Description
FoMaSystem FoMa Antares |
Available in six distinct configurations, FoMa Antares is engineered to meet the full spectrum of professional production needs. |
|
Hollow Axle ConfigurationPerformance with minimal weight, a compact footprint, and outstanding value. Featuring a generous usable inner diameter, it easily accommodates full-size broadcast and cinema camera setups. The hollow pan axle enables optimal cable routing directly through the center of the pan axis – simplifying complex builds and avoiding external cable clutter. This design ensures uncompromised cable management for cameras and accessories, making it ideal for demanding live broadcast and cinema environments. By maintaining a clean, unobstructed signal and power path, the system preserves full remote head functionality without limiting performance. |
Slip-Ring ConfigurationThis configuration is equipped to meet the requirements of any production. Minimal weight, compact size, and unbeatable value make FoMa Antares the ideal solution for any workflow. A fiber optic and SDI video slip-ring, developed especially for FoMaSystems enables the FoMa Antares to provide a stable and reliable data stream without limitation in the pan axis. With IP connectivity, distance is no longer a barrier – our systems can be controlled remotely with ease, whether over a local network or remotely. For immersive augmented reality (AR) applications, our software engine Evolve 1.0 delivers a stable, real-time metadata stream compatible with any AR platform. Thanks to our IP Bridge, we support integration with any third-party protocol, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing workflows. A unified, intuitive graphical interface makes working between our systems fast and effortless. |
