 shots. It supports the full range of Canon and Fujinon full-servo lenses with B4 mount, providing control over lens zoom, focus and iris. Digital lens cables capture zoom and focus tracking data. The system automatically adjusts motor tracking delay according to the latency of tracking data from different lens brands to compensate for lens delay. Using black burst synchronization, the system outputs FREE-D tracking data with 23-bit tracking resolution, equivalent to over 8,300,000 counts per 360°. Tracking data can be output via RS422 serial port or directed UDP over network; custom UDP port is supported. It is compatible with virtual mixed-reality systems including Vizrt, ZD, Pixotope and UE5.

Built with modular design for easy assembly and disassembly, the system can be fully installed in approximately 15 minutes. It accepts 90–264 V AC power supply with maximum power consumption of 300 W for flexible power access. Absolute encoders record motion positions and tracking data. The system is ready for operation within 10 seconds after power-up with no initialization calibration required, making it ideal for live broadcasts in studios and large-scale events. Equipped with standard TCP/IP communication protocol, it can be controlled by third-party devices for automated operation. Supported studio control systems include SEEDER SeeArt, Vizrt MOSART, ROSS Overdrive and GrassValley IGNITE.

The dedicated control software enables network-based 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, store 32 programmes with 16 sequences per programme and 16 scenes per sequence, supporting a total of 8,192 editable scenes. Sequences support long curve motion and forward/reverse playback. Scene files can be imported and exported. Independent operation interfaces are available for scenes of different programmes for quick recall. Users may customise the zero position of the robotic head and set travel limits for all axes to ensure operational safety. The system includes built-in and external control sets for quick switching, and comes with an emergency stop button as standard.
