Minimote 5

The Minimote is simply a remotely operated pan & tilt head but with very unique abilities.
It is designed to be easily integrated into a set or a piece of furniture as all mechanical parts are below the camera plate.

Control over Internet Protocol (COIP) allows the Minimote  to communicate over an Ethernet network and opens many new possibilities: 
A single control desk can control several machines.
Data can be transported over an existing Ethernet infrastructure (cable or optical fiber).
Easy integration into an IP based remote production setup.

All axis position (including zoom and focus) can be memorized and recalled on demand with absolute precision. The operator may recall pre-established shots or reposition the machine rapidly even when out of sight.
A touch screen user interface allows the operator to gain access to each motor parameter as well as end stops (speed, damping, ramp up and down, user setups back up etc…).
