Performance Description of the TR50 Virtual Tracking Rail System

​

The TR50 virtual tracking rail is a manual rail system that provides users with straight movement position when equipped with the CD15 or CD20 virtual tracking head.

The rail system’s locator box calculates data from the pan/tilt and rail sensors to caculate the current position and angle of the camera in real-time, and then uploads this data to the server in the on-site coordinate system.

Combined with the “Conical Cross Positioning Method,” the system’s locator can set the positioning parameters of the rail system through a few simple operations, including determining the origin of the rail and its coordinates, the zero-degree deviation angle of the pan/tilt, and the azimuth angle of the rail on-site. These parameters can be determined within 3 to 5 minutes with the rail already set up and the virtual software preliminarily configured for the AR environment.

As a tracked tracking system, the TR50 virtual tracking rail system does not require special environmental conditions or auxiliary positioning markers. The continuity and accuracy of the tracking data are not affected by the brightness and obstructions of the on-site light, and there are no special restrictions on the shooting angles. The positioning accuracy can approach or even reach the level of optical tracking systems. Therefore, the TR50 virtual tracking rail system is a cost-effective solution for virtual filming fields that require moving cameras, such as VR, AR, and especially XR (LED screens) .
