INTEGRATed INTO BROADCAST
In parallel to any number of human-operated cameras, the signal from one or several Navicam™ controlled cameras would be fed to the outside-broadcast unit that the rights-holder has retained to produce the programmes destined for broadcast. The director selects the feed from any camera, including the the Navicam™ camera, as per the programme requires.
robotically controlled
CAMERA MOTION
Control of pan and tilt, zoom and focus are provided through the appropriate choice of pan and tilt robot, in some cases gyro-stabilised, with a very powerful lens.

positioning technologies provide the
TRACKING FUNCTION
Tracking function is provided by real-time sensor-fusion, combining a number of positioning technologies applicable to the type of targets to be tracked: GPS, inertial sensors, speed sensors, mapping, image recognition, RFID, radar. For targets subject to high G forces, the target needs to carry a Navicam™ positioning device communicating with the Navicam™ control computer. Solidity of the data is improved with compensation for data-lag, mapping of historical trajectory data, smoothing and predictive software.
Navicam provides
SOFTWARE CONTROL
Navicam™ consists of software to operate television cameras robotically. This is particularly useful when filming sports involving fast and complex dynamics, such as motor-racing, motorbike racing, skiing and a number of arena sports. Navicam™ controlled cameras can track the action with a degree of precision and reliability beyond the capabilities of human operators.
the operator of a
NAVICAM CAMERA
• Does not need to manually manoeuver the camera
• Is most conveniently located remotely from the camera position
• Uses 'fly-by-wire' technology to control one or several cameras
• Is assisted by AI software NAD
