The upgraded interface incorporates powerful new features that add a layer of intuitiveness and functionality for Shotoku's flagship TR-XT robotic camera control system. The Company's exhibition plans also coincide with the one-year anniversary of Shotoku USA, a company founded to support Shotoku's significant and growing customer-base in North America. "NAB 2018 will be especially exciting as we mark the one-year anniversary of Shotoku USA," said James Eddershaw, managing director. "North America has always been a key market for our Robotics systems and we're happy to announce that Robotics will be the major focus of the booth this year. In addition to demonstrating the enhanced capabilities of the ECI Automation Interface, we'll be highlighting the incredibly popular SmartPed robotic pedestal, the SmartTrack rail system, and of course our control panels." Shotoku USA's Robotic Support Specialist, Matt Servis, will be on hand to demonstrate the full range of products and discuss any aspect of the system, from initial design and specification through installation, commissioning and US-based after sales service. New External Control Interface (ECI) Automation Interface for TR-XT Shotoku's enhanced version of its ECI for the Company's flagship TR-XT robotic camera control system elevates flexibility while adding a layer of control. Building on the TR-XT's advanced features, including pre-set shot recall functionality, the unit now supports full joystick trim control to adjust and restore the pre-sets as necessary, from the automation system or switcher itself. This additional external control also allows shots to be trimmed on-air without the need for a dedicated camera operator via the automation system. The enhanced ECI provides an interface for Facility Management and Control Systems (FMCS) enabling a TR-XT to be reconfigured remotely as well.
