Description
Mo-Sys MoRail – Motorised Camera Rail System for PTZ and ENG Broadcast Cameras
Bring depth, movement and a stronger sense of presence to your broadcast production with Mo-Sys MoRail. Designed for creative PTZ and ENG camera movement, this motorised camera rail system helps production teams transform studio coverage with controlled tracking shots and engaging changes in perspective. From newsroom presentations to corporate broadcasts, MoRail gives producers the freedom to make camera movement part of the story.
Give Every Camera Move a Creative Purpose
A camera move can reveal a studio, introduce a presenter or draw attention to a new part of the set. MoRail adds physical movement to compatible camera workflows, enabling lateral reveals, tracking shots and curved orbits. As the camera travels, the changing relationship between foreground and background creates parallax, adding visual depth to the image.
Its freestanding design also suits studios where flexibility matters. With no permanent ceiling-track installation required, MoRail can support changing set layouts, shared production spaces and temporary studio environments.
Repeatable Movement for Broadcast Production
MoRail brings programmable camera movement into studio automation workflows. Production teams can prepare camera positions and coordinate movement with pan, tilt, zoom and focus, helping them reproduce planned shots consistently across a programme.
For newsrooms and regularly scheduled productions, repeatability makes it easier to establish a recognisable visual style. A carefully planned camera move can become part of the presentation format, helping each segment feel deliberate and cohesive. MoRail combines robotic rail movement with camera control to support this approach to broadcast production.
Flexible Camera Compatibility and Rail Configurations
MoRail supports compatible Sony, Canon, Panasonic and BirdDog PTZ cameras. ENG camera workflows are supported through integration with the Mo-Sys L20 Remote Head.
Choose between 3 m and 6 m rail lengths, with straight and curved configurations available. Motorised legs provide 580 mm of height adjustment from the base height, helping align the camera with presenter eye level. An integral energy chain keeps cabling organised, while custom lengths below 6 m and project-specific configurations are available on request.
Creative Motion Across Studio and Event Applications
MoRail is designed for newsrooms, conventional studios, greenscreen environments, LED volume broadcast applications and corporate presentations. It gives production teams a way to introduce accurate, repeatable camera movement without the investment and operational complexity associated with traditional dolly arrangements.
For live events, its lateral and curved movement can add energy to coverage of presenters, performers and stage elements. A moving perspective can reveal the scale of a set, build a visual connection between subjects and give audiences a more engaging view of the production space.
