The Stars Align to Create Dynamic New Studio Space for Arag n TV posted: 02/08/2023
Arag n TV studio with Vinten automation and networked Autoscript products
Vinten, a leading provider of robotic camera support systems and a Videndum brand, has provided advanced robotics solutions to Spanish regional broadcaster, Arag n TV, in the recent upgrade of its studio facilities in Zaragoza. Recognising the importance of incorporating the latest broadcasting technology into their production workflows, Arag n TV engaged Madrid-based Moncada y Lorenzo to commission new robotic camera systems and teleprompters.

Advanced robotic systems from Vinten, including robotic heads, height drives, and pedestals, were selected to enhance Arag n TVs studio capabilities. With these robotic systems, the studios gain precise control over camera movements and positioning, enabling smooth and dynamic shots.

Another crucial component of the upgrade was the adoption of an IP-based teleprompting solution. By implementing Autoscripts IP-based WinPlus-IP intelligent prompting software, Arag n TV can share control across their facility, improving their production workflow and efficiency. Integrating Autoscript prompters on the network also simplifies equipment management and ensures fail-safe redundancy measures for live broadcasts. In the studio, the EPIC-IP prompters integrate talent and prompting monitors to further enhance the overall experience for presenters.
One of the key features of the Vinten robotics system selected by Arag n TV is the inclusion of a StarTracker optical camera tracking system in the FH-155VR heads. The unified solution enables seamless tracking of camera positions in real time without the need to add extra equipment to the camera package. A StarTracker camera built into the head references reflective stickers on the studio ceiling and provides precise tracking information. The high level of accuracy offered by the integrated StarTracker solution removes the need to target the robotic equipment each morning, saving time and resource, explains Juan Jos Ramos, Technical Director at Moncada y Lorenzo. It also gives production staff the freedom to move the cameras around the studio in manual mode and change quickly back to robotic control in any position.

The enhanced studio setup at Arag n TV includes distinct spaces dedicated to different program production. Studio 3, covering an area of around 400 square meters, primarily focuses on news production. It boasts a brand-new, expansive LED wall and advanced AR capabilities to help bring every story to life. As the largest studio, it features four Vinten FP-188+ robotic pedestals fitted with four FH-155VR StarTracker robotic heads. This robotic support system also allows manual operation, making it perfect for dynamic production. The camera setup is completed with four EPIC-IP19XL teleprompters, which combine a 19 inch prompt monitor with a large integrated 24 inch talent feedback monitor. The prompters each include a CLOCKPLUS-IP to display time, tally, and camera number, ensuring all information is clearly displayed to the presenters for easy reference.

Measuring approximately 100 square meters, Studio 4 is dedicated to virtual productions. To suit its smaller size, Arag n TV selected Vinten FE-165 Height Drives that offer exceptionally smooth robotic elevation where there is no need for XY movement. Studio 4 can effectively leverage the advantages of robotic automation, including encoded tracking for VR within a more compact space.

Integrating third-party equipment was a critical aspect of Arag n TVs upgrade. The robotics system seamlessly integrates with Brainstorm and Avid Maestro engines, enhancing AR capabilities to enable immersive visual effects. Autoscripts WinPlus-IP prompting software automatically receives instant script updates from the facilitys iNews NRCS system. They also use a Tallyman server for Tally over IP signalling for both the robotics systems and prompters.
Through this comprehensive studio upgrade, Arag n TV has achieved increased operational efficiency and improved production quality. Integrating advanced robotic systems, AR/VR capabilities, and IP-based teleprompting solutions has revolutionised their program production. Building automation that improves the efficiency and creativity of a broadcasters production capabilities is key to our ongoing roadmap, says Philip Dalgoutte, Product Manager Robotics and Prompting at Videndum Production Solutions. By adopting technology such as Autoscripts IP control for added flexibility and Vintens integration of StarTracker technology for improved accuracy, Arag n TV has shown how our products can help broadcasters maximise resource while continuing to develop ever more engaging content.
