VISUS capture magic moments with focus pulling out of the box
Achieving a cinematic expression image with shallow depth of field typically requires manual focus adjustments, often needing a focus assistant or limiting the operator to focus only when the camera is off-air. If the subject is moving, focussing become even more difficult.
The alternative is to increase the depth of field. However, the cinematic look is lost in that way...
What if an autofocus could seamlessly track moving subjects in real-time, especially during live broadcasts, sports, concerts or show events, enhancing workflow efficiency and reducing costs while elevating image quality?
With VISUS, this vision becomes reality.
VISUS enables Cinematic Expression Images with
- Precision Auto Focus
- Focus at the push of a button
- Next Generation Subject Tracking
- Control movements of remote cameras
The toolbox that enhances your creative work.
Precision Auto Focus
VISUS provides reliable and precise focus control, enhancing the quality and efficiency of film, broadcast or event production.
The system operates independently of the camera, tracking subjects in and out of the camera‘s field of view and also when camera image is blurred.
VISUS offers various interfaces for different focus motors and allows switching between automated and manual focus control.
Focus at the push of a button
With the simple push of a button operators can shift focus between tracked subjects, allowing them to follow the action very intuitively.
Thereby VISUS enables smooth focus shifts between multiple subjects during live shots. By calculating the distance to each subject, the system allows focus adjustments that closely resemble human control, creating natural, cinematic focus pulls.
Next generation subject tracking
VISUS is capable of various algorithms for tracking subjects:
- Eye tracking
- Object tracking
- Catch the closest subject
- Tracking with a fingertip on the touchscreen
- Tracking of a small radio rangefinder, the TAG
Control movement of remote cameras
VISUS uses a unique 3D sensor to identify and track subjects. The collected data includes position, direction of movement and speed. This information can be used for automatic control of remote camera platforms such as remote pan/tilt heads, sliders, dollys and many more.
