TV4 is using the pedestals in combination with several manned camera positions in the 600 sqm (6,500 sq ft) studio, which is primarily used for news and sports programmes.
TV4, which broadcasts in Denmark, Finland and Sweden, has installed a pair of OmniGlide Robotic Roving Platform camera pedestals and three RCCP-2A Robotic Camera Control Panels (with Studio software) from Telemetrics in one of its main production studios in Stockholm.
The broadcaster has been using robotic camera pedestals since 1996, but decided to upgrade for a second time last year.
The RCCP-2A control panel can be used to control both rovers and other robotic systems simultaneously, The panel with studio software also includes Telemetric’s AI-assisted reFrame Talent Tracking and shot correction technology.
The fully loaded OmniGlide systems also include three Telemetrics Televator robotic elevating pedestals and PT-HP-S5 robotic pan/tilt camera heads.
“We decided to go with Telemetrics, since they seem to currently be ahead in the development of roving camera pedestals,” said Richard L Olsson, TOM/technical coordinator at TV4 Stockholm.
“The new Telemetrics equipment will (hopefully) save lots of money, in the long term,” he added, “and give us more freedom to produce some exciting programs for our viewers.”
