Available now, the portable encoded jib costs about €11,000, with full camera-and-electronics systems around €50,000 through CARTONI, dealers, Miraxis and Sony.
The 15kg aluminium jib uses 22-bit absolute encoders on pan and elevation axes, requires no calibration, and feeds real-time motion data for AR overlays, virtual objects and sports graphics.
Aimed at smaller production companies, broadcasters, universities and houses of worship, it offers open-architecture integration via BiSS-C and Lemo connectors instead of a closed proprietary ecosystem.
