Zactrack – The next generation of real-time tracking
Daniel Löfgren, Technical salesperson at Gobo AB
Zactrack is a system for real-time and 3D tracking of where artists or objects are in a room, on a stage or in an arena. The technology used is radio tracking on the UWB band (6.2-6.7 GHz). The system is insensitive to external factors such as sunlight, confetti or smoke.
Transmitters and antennas can be hidden under clothing or behind wood, fabric, plaster etc.
The system is available in three sizes – Mini, Smart and Pro – where the Mini system is for the smallest productions and the pro system can keep track of an entire arena. The data you get from the system can be used to control sound processors, video servers and above all moving lights.
Assembly and configuration of the system is almost "plug & play" and all programming takes place either via an app in a tablet PC, or via the light table. Today, Zactrack is widely used on productions around the world. Most recently at Rihanna's Super Bowl Halftime Show. Come and be inspired to use tracking as a creative tool in your production.
