Sony Ocellus

Advanced Camera Tracking for Virtual Production

The Sony OCELLUS is a versatile camera tracking system engineered for seamless integration into virtual production, AR, and post-production workflows. By combining a multi-eye sensor unit with a dedicated processing box and lens encoder, it delivers high-precision tracking data and lens metadata for professional cinematography.

Marker-Free Visual SLAM Technology

Eliminate the need for IR markers or stationary cameras. The OCELLUS uses Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to recognize feature points in any environment. With sensors on five faces, the system maintains stable tracking even if obstacles block part of the view.

Comprehensive Component System

• Sensor Unit: Compact (approx. 3.39 x 2.36 x 1.69 in) and lightweight (8.82 oz). It mounts via NATO rail and includes IR LEDs for dark environments.
• Processing Box: Features an OLED status display, Genlock, Timecode, and SDI connectivity. It outputs tracking data in free-d format via Ethernet for Unreal Engine integration.
• Lens Encoder: Captures zoom, focus, and iris data directly from the lens rings when SDI metadata is unavailable.

Streamlined Post-Production Workflow

Record tracking and camera motion data as FBX files directly to SDXC cards (UHS-II/UHS-I). This allows for precise matching in post-production. The system supports Origin Point Setting via a web menu or physical chart to align real-world coordinates with CG space.

Built for Professional Environments

Designed to be durable and resistant to dust and moisture*, the OCELLUS features active cooling fans to prevent overheating during long shoots. The system powers via a robust Fischer 3-pin input (11 V to 32 V).
