By: Shotoku Broadcast Systems The powerful SmartTrack system combines strength and finesse to support the rapid camera moves demanded, as well as ultra-slow, smooth on-air crawls. The range of on-air tracking shots provide unique camera motion adding interest and variation, without distracting from the serious nature of the news content and the overall production values. “The NRK installation is a perfect illustration of SmartTrack’s capabilities,” Video4 provided full support throughout the integration including provision of custom mounting systems for the various payload configurations. Eivind Osnes, key account manager at Video4 said “We’ve worked with Shotoku for several years and have the local expertise needed to integrate and support systems not only in Oslo and Bergen, but throughout NRK’s regional centres. We were delighted to be able to work closely with NRK and make sure the systems met, or exceeded, all their expectations for the deployment.” In Studio 5, Shotoku installed four SmartTrack dolly systems, TG-18 PT heads and height elevation running on three separate tracks. One track carries the two main cameras in a tight arc around the main set. A second track follows a slightly larger arc, and also straightens out to enable the camera to be used in an adjoining weather or journalist presentation area. Finally a third, straight track provides the director with a wider angle tracking move across the lengthy back wall of the studio creating incredible opening and closing shots of the studio, as well as presenter shots when required. The smaller Studio 7 was equipped with a single SmartTrack system along with three fixed-pedestal Shotoku TG-27 robotic pan & tilt systems, providing a simpler studio configuration yet one still able to efficiently produce powerful and engaging news programmes. All studios use Shotoku’s TR-XT touchscreen- In addition to the SmartTrack systems in the Oslo facility, Shotoku installed a nationwide camera system to provide the 11 regional studios with lightweight robotic PT&H systems. TG-27 PT heads with Ti-11 elevator pedestals were installed at each location for reliable and cost-effective 24/7 operation capable of being controlled by either the local TR-HP Hot-Panel, Viz Mosart automation system, or the TR-XT systems at the Oslo HQ.
