Radius

Overview

The Core and Bridge combine to create a complete Follow Focus and Motion Capture system. Positional data is received and processed by the Bridge, passed to the Core, which in turn controls a lens motor. Designed to be both durable and light weight, an anodized coating balances aesthetics with a scratch and corrosions resistant finish.

Features

Core

• Control up to 3 motors – focus, iris and zoom (* note - iOS app supports Focus only).
• Run/Stop capability when used with the Andra Arc Elite hand unit (currently in development).
• Lemo push/pull connectors on all ports.
• CNC milled 6061 Aluminum for a lightweight and durable chassis.
• User selectable display units – metric or imperial.
• Motor and Power cable included.

Bridge

• Up to 8 Packs (32 sensors) can connect at a time via WiFi.
• Attaches to the back panel of the Core, allowing both units to be mounted using the included ¼ -20 mounting hardware.
• Lemo push-pull connectors on all ports.

Overview

The Andra Radius System maintains focus on moving objects and performers by tracking their position within a magnetic field, produced by a cube shaped device known as an Ambit.

Rubberized corners, a lip and groove seal and an internal cradle have been engineered to protect the component from normal production use.

Features

• Creates a 16' (5m) radius magnetic field.
• Lemo push/pull power connector.
• No line of sight needed.

Specifications

• Mounts to the camera rig, using the included ¼ -20 mounting hardware.
• Dimensions: 11 cm (4.33”) L x 11.19 cm (4.41”) W x 11.19 cm (4.41”) H.
• Weight: 400g (.88lbs) without mounting plates.

Overview

Sensors

Sensors are attached to objects and performers, allowing the Andra Radius System to track their position and orientation within the performance area.

The combination of multiple Sensors, and offsets from these Sensors, gives the system an unlimited number of recallable, and trackable, focal distances.

Pack

Packs are lightweight wireless transmitters that can each accommodate up to 4 Sensors.

Up to 8 Packs, (32 Sensors total) can be used at a time.

Features

Sensor

• Small and lightweight.
• Attached to a performer using the supplied Sensor Tape.
• Sub-centimeter tracking capabilities.
• Removable cable for easy replacement should the cable be damaged

Pack

• Up to 4 Sensors can be used on a single Pack.
• User selectable Pack ID, from A-H.
• Built in re-chargeable battery with up to 3 hours of continuous streaming, depending on the number of Sensors connected. (Standby Mode available, to extend battery life, when not in use during takes.)
• Connect to the Bridge via WiFi.
• Long range transmitter (beyond the performance area).
• Specialized communication protocol which minimizes latency and maximizes throughput and reliability.
