Pixotope has added zoom capabilities to its through-the-lens (TTL) camera tracking software solution, Pixotope Tracking-Fly Edition (Pixotope Fly). This solution gives broadcasters and content creators access to zoom capabilities beyond the current limitations of one fixed lens position on drones and other cameras. This enables more dynamic shot composition for augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), and virtual studio (VS) workflows with greater simplicity during live broadcast events, whether they’re indoors, outdoors, or in the studio. This new feature enhances content quality and production efficiency with the ability to zoom in and out of a space without physically having to move the camera closer or farther away.
“We’re not known to back down from a challenge,” says Gideon Ferber, Senior Vice President of Product at Pixotope. “The subject of adding zoom capabilities to markerless TTL camera tracking has long been thought to be impossible, until now. With the ability to zoom, users experience the creative freedom to capture more dynamic and engaging shots while still enjoying the same streamlined setup and operation that Pixotope is known for. With the introduction of this capability, we’re opening up new creative possibilities and delivering greater operational efficiencies in the process.
