The SEEDER RB12VH4 vertical robotic pan & tilt head system adopts an L-type robotic pan-tilt head, enabling intelligent and automatic shooting. Designed for professional broadcast-level production, it is ideal for real-scene and virtual production (AR, VR, XR, MR) in studios or live event environments. The robotic head ensures smooth motion starts and stops without any shake, delivering high-quality footage. Operating at <20 dB, meeting the demands of professional studios.
The robotic head supports telephoto anti-shake shooting and can automatically generate motion trajectories with up to 16 motion nodes based on movement duration and distance through AI algorithms, achieving smooth multi-point curvilinear motion, ensuring complex motion video shooting. Supports B4-mount Canon and Fujinon full-servo lenses, and allows control of zoom, focus, and iris. Tracking data of zoom and focus can be retrieved via digital lens cable. The system automatically adjusts motor tracking delay based on lens brand latency. Adopts black burst synchronization, outputs 23-bit precision FREE-D tracking data (>8.3 million/360°). Tracking data can be output via three configurable UDP. Compatible with Vizrt, ZD, Brainstorm, UE5 and other virtual production systems.
Modular design, tool-free assembly and disassembly, 15-minute setup. Equipped with absolute value encoders to record position and tracking data, allowing 10-second startup without calibration, especially suitable for studio or large event live broadcast use. Supports standard TCP/IP communication protocol and can be controlled by third-party devices. Compatible with SEEDER SEEART, Vizrt MOSART, ROSS Overdrive, GrassValley IGNITE studio control systems.
The control software manages head pan/tilt, and lens zoom/focus/iris. It supports up to 8 robotic systems, with 32 programs × 16 sequences × 16 scenes (8,192 total scenes). Features include smooth curve and reverse motion, scene import/export, and dedicated UIs per program. Zero-point position and motion limits for the robotic head can be customized to ensure operational safety. The system includes both built-in and external control units for fast switching, and comes standard with an emergency stop button.
