Global Film Supplies provides two ‘Integrated Flying Wire Technologies’ for Camera and Artiste Tracking Systems.

Specialist Camera Systems –Technology:

has been specifically designed and developed to offer a new generation of aerial work. Providing the most adaptable and cost-effective method available to achieve shots that push the boundaries of our imagination.
Due to advanced rigging procedures, we are able to offer unique angles and shots that were previously unobtainable.
Specialist Camera Systems innovative procedures have been formulated over 30 years and offer proven methods that are entirely safe and completely controllable.

Navigator network:

Navigator Network provides the tools and flexibility to write complex cues. The system boasts true computer network that is not dependant on any centralised piece of equipment, hardware or software.

The speed of the network allows for real time monitoring, failure detection and a simplified multi layered safety system.

By virtue of the integrated nodes sharing a redundant, load sharing, real-time network, all damaged data is immediately rerouted. This ensures any problems are instantly alerted to the operators, allowing them the opportunity to implement real time solutions, rather than post-analytical explanations!
The nodes are in constant communication with each other, reporting their current status (position, movement, direction, velocity, health and history of the node).

Therefore, all winches literally talk to each other and will notify each other of any problems. They have then been programmed to simultaneously react to the failure, ensuring accuracy & safety at all times.
On request full technical data will be supplied, but in brief these two systems offer 2D and 3D Multiple-Axis, affordable flying systems.
