“What’s really great about this system is that it’s so small, economical, and unobtrusive. The STEREOTEC Side-by-Side MINI is simple and very straightforward when it comes to the crucial alignment needed in 3D.”

Scott Hoffman (Steadycam Operator / 3D Technician, USA)

 

Sturdy, light-weight, precise.

 

These are the main qualities of the two STEREOTEC Side-by-Side rigs:  The STEREOTEC Side-by-Side MAXI and the STEREOTEC Side-by-Side MINI.

 

These versatile side-by-side rigs were build to satisfy the real-life needs of a complex 3D shooting. They offer intuitive control of the 3D camera setup, no matter if the DOP wants to shoot a panorama, a concert or in a tight space with the MINI. Both rigs share the same qualities as all STEREOTEC products: Build from strong, resistant materials in order to guarantee longevity. This will ensure easy, quick and faithful calibration with the trademark STEREOTEC digital counters for adjustment of interaxial and convergence which can also be motorized and remote controlled if desired.

 

The STEREOTEC Side-by-Side MAXI has a user-friendly modular design. Due to its stability and dependability it feels at home on crane, dolly or in a studio setting alike. It supports cameras from SI-2K to Sony HD-Cams or RED One and can be equipped with an optional Chrosziel quicklock plate or a mounting plate for 1/4” or 3/8” mounts. An optional motorization kit allows the rig to be operated by remote control.

 

The STEREOTEC Side-by-Side MINI was created to be small and lightweight for steadicam or handheld. Despite a weight of mere 1,4 kg (3 pound) and its small size the rig is still as accurate and steady as the larger rigs from STEREOTEC and just as durable as its bigger brothers and sisters. It is unobtrusive and very easy to handle, perfect for operating on a live stage for example.

Stereoscopic Calculator

 

 

”The stereo calculator took all the guess work out of my shoots.

And clients loved the graphical interface.

They understood stereo much better. Good Work!”

Bruce Austin (Stereographic Director, Los Angeles)

 

The Stereoscopic Calculator from Stereoscopic Technologies GmbH is a seemingly simple piece of software whose easy-to-use and intuitive interface will make you forget about the complexity of 3D equations.

 

With the STEREOTEC Stereoscopic Calculator you will reclaim time and energy to focus on the shot, instead of spending it on searching for 3D settings.

 

Just by entering a few parameters (like distances in the set or the kind of lens you use) the STEREOTEC Stereoscopic Calculator will not only calculate the setting of the interaxial and the convergence, but will help you to find the right equipment for the desired result (e.g. should I use a mirror or side-by-side rig).

 

With this quick and easy-to-use tool the stereographer, the director or the DOP will have full control of how to play on the depth composition. The STEREOTEC Stereoscopic Calculator is available for WindowsTM and MacTM (Release MacTM beginning 2010).

 

Don’t estimate, calculate.

 

 

	STEREOSCOPIC CALCULATOR features: for parallel and converged shooting for mirror and side-by-side rigs calculates the maximum allowed interaxial and permits modification according to artistic consideration calculates the angulation/convergence in degrees considers: size of the projection screen, camera, focal length, focus, distances in set limits calculation to user-definable maximum screen parallaxes (separate input of positive and negative parallax) allows to switch between imperial and metric units save and load complete settings   Many more features in preparation…
