1. WHAT IS KOALA?
KOALA enables rapid acquisition of PAN, TILT, ZOOM, and FOCUS tracking data with
any tripod-mounted camera.
Additionally, with CRANE option it provides XYZ position information of camera
mounted on a crane or a telescopic crane and slider with AUX encoder option.
In a broadcast setting, the system seamlessly operates in SYNC thanks to its dedicated
input. Alternatively, in various scenarios, users have the flexibility to generate data at
the desired framerate.
Tracking data is accessible through UDP Ethernet, UDP Wi-Fi, and RS485 Serial
interfaces. Users can also select between the "FreeD" and "OSC" protocols.
Locally you can reset the LENS and PAN, utilize the AUTOLEVEL function, monitor real-
time TRACKING DATA, and check SYNC status.
For remote management, a dedicated web page allows convenient access to all
essential settings.
KOALA has been developed based on the feedback from experts in the virtual
production industry and it’s designed for simple and intuitive use, aiming to provide a
ready-to-use tracking system for a broad range of users in a few minutes.
Easy to understand and compatible with commonly used shooting techniques in virtual
production.
KOALA allows more time for productivity and creativity!
