RoboStick joystick
Best controller choice for a wide range of production robotics
RoboStick key features
1. Control for wide range of devices – Control of pan-tilt heads, Canon, Sony and Panasonic PTZ cameras and other PTZ Cameras supporting VISCA over IP, control of robotic dollies, pedestals and sliders. Support for various SDI switchers.
2. Single operator control – A single person can control a large number of complex robotic devices after a short training as the user interface is easy and intuitive.
3. Synchronized control of devices from different manufacturers – It is possible to control a PTZ together with pedestal, dolly or slider as a single robotic unit. This means that presets and traces for such a system can be defined despite the fact that different parts of the system are using different communication protocols.
4. Complex presets – Saving presets from single or multiple robotic systems. Execution of presets for several robotic systems in parallel with the given execution times. Possibility of defining array of presets.
5. Advanced traces – Joystick moves of complex robotic systems can be recorded and later reproduced by pressing a button. It is possible to record some axis and leave some for manual control as well as combine axes of different devices with different communication protocols.

Preset
Preset database allows for custom organization
and advanced search of presets.
This solution can be very useful for systems with
a large number of presets.
Multipreset
Can be used to create and recall presets for several
systems at the same time.
Series (Preset array)
Is an option that allows defining several preset
settings that will be executed consecutively in
defined time frames (even for different cameras or
for multiple cameras).
Trace
Can be used to save manual moves made by the
operator of various robotic axes and to recall them
afterwards. Here moves of different systems (like
a PTZ and pedestal, dolly or slider) could be
recorded and recalled in synchronization.
Configuration
Easy and intuitive configuration of the overall
system.
