Description

OCELLUS, perfectly suited for virtual production such as In-Camera VFX and AR, sends the camera position and orientation data while the camera is shooting. The system comprises a sensor unit, a processing box, and three lens encoders, and can be used with Sony Cinema Line cameras, system cameras, and non-Sony cameras. With the five image sensors and Sony’s Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology, the system creates a reference map, enabling stable marker-free tracking both indoors and outdoors. When using Sony cameras, metadata regarding about focus, iris and zoom values from the camera and lens can be obtained via the camera's SDI output and transmitted in real-time to external devices via Ethernet cable. If the lens does not support metadata acquisition through the camera, lens encoders can be affixed to the camera to obtain this metadata. The acquired metadata can then be used for virtual production and AR. The system also supports recording tracking data, camera/lens metadata, timecode and file name, which can be used for the post-production workflow.
