SmartRail System Overview

SmartRail is Shotoku’s second generation rail track system and offers unparalleled performance and flexibility for studios where dynamic camera movement is required.

Using a track camera system can bring some exceptional results, especially when you consider the range of track shapes and configurations available, whether floor or ceiling mounted.  Couple that with a market-leading range of elevator column specifications and you have a truly unbeatable system suited to almost any application.

SmartRail systems offer the capability to achieve shots not possible with any other remote camera configuration, and provide the smoothest of movements across a studio, regardless of the studio floor condition.  Ceiling track systems with descender height columns give crane-like shots without the floor space penalty.  Indeed, it is possible to create a studio with no floor cameras at all, leaving the creative design of the studio completely free of floor restrictions.  Advanced mechanical design with an anti-wheelie, anti-slip drive belt system and multiple redundant safety systems make SmartRail not only high performing, but safe and highly resilient – essential for the 24/7 operation customers often require.
