A.C. Lighting Inc., distributor of world-class lighting and rigging technologies, announces the North American launch of Follow-Me Track-iT during #LDI2022.
Follow-Me Track-iT is a scalable remote manual follow-spot and performer auto-tracking system ideal for the entertainment industry.
“Follow-Me Track-iT is the next generation of Ultra Wideband auto-tracking. It is fixture independent and flexible. As an add-on to Follow-Me 3D SIX. Follow-Me Track-iT allows operators to switch seamlessly between manual and auto-tracking. With Follow-Me Track-iT both manual and auto tracking can be used autonomously, simultaneously, and as redundancy within the one system,” according to the announcement.
Follow-Me Track-iT works seamlessly with any manufacturer's moving lights, used as a follow-spot. There is no limit to the number of fixtures that can be used in the Follow-Me Track-iT system. Stable beams are generated on the performer through smart motion filtering algorithms and prediction. Users can also integrate and merge any lighting console and/or video, audio & automation system, using Track-iT’s performer positioning information.
Through the Follow-Me systems’ camera there is a live video feed of the performance area. The crosshairs automatically follow the performers over a camera feed. This provides the operator and LD with a reference of the real-time auto tracking taking place. Users can then assign any fixture in their rig to any of the performers using Follow-Me control channels in their lighting console.
Performers wear compact tags that communicate their position with the anchors that surround the area to be tracked. Unlimited fixtures and other devices requiring positional data can be assigned to track performers. For multiple performers, Track-iT is scalable to add more tags. For a bigger performance area, users can add more anchors to ensure optimal UWB coverage and seamless tracking.
Join Follow-Me at LDI in A.C. Lighting Inc.’s booth #323 during #LDI2022 for a live demonstration of a complete Follow-Me System. Follow-Me will show attendees how to enable remote manual follow-spot operation and auto-tracking from one scalable system. Follow-Me will be presenting Track-iT during the LDI New Tech Breakfast from 9 am – 11 am Friday, November 18, 2022 (room N245).
