NBC uses Telemetrics’ robotic systems for views of Olympic village
Feb 27, 2006 2:43 PM, Beyond The Headlines e-newsletter
 Telemetrics outdoor robotics systems were mounted throughout the Olympic Village in Turin, including the historic 1934 Mercati Generali building, without compromising the local architecture. |
The Telemetrics system employed consisted of the PT-LWP-S3 weatherproof pan/tilt system, the LWP-HOU-S3 weatherproof housing and the CP-D3A control panel. The precision pan/tilt head features provided smooth and quiet camera movements, due to heavy-duty bearings and motors with isolation mounts that replicated the look and feel of a manned camera position. Up to 255 presets were available and the unit was controlled through serial data using RS-232 or RS-422, or through 10/100 Base-T Ethernet.
The CP-D3A desktop control panel allowed operators to simultaneously adjust the pan/tilt/zoom functions of the system via the joystick or to conveniently call up programming camera selects with the touch of a button.
Designed for use with industrial box cameras and motorized zoom lenses, the LWP-HOU-S3 housing opened from the rear to facilitate accessibility during installation. The unit included thermostatic control of internal temperature with a heater, sun shield, fan and window wiper and also housed the electronics to power and control the system.
