Ross Video Expands Cable Camera Offerings with EagleEye Acquisition

Ross Video, a leading provider of innovative production solutions for the motion picture, broadcast, and live event industries, has announced the acquisition of EagleEye, a renowned cable camera system manufacturer. This strategic move complements Ross' Spidercam series and expands their range of camera motion systems.

The acquisition of EagleEye not only broadens Ross' set of creative solutions but also enhances their portfolio, offering immersive cable camera viewpoints to more productions. With EagleEye on board, Ross Video is now equipped with a versatile offering that caters to both rental and purchase models, addressing the growing demand for cable camera systems.

Versatile Motion Capture, Precision, and Remote Operation

Ross Video's cable camera systems, including the EagleEye product line, are highly capable robotic camera solutions. These systems enable dynamic, precise, and repeatable camera movements in environments where conventional camera operation is not feasible or efficient.

Key capabilities and applications of these cable camera systems include versatile motion capture, precision and repeatability, remote operation, integration with broadcast workflows, and enhancement of live event production. The systems can move smoothly along rigged cables, offering unique aerial and dynamic shots, and can be controlled remotely, enhancing safety and access to otherwise unreachable camera positions.

Expanded Portfolio and Global Manufacturing

With the addition of EagleEye, Ross Video now offers modular 1D, 2D, and 3D camera motion systems for various needs. EagleEye will be manufactured in Canada at Ross's global manufacturing facility, ensuring high-quality production and efficient delivery.

This acquisition also means that Ross customers and partners will have access to an expanded portfolio of cable-camera systems. Ross Video is also integrating sec.swiss's technology to enhance its camera motion systems offerings, further bolstering their capabilities in the field.

Innovative Cinematography and Live Broadcast Camera Angles

Cable cameras, according to Ross Video CEO David Ross, bring unique audience immersion to events. These systems add dynamic visual storytelling elements during live shows, concerts, and sports, providing audiences with engaging, cinematic views.

Thus, Ross Video’s cable camera systems like EagleEye are vital tools for delivering innovative cinematography and live broadcast camera angles that combine smooth motion, remote operation, and integration with advanced production workflows, enhancing the quality and creativity of motion picture, broadcast, and live event productions.

More information about the expanded camera motion systems offerings can be found on the company's website. Ross Video continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in live production, and the acquisition of EagleEye is a testament to their commitment to innovation and excellence.
