Sony OCELLUS Camera Tracking System

A camera tracking system designed to adapt to a wide range of applications, environments and cameras. Robust and reliable, with incredibly stable tracking.

Designed for versatility, our first camera tracking system is easily set up and adapted to almost any shooting situation. A multi-eye image sensor unit works with a processing box and lens encoder to integrate tracking data with camera and lens metadata, streamlining virtual production, AR, on-set preview, and post-production workflows.

Every element has been designed to work with a range of cameras, lenses and rigs, delivering highly accurate camera tracking—even when outdoors or working around obstacles.

Includes:

(1) Sensor Unit

Our compact, lightweight Sensor Unit can be mounted in any position or orientation, thanks to the multi-eye image sensor. Adjust the position without using tools and attach with NATO rail (included). Synchronization across multi-camera productions is simple too, thanks to the gathering of camera metadata.

• Dimensions*: approx. W 86 mm × H 60 mm × D 43 mm
• Weight*: approx. 250 g

* Final specifications may differ.

(2) Processing Box

With a single SDI cable, metadata and sync information can be acquired from the camera*. Screw holes on the front and rear surfaces allow for flexible mounting, while an OLED display makes it easy to check the status of camera tracking, lens data, and other information. The Processing Box is equipped with Genlock input, Timecode input, SDI input/output connectors, and Lens encoder connector.

* When using a Sony camera that can retrieve lens information.

(3) Lens Encoder

Metadata can also be taken directly from the lens itself, in case the camera’s SDI output is not available, thanks to a Lens Encoder. A rotary mechanism detects the rotation angles of the zoom, focus, and iris rings, while the Lens Encoder passes this data to the Processing Box via LEMO 7-pin cable.

Perfectly suited to working with LED displays and green screens, marker-free tracking removes the need to set up tracking cameras or IR markers, removing reflections and limiting corrections in post.
