FocusBug Cine RT System Package Inc UBS-100

Overview
The Ultrasonic Base Sensor UBS-100 is a compact and versatile device that combines all on-camera systems into one unit. It offers a wide field of view and a maximum range of 35 feet in RANGER mode and up to 120 feet in BUG and HANDSET modes. With adjustable sensitivity and advanced features like LIMITS and LOCKOUT, unwanted targets and reflections can be easily eliminated. The UBS-100 also allows for synchronization with other CINE RT systems and has compatibility with various devices. It features a Class 3R laser for targeting and a self-regulating thermostat for accurate distance calibration.

The Handset Control Unit HCU-100 allows for remote control of the CINE RT system through a robust RF link with a range of 800 feet. It also has advanced features like LIMITS and LOCKOUT and a SONIC ANALYZER for real-time display of room reflections. The HCU-100 can monitor two targets simultaneously and has an integrated ultrasonic tape measure. With features like MARKS VIEW and FOCUS WHISPER, it offers convenient mark collection and manipulation. The CINE RT system also includes the Bug Miniature Ultrasonic Transmitter, which is lightweight and easily concealable. The system is completed with the High-Bright LED Display, which offers a bright and clear readout, adjustable brightness levels, and long-range RF communication with the CINE RT BASE.

About the FocusBug Cine RT System Package Inc UBS-100
The CINE RT SYSTEM PACKAGE is comprised of four main components housed in CNC machined aluminium, Delrin and ABS with industry standard connectors, spherical actuator buttons and low profile mounting hardware. All components communicate on user selectable 2.4 GHz low power RF bands for exceptional range of up to 800’ (240m) line of sight, while proprietary protocol settings allow several CINE RT systems to work in close proximity while avoiding crosstalk.

ULTRASONIC BASE SENSOR

The low profile ULTRASONIC BASE SENSOR operates as both a rangefinder and receiver for tracking CINE RT BUG Ultrasonic Transmitters while sending constant distance information to the CINE RT Handset, CINE RT High-Bright LED DIsplay(s), Preston HU3 and Arri WCU-4 Handsets. The BASE mounts easily on the camera via several mounting block options, which enable a variety of industry standard brackets to be used. With it’s control systems, sensor array, RF systems and targeting laser combined into one compact unit, the BASE is designed to minimize camera build weight and clutter.

HANDSET CONTROL UNIT

The HANDSET CONTROL UNIT is a touchscreen hub to access LIVE VIEW display modes, operational tools and user settings. The HANDSET allows all adjustments to be made remotely without needing to be hands-on with the camera. The HANDSET also doubles as a discrete tape measure allowing up to eight marks to be quickly collected, stored and edited without pulling a tape or sighting a laser. Select the FOCUS WHISPER or MARKS VIEW to hear or see your marks in relation to your target’s movements in real time.

HIGH-BRIGHT LED DISPLAY

The compact HIGH-BRIGHT LED DISPLAY relays distance data with 0.55″ (14mm) ultra-bright LED characters. Five levels of brightness ensures exceptional visibility in all lighting conditions. Remotely chain several HIGH-BRIGHT displays to offer multiple readouts of the same source or use two HIGH-BRIGHTS to track two different targets simultaneously while in DUAL VIEW.

ULTRASONIC BUG TRANSMITTER

The miniature ULTRASONIC BUG TRANSMITTER is milled from rugged lightweight ABS, measures 1.6″ x 1.6″ x 0.4″ (4 x 4 x 1 cm) and weighs less than 0.7oz (20g). The BUG can be easily hidden and will transmit ultrasound through most fabrics with no RF emissions. Place them on your assistants, stand-ins or principal actors for fast continuous distance information. Track up to four BUG sources to distances of 120′ (36.5m) line of sight from the BASE.
