"freedom to move"
zactrack is an automated “Dynamic Light Effect System” designed for open-air events, stages and studios. Any number of performers can be registered in a 3D computer model. (Light system with 3D radio tracking)
zactrack controls and precisely aligns moving lights and special effects equipment via the standard DMX 512 protocol.
POSITION MANAGEMENT
The surveillance area is equipped with 8 to12 base stations. The precise dimensions of the area are measured once to locate the best positions for the stations. Every performer wears a transponder no bigger than a mobile phone. The base stations pick up signals from the transponder. A central computer calculates the exact position
of the performer within the surveillance area. The system has a maximum range of 3/4 mile x 3/4 mile.
For even larger areas multiple systems can be cascaded.
Within the surveillance range as many performers as desired can be monitored simultaneously to an accuracy of +/- 2 inches.
ASSIGNMENT
zactrack is designed to work with all existing moving heads, scanners and effects equipment on the market.
All fixtures, controlled with the DMX 512 standard protocol, can be moved automatically.
zactrack can be used as a stand alone solution or in combination with an existing light console.
All fixtures can be adjusted simultaneously. The equipment is grouped and directed towards the individual performers.
Individual fixtures can be assigned to different performers during the performance as the scenes change.
EFFECTS
The innovative zactrack technology has revolutionized interactive lighting productions.
zactrack offers a complex mobile lighting concept, which can be adjusted to each individual performer. A number of colored moving lights can be set to follow individual performers through all their movements in the surveillance area. Lighting can be programmed to each performer and changed as the performer moves to another zone.
Beams can follow the performer for special dynamic effects, e.g. like planets that circle the sun.
SPORTING EVENTS
The system's large surveillance range makes zactrack an ideal choice for sports events. A single system can capture entire race tracks, football fields, ski jumps and ice rinks.
Athletes can move with complete freedom while constantly remaining in the spotlight.
The accuracy of the equipment is sufficient for the surveillance high speed motion of any kind of racing competition.
THEATRES, STUDIOS and EXHIBITIONS
The dynamic lighting concept of zactrack enables the designer to define an individual lighting choreography for every actor. Spotlighting of each performer is achieved with high precision, independent of the sequence of movements.
Lighting moods in TV-Studios can be automatically triggered by the movements of TV presenters and cameras while the undesired lens flare effect is securely avoided
WORSHIP, LECTURES and CONGRESSES
No matter if it is a scientific congress an annual shareholders' meeting or a worship event – speakers rarely stick to their scripts. Using zactrack the lecturer will always be in the spotlight, even if he walks through the aisles of the auditorium.
Combining the tracking mechanism with a radio microphone, every questioner to the plenum will be automatically focused with a spotlight thus concentrating all attention on the matter.
