Ross Furio SE Wins Best of Show Award at IBC2017

NewBay Media recognizes Ross line of Robotic Camera Systems for performance, reliability, and safety

Thursday, September 21st, 2017 [Ottawa, Ontario, Canada] – Furio SE, Ross Video’s line of Robotic Camera Systems, was recognized with a NewBay Media Best of Show Award at this week’s IBC in Amsterdam. The award was presented to Ross Video® on the show floor by TVTechGlobal.

The NewBay Media Best of Show Awards are determined by a panel of engineers and industry experts, using such criteria as innovation, feature set, cost efficiency, reliability and performance.

“We are extremely proud to have won this award for Furio SE. Our line of robotic camera systems is the highest performance, most reliable, and safest dolly system available with a lift that is taller, faster, and stronger than previous generations. Furio was already a very good product and now it’s even better. We are confident that it will meet with great market success,” stated Bruce Takasaki, Marketing Product Manager for Ross Robotics.

Furio SE is a key component within the Ross Robotics portfolio of advanced camera motion systems. Furio SE Studio includes accurate absolute encoding on the column and dolly, for consistent and repeatable presets and moves, while also providing high resolution tracking data for Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR). As well, many of Furio SE’s advantages are particularly attractive for live events where the system is frequently torn down and packed up.

As with all Ross Robotics systems, Furio SE integrates tightly with Automated Production Control systems, such as Ross Overdrive, as well as other third party systems. Furio SE is also a central element of Virtual Solutions packages from Ross Video, the leader in turnkey Virtual Studio / Augmented Reality solutions.
