Shotoku’s TR-XT studio robotics control system has been updated to meet the challenges of 24/7 live production while preparing for emerging technology advances.
The latest version builds on the resilience of previous systems, eliminating single failure points and preserving all its redundancy, but now offers more functionality and a substantial UI refresh. It runs under Windows 11 with a fully distributed front-end/back-end architecture and support for virtualised remote databases. The system also remains fully compatible with existing Shotoku robotics systems, including earlier Linux-based TR-XT installations.
Upgraded features include Orbit, which immediately translates the X-axis into a perfect arc around an orbital centre point; LiveView, making it possible to see and acquire shots outside the normal field of view; StudioView, which provides shot-planning capability with more powerful multi-camera tools; and a fully updated AutoFrame shot framing system.
To keep the system as autonomous as possible, AutoFrame provides real-time face tracking and shot recall, but also allows for instantaneous human intervention, eliminating the need for dedicated operators. The capacity for multiple channels to be simultaneously tracked has risen to 10, as well as intelligently defining and maintaining the desired framing, including live zoom adjustments.
