Overview
ZEISS CinCraft Scenario is the only real-time camera tracking system that works indoors and outdoors, on film sets, with green and blue screens and in LED volumes. That uses natural markers, reflective markers, and even digital markers on LED screens. That provides camera tracking data for real-time use and records it for post-production. And that integrates lens characteristics to skip the cumbersome lens calibration process.
The CinCraft Scenario Advanced Bundle is primarily aimed at rental facilities and includes all of the hardware included in the Base Bundle. In addition, it includes the CinCraft Link, which allows the user to set the CinCraft Origin up remotely from the main camera. The bundle also includes compatible cables for powering up the CinCraft Scenario equipment from the main camera with compatible lenses.
Easy to Use
ZEISS CinCraft Scenario introduces a user experience designed to match the film crew's workflow. It works with regular off-the-shelf equipment and is natively compatible with major camera and lens encoder systems to provide all the data the system needs to track properly.
The integration of the ZEISS CinCraft lens characteristics database in the form of Virtual Lens Packages allows to skip the cumbersome lens calibration process: CinCraft Scenario is plug and play when used with ZEISS and ARRI/ZEISS cinema lenses. Still, CinCraft Scenario will be usable with any lens.
CinCraft Scenario’s self-explanatory user interface and wizards guide the user for setting up the hardware configuration and tracking on a film set in every environment and scenario. Additional tutorials will help to educate operators, that are new to the system and make it easy to learn and master.
Tracking, Recording, Exporting
ZEISS CinCraft Scenario is composed of several modular software components. Users can pick exactly what they need for their task at hand. The components are available as licenses on a one week, one month or one year basis.
CinCraft Softwares
CinCraft Scenario
The base software that operates the CinCraft Scenario system. It aggregates info received from CamBar to compute position and movement in real-time. It requires very little setup time and is plug and play when used with CinCraft Virtual Lens Packages.
CinCraft Wrangler
Wrangler records real-time tracking data and camera and lens metadata on the CinCraft Origin's internal drive. Data is recorded with a proprietary file format (herd file) that can be extracted using CinCraft Export.
CinCraft Export
Export is a separate, free of charge software running on the VFX artists’ workstations. It translates recorded herd files into formats readable by most common post-production VFX software (Nuke, Maya, Unreal, etc.).
CinCraft UE Connect
UE Connect provides an easy-to-configure interface to Unreal Engine, enabling the use of real-time tracking data provided by CinCraft Scenario. UE Connect is available for free via the Epic Marketplace.
