Jigsaw Systems acquires the new 3DRigs.com agency for the UK and exhibits technology at the upcoming Broadcast Video Expo in London

2nd February 2010 - Jigsaw Systems, experts in pro video, pro audio, stereoscopic 3D and NLE, have announced that they recently acquired the new 3DRigs.com agency for the UK.

3DRigs.com (based in South Africa) and Jigsaw Systems are launching the world-class 3D Pro Ultra Rig at this year's Broadcast Video Expo (BVE). Jigsaw Systems, in association with South African designer Russ Bowden, will be demonstrating the new state-of-the-art 3D camera rig between 16 and 18 February 2010 at stand I-30 at the event, which takes place at London’s Earls Court.

The 3D Pro Ultra Rig uses an onboard computer, coupled with Pro Rig software to calculate the correct interaxial and convergence settings – whether shooting stereoscopic 3D films using 35mm film, advanced digital cinema cameras or HD video cameras. The 3D Pro Ultra Rig also uses advanced motion control technology and robust hybrid stepper motors to set the cameras to their correct positions for optimum accuracy during operation. The onboard computer can be conveniently detached from the rig, allowing the computer to become a hand-held device.

The rig will soon be available with a wireless interface and joystick control to give outside broadcast units full on-the-fly 3D rig management for live action shoots.

Visit Jigsaw Systems at BVE, Earls Court, London for a demonstration of the 3D Pro Ultra Rig. You can find them, along with Russ Bowden of 3DRigs.com, at stand I-30.
