PTA-2 Robotic Arm
Robotic Broadcast Camera Platform
The PTA-2 is a robotic camera platform specifically designed for supporting heavier broadcast cameras and lenses in studio applications. The PTA-2 carries up to 25kg when used with an optional sidearm and 15kg as standard, giving customers more flexibility when deploying autonomous camera solutions.
Key Features:
- [Remote Operation]: Ideal for live production and studio operation.
- [Easy Control]: User-friendly interface.
- [Modular System]: Quick-to-use modular design.
- [Payload Capacity]: Supports up to 25kg payload.
- [Removable Camera Sled]: For easy installation.
Studio Production
The PTA-2 delivers smooth motion with quiet operation, ideal for all studio applications. When used with MRMC or similar prompters, the PTA-2 can become the prime camera mover. It can also be used on MRMC robotic columns or rails, helping users find the best shot or automate the production process. MRMC Polymotion Chat can be integrated for full automation with natural motion.
Remote Production
The PTA-2 enables cameras to be positioned in otherwise inaccessible places, with appropriate protection from the elements. Broadcasters can operate cameras remotely, perhaps from a truck or remote studio. The mass nodal configuration is compact on any rig and may be inverted.
