Combining a rotating platform with a treadmill belt and a programmable PC interface for complete control, the VidMill is ideal for smaller LED volumes or smaller capturing spaces.
The VidMill is based on a classical style
treadmill, making walking easy for
everybody.
The VidMill’s infinite rotation capability serves as a turntable. It enables users to walk in any direction while its flat platform allows side steps and short distance walking without treadmill activation.
The VidMill is controlled from a Computer and integrates seamlessly to your software applications.
Allows for movement speed up to 3 m/s
(>10km/h / >6.5mph)
The VidMill minimises noise creation and
ensures smooth, convenient, and safe
movement for actors, with Soft Start and
Soft Stop options.
Customise turntable rotation, treadmill belt
movement, and speed. Adjust timing,
movement, rotation speeds, and
accelerations to meet your specific needs.
Create, Save, Load & Play Procedures as needed.
Seamlessly integrate the VidMill with your Unreal Engine project to synchronize movement.
Use the Arrow Keys on your keyboard to manually control the turning Treadmill
immediately and without delay.
The movement of the VidMill Video Production Treadmill is perfectly synchronized with the virtual content displayed on LED walls, allowing to create recordings of actors moving infinitely, even in smaller On-Set Virtual Production studios.
As our Video Production Treadmill is implemented into the 3D engine directly, it works independently of the camera tracking solution. Thus, it can be used in combination with any camera tacking solution.
The low height of 25cm (approx. 10”) of the platform allows to optimally use of the height of the LED screens available.
The Cyberith VidMill comes with rollers, that allow to move the device on stage with little effort.
The Cyberith VidMill has been proven to be a useful tool for volumetric capture. It allows customers to record actors running and walking whilst completing their performance, thereby creating a dynamic appearance that engages viewers.
The VidMill replaces the stage often used in Volumetric Capture rigs. It forms a stable, plane surface that the actor can walk on and can be used like a regular stage when the treadmill is not active.
The maximum diameter of the Cyberith VidMill is 193cm (approx. 6’4”). It thus fits well within typical Volmetric Capture spaces.
By using an according holder, the VidMill’s allows to stack “apple boxes” onto it’s platform when the belt is not active.
We are keen to learn more about your specific needs and requirements for the ideal video production treadmill and understand that each customer’s requirements may be different.
For example, the VidMill can be supplied in different colours, including chroma key green.
Please contact us to discuss how we can customize VidMill to meet your individual needs.
The Cyberith VidMill is a finalist in the prestigious 7th International VR Awards.
It is an honor to be a finalist in the “VR Hardware of the Year” category.
The Cyberith VidMill is available now to film studios and professional content creators.
