E-Image GH25XR-PRO Virtual Production 100mm Pro Fluid Video Head

E-Image GH25XR-PRO Overview

The GH25XR-PRO Virtual Production 100mm Pro Fluid Video Head from E-Image is a high-performance head and lens tracking system that bundles a fully encoded tripod head, focus and zoom lens encoders, and a data box. It serves as an integral component of XR systems, with support for payloads up to 55 lb. Tracking data is sent via RJ45 UDP or RS-422 serial data employing the widely adopted Free-D protocol. A hard case for the fluid head is included.

Encoded Tripod Head

The GH25XR fluid head features integrated encoders that accurately track and relay the pan and tilt positions in real time. Data from the encoders is output through an 8-pin locking cable. The tripod head supports cameras up to 55 lb and offers adjustable counterbalance, pan, and tilt drag settings.

Data Box

The XR data processing device captures data from the lens focus/zoom encoders and tripod pan/tilt encoders and outputs the encoded data to the Free-D protocol via RJ45 UDP or RS-422 serial data. Free-D is a widely adopted protocol used in virtual production to convey real-world camera movement and positioning data to digital environments. Once the Free-D data is output to the Free-D protocol, it can be received by any virtual production software such as Brainstorm, Vizrt, Avid (Orad), Unreal Engine, Ross Video, Qimera, and more. The indicator lights display the status for data reception, genlock connection, and Free-D protocol output.

Lens Encoders

The encoders connect to the focus and zoom rings of a broadcast lens, capturing the data and encoding it to the Free-D protocol. The included lens encoders are compatible with the vast majority of broadcast lenses and include 0.6, 0.5, and 0.8 pitch gears that mount directly on the lens or a 15mm rod. With a high resolution of 65,536 count/revolution, the magnetic sensors can pick up the most subtle lens adjustments.
