Vinten has developed the Vector 950Active pan and tilt
head System to interface with the Canon Optical Shift Image
Stabiliser (""Shift-IS"") technology.
The result is a new stabilisation system for sports and events broadcasts. The Vector 950 Active features integral real-time digital electronic positioning for precise and accurate data, which communicates with the stabilisation systems of Canon'sDIGISUPER100AF and DIGISUPER86AF long-field zoom lenses. The result is that the intuitive and natural motions of the camera operator provide instant and active control of the Shift-IS stabilisation. The Vector 950 Active comes complete with a standard four bolt base, single telescopic pan bar and wedge adapter. It offers an increased capacity of up to 120 kg / 264 lbs providing perfectly balanced tilt.
By combining the characteristics of the TF drag control with infinite perfect balance adjustment, the effort needed to control the effect of a heavy, moving camera payload remains constant, predictable and minimal- not a major distraction.
The combination of Vinten's Vector 950 Active and Canon's Shift-IS stabilisation is ideally suited for use in sports broadcast and other production.
• Instant, active picture control designed for fast paced HD OB
• Sharp, stable pictures -no trace of lag after pan or tilt movements
• Minimal amount of processing required for final broadcast output
The Vector 950Active is available as two systems:
The Vector 950ActiveC4 system, which communicates with Canon’s Digisuper 100AF and 86AF lenses; comprising of the Vector 950OE head with optical encoders (V3984-0001) and C4 Active serial box (ASB-CIN-C4).
The Vector 950ActiveC2 system, which communicates with Canon’s Type 2 Digisuper 100XS*, 86XS* and 75XS* lenses; comprising of the Vector OE head with optical encoders (V3984-0001) and C2 Active serial box (ASB-VIN-C2).
