Polymotion Chat
Polymotion Chat
SIMPLY YOUR WORKFLOW
Polymotion Chat is a camera solution for small studios. Controlling up to 6 robotic heads from one operator stadium, Chat can be used as a flexible broadcast solution.
ADAPTABLE, AUTOMATED SYSTEM
Whether your requirements are traditional newsroom, standing presenter-led, or magazine format show, Polymotion Chat can help streamline this work-flow.
REPLICATE NATURAL MOVEMENT
An operator has several tools inside Polymotion Chat to replicate a natural camera movement. For example, after framing their subject, a ‘static zone’ can be set to control how far the subject can move before the camera starts to follow it. The speed of this move can also be controlled in line with the production requirements.
FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE
Polymotion Chat can utilise presets to help locate and frame subjects. This can include off frame positions for graphics insertions for news or sports programming or set camera positions for intros or interviews.
Additionally, for the pop-up studio, a remote production workflow can be used with the operator managing the Polymotion Chat system over IP from the main production facility.
USE YOUR EXISTING CAMERAS
Any combination of the MRMC Robotics range can be used with Polymotion Chat.
For customers who already have chosen their cameras they can simply add them to our AFC100 platform. This will turn the camera into a fully automated robotic head with pan, tilt, zoom and focus. This delivers the same consistent ‘look and feel’ in production with the added benefit of precision.
ONE OPERATOR
The Polymotion Chat solution comes in either a 1U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 3 tracking heads) or a 2U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 6). Simply use your existing cameras on one of MRMC Robotic heads and connect. The interface has been designed to work with either a touchscreen or a standard keyboard and mouse. One operator can easily control Polymotion Chat and additional operators’ consoles can be added.
SIMPLE UI
With Polymotion Chat software, automatic zones can be set per camera to ensure the subject is framed correctly and if they move beyond a set radius the camera automatically follows them. Limits can also be set so that if the subject moves out of the studio space the camera simply stops following and returns to it’s default position.

Post-Production Automation
Post-production workflows are notably slow and manual, with files being shipped by hard drive and editors tasked with batch encoding and ingesting files, as well as manually entering custom bin information into their Avid systems. These steps can add days to the production schedule, slowing content creation.
Now, latakoo has created a solution that automates this workflow for teams using Avid Media Composer, shaving days off of the current process.
Automation with MediaComposer
With latakoo, crews on location can send a lightweight proxy file to the editors within minutes of the shoot. With latakoo’s patented compression/upload process, proxy files can be created and quickly uploaded to your private cloud account, for storage and sharing. Metadata associated with the files – such as card number, shoot date, camera ID, project number, or any custom field - can be collected for each group of videos transferred. The metadata form is completely customizable for your project requirements.
After upload, the files are automatically downloaded by latakoo HUB and dropped inside your firewall. All the editors have to do is drag the group of files into the appropriate bin in Avid Media Composer. The files, along with the metadata, automatically populate the Avid bin with the correct information.
And because the proxy files retain their original video ID, relinking the original media is easily achieved.
latakoo is a complete system, so when that first draft is finished, you can easily export it to the cloud for review and approval.
Reclaim Your Time
Imagine saving days off of your current video workflow; automating proxy creation, ingest and metadata into one simple system. It’s possible with latakoo.

Aveco ASTRA Studio 3
Aveco ASTRA Studio 3
ASTRA Studio 3 controls all equipment in the production control room and studio, including graphics, camera robotics, video and audio mixer, video servers, lights, backdrop screens and more. It puts a show on air with maximum impact and minimum staff.
Being the only independent vendor of production automation, Aveco works with all industry manufacturers. This provides customers extreme flexibility in selecting the best-of-breed equipment for each aspect of operations. There’s no need to be tied to any single manufacturer.
ASTRA Studio 3 works with your existing equipment. Aveco has the industry largest library of interfaces, supporting essentially all studio, PCR and MCR hardware and software.
ASTRA Studio 3 is the industry’s only multi-studio production automation system. It not only excels in control of a single studio, but brings many benefits to designs of multi-studio facilities. A single system can produce independent shows in different studios. It can manage complex multi-studio production scenarios as well as share devices across studios. When production runs long in one studio, a button click reassigns the next rundown to another studio. This moves control of all production switcher settings, graphics, virtual sets, camera robotics, video roll-ins, lighting and audio to the alternate studio.
