Mo-Sys has launched its Mo-Sys camera tracking kit, designed to interface with the Unreal Engine or broadcast render engine to allow for production companies to add virtual crowds to sports games played behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The tracking kit’s camera tracking encoders are mounted onto broadcast standard Vinten Vector heads without impact on a camera’s balance with no backflash when panning and tilting.
Zoom data can be collected by either gear encoders or by a serial data link to digital lenses, with the combined tracking data able to be sent over Ethernet to a workstation hosting the AR software.
Compensation for lens distortion is also available for use with a variety of lenses including a fully zoomed 100:1.
