3Ality Technica Introduces Stand-Alone 6-Axis Lens Control System
Built for 3D from the ground up!
Introducing our 6-Axis Lens Control System, which offers a lower cost alternative to our owner/operator customers. Along with the 6-Axis Controller Box is a 3-axis Element Technica developed remote hand unit called THC-L (Technica Hand Control – Lens), based on the same platform as the THC-S (Technica Hand Control – Stereo). The primary difference between the two is an optional spring-loaded rate sensor designed for smooth in-shot zooming, or the standard positional sensor. With our SIP2100, (and now Mistika Live and StereoLabs Pure) connectivity and bi-directional communication, techs have the choice to either use one of these analyzers to automatically create a profile, or they can quickly do it the old-fashioned way with a chart. Access to the 6-Axis LCS subsystems is possible through our PC application (Metadata Viewer,) or through our new iOS App (Rig Manager).
The THC-L is designed as a stand-alone product which not only can be used for all of the legacy Element Technica and 3Ality Digital rigs currently being used, but the same system can be used with any 3D rig requiring lens control regardless of the manufacturer.
