The Mo-Sys StarTracker system is renowned for its precision in camera tracking, enabling seamless movement within virtual environments. By using optical tracking markers installed on the ceiling, StarTracker calculates the exact position and orientation of each camera in real-time. This makes it perfect for virtual studios, augmented reality, and virtual sets, ensuring that the camera movement is flawlessly synchronized with the virtual graphics or set extensions.

StarTracker Studio integrates directly with Unreal Engine, enabling the creation of photorealistic virtual sets that respond in real-time to camera movements. This allows producers to create live 3D environments for broadcasts, virtual events, and film production, where virtual elements blend seamlessly with live-action footage. The Unreal Engine’s powerful rendering capabilities ensure that virtual sets look as realistic as possible, elevating production quality to cinematic levels.

StarTracker Studio supports multiple cameras, enabling directors to switch between different camera angles and perspectives within the virtual environment. This feature is essential for broadcast studios, live events, and virtual film productions where multiple views are necessary. Each camera can move independently while being accurately tracked, providing the flexibility needed for complex, multi-camera setups.

The system supports 4K video resolution, ensuring that virtual production and augmented reality graphics are broadcast or recorded in high definition. This level of detail is essential for high-end productions, such as sports broadcasts, newsrooms, corporate presentations, and virtual live events, where visual clarity is paramount.

StarTracker Studio also excels at producing augmented reality (AR) content, overlaying virtual graphics onto the real world in real-time. This makes it ideal for live sports events, election coverage, weather forecasts, and other broadcast situations where AR elements enhance the viewer's experience by providing dynamic, interactive visualizations.

The low-latency, real-time tracking capability of the Mo-Sys StarTracker ensures smooth, fluid camera movement within the virtual or AR environment. This real-time responsiveness is critical in live productions, where delays or mismatches between camera movement and graphics can disrupt the visual experience.

StarTracker Studio is designed to be easily set up in a variety of studio environments, requiring minimal calibration and only a small number of tracking markers on the ceiling. This makes it flexible and convenient for broadcasters or production teams that need to deploy quickly. Additionally, the system is fully scalable, meaning it can be expanded to accommodate larger studios, multi-camera setups, or multi-location productions.

StarTracker Studio includes a user-friendly interface that allows operators to manage camera tracking, graphics integration, and virtual set environments with ease. This streamlined control system enables quick adjustments and intuitive operation during live productions, ensuring that even complex virtual scenes can be managed effortlessly.

The Mo-Sys StarTracker Studio is ideal for virtual studios, film production, live broadcast studios, corporate presentations, and virtual event spaces. It’s perfect for creating virtual sets, augmented reality environments, and interactive broadcasts where precise camera tracking, real-time graphics, and high-quality visuals are essential. With its scalability and multi-camera support, StarTracker Studio is suitable for productions ranging from small studios to large-scale, multi-location setups.
