Description
Egripment StarCam Studio
Professional Vertical Lift Column for Broadcast, Virtual Production & Automated Studios
The Egripment StarCam Studio is a dedicated vertical camera lift column engineered for high-end broadcast studios, corporate production spaces, and virtual/augmented reality stages. Combining Egripment’s proven StarCam mechanics with studio-focused control and safety features, the StarCam Studio delivers reliable, motorized elevation for remote heads, teleprompters, and camera rigs of all sizes. Its sleek form factor and integrated IP-based control make it the ideal solution for automated camera workflows, multi-camera live events, and AR/XR broadcast applications.
Engineered for Studio Automation & Virtual Sets
Built on the foundation of Egripment’s encoded motion technology, the StarCam Studio column provides precise, repeatable vertical movement and real-time position feedback. It integrates seamlessly with Egripment’s DigiLite remote heads (306 Encoded Head, HotHead 3) and major control platforms—including Unreal Engine, Vizrt, Mo-Sys, and Brainstorm—enabling frame-perfect synchronization between physical camera motion and virtual environments.
The column’s low-noise electric motor and vibration-dampening construction ensure clean audio conditions, while its modular mounting options (upright floor mount, dolly base, or inverted truss suspension) deliver maximum flexibility for any studio layout.
Optimized for Modern Production Workflows
The Egripment StarCam Studio is tailored to the evolving needs of virtual studios, AR-enhanced broadcasts, and automated multi-camera systems. Its real-time encoder output aligns vertical camera movement with digital assets—enabling everything from LED volume compositing to live sports graphics. By reducing cable clutter through IP-based infrastructure, the StarCam Studio simplifies setup and enhances reliability for critical, on-air productions.
