Orad & Kronomav Turn Corner On
Virtual Studios
O

rad and Kronomav have added
the Kronomav K2 robotised
curved dolly to the list of Orad Virtual
Studio and Augmented Reality, and
Kronomav robotic system integrations.
With support for curved tracking,
broadcasters have the ability to
move within the studio on a straight
and curved rail, opening up endless
possibilities for creating rich virtual
studio productions and immersive
graphics for real studios.
A long-time Orad technology partner,
Kronomav designed a new protocol
that provides Orad tracking systems
with the required real-time tracking
position and orientation of the K2
robotised dolly.
The new protocol features an easyto-use wizard that allows users to
move the dolly in different predefined
locations on the rail.
The system's absolute encoders are
integrated in the K2 dolly, ensuring all
relevant tracking data is sent to the

Orad tracking system.
Orad's Tracking Set application
receives the tracking data and
transmits it to its HDVG rendering
platform, allowing the graphics to be
positioned anywhere in the studio,
while the camera moves along the
rails.
"Our joint customers have been
asking for curved tracking support
and they will be incredibly pleased
with the high-quality integration Orad
and Kronomav offer," comments Avi
Sharir, CEO and president of Orad.
"Orad has built its reputation on
exceeding customer expectations,
and the level of integration and
performance offered with the OradKronomav joint effort is right in line
with this philosophy."
Antonio Carrión, 3D R&D at
Kronomav,
commented:
"The
integration with Orad and all
Kronomav's K2 accessories and curve
track combinations delivers the same

level of exceptional accuracy that
our respective customers have come
to expect from our collaborative
solutions.
The advanced integration provides
best-in-class
curved
tracking
capabilities
for
broadcasters
employing just about any tracking
workflow scenario."
