Introducing
AxisCtrl

Make your presentation smooth and seamless with a state-of-the-art robotic control system.
AxisCtrl controls all your studio robotics, from PTZ camera control. to advanced robotics systems, all using AI-vision.

AxisCtrl and Artificial Intelligence

Using Artificial Intelligence (AI), the AxisCtrl gives you personalized frames, face tracking, pose estimation, and other advanced shot properties such as path planning with keyframes.

With the Keyframe control, you can add several K-frames with parameters such as time and speed and enable and disable axes for a smooth path through the K-frames to the shot's final position.

Personalized frames

Personalized frames, or P-frames, are person-dependent frames that use facial recognition.

The P-frame reduces the number of templates an automation system requires, allowing you to have one shot for multiple talents based on parameters or settings for an opening shot due to variations such as height, hair volume, or other personal preferences. The P-frame will identify who is in the frame and position accordingly.

Face tracking and pose estimation 

Free up resources and ensure accurate shots with automatic face tracking and automatically adjusted shots. If a talent is off its mark in the studio, your shot will automatically adjust based on where you have positioned the talent in the frame.

Shot Composition with Pose Estimation places a selected face in the frame depending on its pose, freeing up space for the talent to interact with other people in the studio or graphics at the long-sided composition. The face tracking and pose estimation area is indicated by sliders in the frame. The parameter sliders control parameters such as delay before adjustment, speed of adjustments, and hysteresis of positioning.

Joystick panel

Specially designed Joystick Panel

AxisCtrl comes with a specially designed Joystick Panel for ergonomic and smooth manual control of cameras.

  • It is nicely combined with a keyboard to save desk space. 
  • Allows control of all robotics axes, including the activation and deactivation of face-tracking and pose-estimation

Control any PTZ camera

Take your PTZ camera control to the next level by introducing AI-controlled image framing, pose positioning, and automatic camera shots with the AxisCtrl PTZ. 

The AxisCtrl PTZ perfectly fits modern live broadcasts with PTZ studio cameras. It adds a new level of control to your studio PTZ camera operation and ensures an efficient and smooth live broadcast.

It is vendor-agnostic and can automate and control your camera operation with any PTZ camera from Panasonic, Canon, NewTek, Sony, or others. 

Learn more about enhancing your studio camera operations by introducing Artificial intelligence (AI) to your PTZ camera control below. 

Software-based PTZ control with AI

With the AxisCtrl PTZ, you equip your operators with a super easy solution that frees up resources in your control room.

  • Introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically identify who is in the shot and adjust the camera frame and position.
  • Automatically recognize your talents and adjust your PTZ cameras to personalized frames for an optimal camera position.
  • Save time with one shot only for multiple talents with AI-controlled face recognition. 
  • Integrate with studio automation systems, such as Viz Mosart.
  • Reduce the number of templates required by your automation system. Read about Personalized frames (P-frames) below

Facial recognition and Keyframe control

Personalized frames (P-frames) help reduce the templates needed in your automation system. 

With one shot for multiple talents, you make sure your opening camera shot is automatically adjusted for variations such as:

  • Height /positioning of the talent
  • The talent hair volume 
  • Other personal preferences

The P-frame will identify who is in the frame and position your cameras accordingly. 

Advanced shot properties, such as path planning, are programmed with keyframes. With Keyframe control, you can add parameters such as time and speed and enable and disable axes, for a smooth path and the shot's final position.

Automate your operations with face tracking and pose estimation

By automating your live broadcast with face tracking, your shots will automatically adjust by tracking the face. If a talent is off its mark in the studio, the shot will automatically adjust based on where you have positioned the talent in the frame. 

How this works: 

  • Sliders indicate the area for face tracking and pose estimation in the frame. The parameter sliders control parameters such as delay before adjustment, speed of adjustments, and hysteresis of positioning.

  • Shot Composition with Pose Estimation places a selected face in the frame depending on its pose, freeing up space for the talent to interact with other people in the studio or graphics at the long-sided composition.
Your operators can activate face tracking live on each camera from the AxisCtrl user interface and our Joystick Panel.
