Introducing VRzero eMagnum

The VRzero eMagnum Bundle is designed to introduce virtual or augmented reality in dynamic environments where a manually operated camera is the best option. It provides stable and accurate tracking data over an IP data stream that is easily integrated with a complete Ross Virtual Solution, or third party render engine.

The system consists of an encoded Cartoni eSensor fluid head, plus Ross Video’s VRzero module mounted on the fluid head’s pan bars. The eSensor fluid head is typically mounted on a tripod (available from Ross Video). A video camera with an encoded lens (zoom and focus) is mounted on the fluid head.

The eSensor fluid head has built-in absolute pan and tilt encoders. The VRzero module receives raw encoder counts from the fluid head and the lens encoders in real time, and transmits the data over your IP network to up to four destination systems. The destinations are typically Virtual Camera Controller (VCC) applications such as Ross Video UX VCC.

The VRzero module accepts a video reference (genlock/sync) signal to ensure accurate synchronization of Virtual Studio / Augmented Reality (VS/AR) tracking data.
